Welcome to Print Your Cause. We're honored you've chosen to set up a store with us and excited to start seeing you raise some funds for your cause! Below we will walk you though all the steps to complete before marking your store to "live for orders" - as always our team is here to help, if you have questions along the way don't hesitate to reach out to us


Once you accept the emailed invitation, and signed-in, it's time to start setting up your account! Make sure all of the following are complete before you set your store to live! 

  1. Invite additional store administrators - anyone you want to have access to build products, see orders, and profits, or make edits in your store.
  2. Set your notification preferences - you can decide if you want notifications when orders are placed, and who in your organization will be receiving these.
  3. Add branding information - best if you're not choosing to embed your store, you can add a blurb about your organization that shoppers will see on the storefront (only available on some subscriptions)
  4. Set your customer support email address - this is the email your customers will reach if they have an issue with their product, want an exchange or refund, etc. (only available on some subscriptions)
  5. Complete your "Account payments and disbursements" information to ensure you get paid!
    We now offer ACH payments with the help of our trusted partners at Melio. We send profits distributions quarterly for all accounts with a profit balance of $50.00 or more. When the time comes you can expect an email from Melio to enter your distribution preference.
    1. Add and decorate the products you'd like to sell, make sure you check out our artwork tips and tricks, and embroidery help guides for the best quality prints!
    2. Set sales prices (individually or in bulk) - if you don't change the price of your products, you store will be at cost, and you won't make a profit
    3. Organize your storefront - decide what your customers see
      1. Arrange products and colors
      2. Set categories (if this applies to you)
    4. DOUBLE CHECK EVERY PRODUCT products will print exactly as you see in the mockups on your store page - we do not check spelling, logo placement, or print resolution prior to producing the product. Not sure about your designs / placement / resolution? Let us help, for $20 we will look through your store design-by-design to ensure they're ready to go to print.
    5. Embed your store - copy and paste the html and script tag to a content block within your website for seemless shopping (available on the standard and pro-level subscription)
    6. Review our Policies and Procedures - Please take a minute to read through our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Return Policy and Replacement Policy
    7. Set your store to live! As soon as this step is completed your live will istantly be live for orders in real-time! You can do this by clicking the link in the banner you'll see at the top of your store.
