Print shop online ordering: upload, proof & order

Print shops: customers upload, proof and pay online. Less counter time, more printing.

Customers emailing files, quoting by phone and proofs back and forth. We build online ordering for local print shops.

Looking for print shop online ordering?

Local print shops compete with online printers. We build ordering with uploads, proofs and local pickup.

Wollopit builds booking systems, client proofing, project portals and portfolio websites for print shops around how you actually create and deliver. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can spend more time on the work and less on the admin.

04Services

Everything under one roof

Software, websites and systems for print shops.

Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.

Custom software for print shops

Built around how your print shop actually runs: uploads, online pricing and the admin in between, in one system you own.

Websites for print shops

Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.

Print shop system upgrades

Running on spreadsheets, old software or a platform you've outgrown? We move your data across and upgrade in stages so the business never stops.

Apps and portals for print shops

Proofs and ready notifications: customer and staff portals that work on any phone without an app store.

Integrations and automation

We connect Stripe, Xero and Dropbox so information moves on its own and nobody retypes it.

Hosting, support and care

Managed hosting, updates, backups and security for your print shop, looked after by the people who built it.

06How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your print shop: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

07Questions

FAQ

Things print shops ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can customers choose pickup or delivery?

Yes. Both can be offered at checkout.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your print shop. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

Can clients approve work online?

Yes. Clients can review drafts, leave comments, approve and pay in one place instead of a dozen emails.

Will our portfolio load fast?

Yes. We hand-build portfolio sites so big images and video load quickly on phones without losing quality.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most print shops we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
