The problem
Handling orders and artwork manually does not scale. Orders placed on the store needed to reach the print supplier reliably, artwork needed checking before production, and staff needed a single place to manage everything — without re-keying data between systems.
The technical challenge
Integrating WooCommerce with the Tradeprint API meant handling real order data, artwork files, and the supplier's workflow reliably — including the edge cases that break naive integrations.
The solution
A WooCommerce store integrated directly with the Tradeprint API, an automated artwork-proofing flow, and a custom admin dashboard that lets staff manage orders from placement through to supplier fulfilment.
Implementation highlights
- WooCommerce store with custom product and order handling
- Live integration with the Tradeprint supplier API for order submission
- Automated artwork-proofing workflow
- Custom admin dashboard for end-to-end order management
- Error handling and reliability around the supplier integration
Outcome & business value
- Orders flow from the store to the supplier without manual re-entry
- Artwork proofing is handled in a structured, repeatable workflow
- Staff manage the full order lifecycle from one dashboard
