One of Paage's core product is "the Printiverse studio", a place where you can source, create and order quality print-on-demand products.
The Printiverse studio is what we call a "print-on-demand platform", and you can use it independently from the Paage store.
Case 1 : I just want to use the Studio
If you have already an online store, you can of course use the Studio like a traditional print-on-demand platform and order custom products manually.
Here are the different use cases :
Manual Studio order for yourself : you can order Studio products for yourself (eg. you want to stock up products in prevision of a creator market)
Manual Studio order for a customer : you can order Studio products for your customers and ship the products directly to them (manual dropshipping)
In other words, no need to create a Paage store to enjoy the service of the Studio. However, it is for now not possible to connect third party ecommerce platforms such as Shopify, Squarespace or Etsy to the Studio so as to automate your order fulfillments. In other words, when you have a sale, you will have to log into your Paage account, go to the Studio and order the desired product manually to ship it directly to your final customer. You will be able to track your order normally but you'll have to follow-up with your final customer by yourself.
Case 2 : I want to use the Studio + the Store
If you don't have a store yet (or if you want to migrate your current store to Paage - wise move ! :)) you can combine the power of our two services - the Printiverse studio + the Store - by selling directly on your Paage Store the products you've created in the Studio. It is the best way to automate your Studio product sales - when you sell a product, Printiverse produce and fulfill the order for you automatically.
When you use the Studio + the Store, you might have the following use cases :
Manual Studio order for yourself : you can order Studio products for yourself (eg. you want to stock up products in prevision of a creator market)
Manual Studio order for a customer : you can order Studio products for your customers and ship the products directly to them (manual dropshipping)
Automatic Studio order from a Store sale : when you have a Studio product sale on your Paage Store, a Studio order is automatically created and we fulfill the order for you (automatic dropshipping)
