The solution
Project Overview
The client, a company in the custom printing industry, sought to enhance their online ordering system to better cater to their diverse customer base. Their offerings ranged from business cards and promotional materials to signage and personalized gifts, requiring a robust digital interface that simplified the ordering process while showcasing their product range.
Solution Overview
Netbase leveraged its expertise in eCommerce solutions to redefine the client's online platform.

FAQ
Questions about this project
How does artwork uploading work in the ordering flow?
Customers can submit files during ordering or right after checkout, and the workflow keeps the order tied to the correct artwork. If you need stricter file checks and automatic reminders, consider the Pro plan.
Will it send automatic emails to customers?
It can support automated messages like confirmation, proof-ready alerts, and completion notices, depending on your email provider. For higher deliverability and consistent scheduling, a Pro plan is recommended.
Can it handle multiple product types like cards, signage, and gifts?
Yes. The structure is designed to support clearer service categories and product options so customers can find the right item faster. For more complex catalogs and rules, a Pro plan makes advanced setup and validation easier.
Who is this workflow best for?
It’s ideal for custom print shops and businesses selling personalized printed products that need a clear path from product selection to artwork upload, proof approval, and fulfillment. A Pro plan is recommended if you want monitoring and priority help.
Do customers need an account to place an order?
Not necessarily. You can support guest checkout while still collecting the essentials (contact details, delivery info, and artwork). If you want better repeat ordering and status visibility, enabling accounts plus a Pro plan setup can help.
What happens if a customer forgets to upload artwork?
You can trigger follow-ups and reminders until the file is received, helping prevent stalled orders. Pro plan users can add stronger rules and escalation steps to reduce manual chasing.
Can we add proof approval before production starts?
Yes. You can include a proof step where the customer reviews and approves before production begins, reducing reprints and disputes. Pro plan users typically benefit from more reliable notifications and tracking.
How long does setup typically take?
Basic setup can be quick if your products and options are already organized. If you need custom rules, proof stages, and tailored messages, allow more time. Pro plan support can speed up configuration and reduce missteps.
Can we keep internal teams aligned on what to do next?
Yes. Orders can be organized by status (needs artwork, needs proof, approved, in production, ready to ship) so the next action is clear. A Pro plan helps with smoother handoffs and oversight.
Does it support clearer navigation and service categories?
Yes. The workflow pairs well with a catalog structure that groups services logically, improving discoverability and reducing confusion during ordering. Pro plan guidance can help you refine categories and naming for conversions.
