01
Each new product takes days
A dozen or more variants per artwork, each set up in Shopify by hand with a code and a price.
Print on demand
The technology team for print-on-demand Shopify stores
Architecture, engineering, QA, IT, and operations. We find the hand work in your week, design the fix, build it, test it, ship it, and run it with you.
The problems
02
Orders are keyed by hand
Someone copies each order into the printer's portal and pastes the tracking number back into Shopify.
03
Repricing takes hours
Hundreds of products, each repriced by hand, so it gets done once a year.
04
No one owns the technical side
Apps, spreadsheets, and one person who remembers how they connect.
The engagement
We start with a systems review: the path from file to Shopify to printer to customer today, which steps are done by hand, and what to build first. Then we design the fix, write the code, test it, ship it, and run it through the first months. Architecture, engineering, QA, IT, and operations are all inside the engagement. The person who designs it builds it, and the person who builds it maintains it.
Case study · Sandgrain Studio
Sandgrain Studio sells art prints on Shopify and hired GWP as its technology team. Setting up a new product went from days to seconds. A catalog-wide price change that took hours takes seconds, and it contributed to a 3% rise in revenue.

What the engagement covers
Architecture, engineering, product management, QA, interface design, IT, and day-to-day operations, on a part-time schedule, for as long as needed.
Who it is for
Print-on-demand stores on Shopify with hundreds of designs and a team of five to fifty, where product setup, pricing, and order handling take hours every week and no one on staff owns the technical side.
Other clients
A mid-sized print-on-demand company in the Midwest hired us to modernize checkout, the groundwork for the custom Shopify app they want. So far that has meant process design, frontend engineering, and solutions architecture.
At WowBrands we build the systems under their SaaS product: data lakes, automated deployments, provisioning.
How it starts
With a systems review. We map how the store is run today, count the hours spent on each piece of hand work, and rank what to build first. The written map and the ranking are yours to keep.
