How to warehouse & fulfill screen printed products
If you are seeking the benefits of screen printing, but are looking for a fully managed service, you can combine Apliiq's screen printing and warehousing services to purchase products in bulk then fulfill screen print orders from your webstore.
Follow the below steps to get started;
Setup Your Designs
Use the Apliiq website to setup your product designs by selecting garments from the Apliiq catalog, adding your artwork then using the "buy in bulk" option to set the specific quantities you want.
Create Your Bulk Order
Select the sizes and quantities for each design and add them to your cart.
Select "Warehouse My Items" during checkout
Within the shipping section of checkout, instead of providing a shipping address, select the warehouse my items option within the ship to to section.
Pick Your Warehouse & Checkout
Once you've selected to warehouse your items, you are prompted to select the warehouse that you'd like to store your items at. Apliiq recommend selecting the warehouse that is closer to your end customers. For example, if you are a Los Angeles, based brand and your primary customer base is on the West coast, it's best to pick Los Angeles.
Once you've selected your warehouse, finish checking out and place your order.
Once Your Order Is Completed & Checked In
Upon finishing your order, it will be checked into the Apliiq warehouse of your choice. Your products will be displayed within the warehousing section of your Apliiq account.
Sync Your Products To Your Store To Begin Selling
Select the sync product option within the pick list and you will be taken to the saved design page for that product. Click the next button and select "add to my store" option to sync the product to your Shopify store.
Please note: the add to store option will not be available for screen print products, if they are not added to your warehouse. Add saved designs to your warehouse first, then sync them to your store!
Active Inventory Tracking For Your Items Within Your Store (Optional, but recommended)
Apliiq warehouse will keep track of all inventory, sizes, and skus for your products and can communicate this information directly to your Shopify store. The Apliiq team recommends sync'ing this inventory to your Shopify store so your customers can accurately see what sizes and colors you have in stock.
Syncing your inventory will reduce out of stock situations, customer service, and customer dissatisfaction.
