Printcore WALKTHROUGH

Company Stores

← All walkthroughs
Step 1 of 16Company Stores

One store per customer

Company Stores gives a customer their own storefront in your portal — polos, caps, tumblers and more with their logo already placed, at one fixed price per piece. Each store belongs to one customer account, and the list shows its status, window, listings, orders, and what has been ordered so far.

app.printcore.ai/stores
One store per customer

What to do

Turn on Apparel & Promo first (see walkthrough 21) and file the customer's logo and presets under Customer logos. Then click Company Stores in the sidebar, New store, and pick the customer.

Why it matters

Staff shirts, uniforms, and swag reorders stop being a spreadsheet of sizes collected by email. The customer's people order for themselves.
Step 2 of 16Company Stores

Set the rules for the store

The left panel sets how the store runs. A Pop-up store collects orders until it closes, then merges them into one job; Always open makes each order its own job. Set the window, whether a PO number is required, a spending limit per person or per order (block it, or send it to the office for approval), who approves, and whether it ships in bulk to the office or to each person. Sales tax uses the customer's primary location.

app.printcore.ai/stores
Set the rules for the store

What to do

Name the store, choose the type and dates, then set the payment, limit, approvers, and fulfillment. Pick the break to price at under Price items at the break for… — the number of pieces you expect per design.

Why it matters

The customer's rules are enforced at checkout, not by you chasing approvals afterwards.
Step 3 of 16Company Stores

Add items — the logo is locked in

Add item opens your curated catalog. Each listing takes the customer's decoration preset that fits it — left-chest embroidery on polos, cap front on caps, laser engraving on tumblers — and its price is the blank plus decoration at the expected break. If only 12 sell shows what you'd absorb per piece if the run comes in small.

app.printcore.ai/stores
Add items — the logo is locked in
Store price vs. “If only 12 sell”

What to do

Add the items, check each Logo placement, and type a price to override the suggestion. Click Publish listings (Re-publish after any change), then set the status to Open. Setup is built into the price, or waived when the logo is already approved.

Why it matters

You set the price knowing the downside, and the shopper never sees a separate setup line.
Step 4 of 16Company Stores

Decide who can order

Who can order has three options: an invite list with a personal link for each employee, the account's contacts signing in with email and PIN, or anyone with the store passcode. An invite link or passcode opens this store only — no job history, no invoices, no totals.

app.printcore.ai/stores
Decide who can order

What to do

Type a name and email and click Get link or Email invite. Use Quick add for the account's contacts. The copy and mail icons on each row resend a link; the trash icon withdraws it.

Why it matters

Employees can order without ever seeing the company's account — and a withdrawn link stops working.
Step 5 of 16Company Stores

The storefront

The invite link opens a branded store: the customer's logo, the store's close date, the shopper's spending limit, and category chips. Every product photo already shows the logo where it will go.

app.printcore.ai/portal
The storefront

What to do

Open an invite link yourself to see what employees see. The store works on a phone as well as a desktop.

Why it matters

Shoppers see exactly what they're getting, so there are fewer questions and fewer returns.
Step 6 of 16Company Stores

Pick color and sizes

The product page shows a mockup with the logo placed, the decoration ("Left chest — Embroidery"), the fixed price, and a note on setup. The shopper picks a color and types quantities in the size grid; bigger sizes show their extra charge.

app.printcore.ai/portal
Pick color and sizes

What to do

Choose a swatch, fill the size grid, and click Add to cart.

Why it matters

Every order arrives with the sizes already broken out — no follow-up emails asking for them.
Step 7 of 16Company Stores

Checkout on the company account

The cart shows sales tax at the company's rate and the total billed to the account. The shopper adds a name for packing and a department or location. If the order is over their spending limit, the cart says so and the button becomes Send for approval.

app.printcore.ai/portal
Checkout on the company account

What to do

Click Place order (or Send for approval). The shop gets a notification, and each person can check their orders under Orders.

Why it matters

Nobody pays at checkout, and the limit the customer set is applied every time.
Step 8 of 16Company Stores

The office approves over-limit orders

When a customer contact signs in to your portal, a Your company store is open banner and a Company Store button take them to the store. Orders over the limit wait under Approvals until an approver clicks Approve or Decline.

app.printcore.ai/portal
The office approves over-limit orders

What to do

Approvers sign in with email and PIN and open the store. The store page links straight to anything waiting. You can also approve on the customer's behalf from the store's Orders tab.

Why it matters

The customer's office keeps control of spending without you in the middle of it.
Step 9 of 16Company Stores

Orders merge into one job

The store's Orders tab lists every order with who placed it, their items, status, and total, above a combined size grid across all open orders. When a pop-up store closes — or when you click Batch into a job now — the orders merge into one job, and each order shows its job number.

app.printcore.ai/stores
Orders merge into one job

What to do

Click Batch into a job now and Create job to produce early, or set the store to Closed to batch everything. Always-open stores create a job for every order automatically.

Why it matters

Decoration runs once at the combined quantity — that's what makes the store price hold up.
Step 10 of 16Company Stores

A pick list for packing

The batched job has one line per item and color with the combined size grid, so blank POs and production work exactly as they do for any apparel job. Under the lines, a pick list by person shows who ordered what and where it goes.

app.printcore.ai/jobs/1009
A pick list for packing

What to do

Click Create blank PO to order the garments, then print the pick list when it's time to pack.

Why it matters

Nineteen people's orders become one production run and still get packed by name.
Step 11 of 16Company Stores

Sponsored stores: connect Stripe

For spirit wear, team uniforms, and fundraisers, each person can pay for their own order by card. Shop Settings → Payments connects your own Stripe account. Shoppers pay on Stripe's secure checkout, charged by your business, and the money settles to your Stripe account.

app.printcore.ai/settings/payments
Sponsored stores: connect Stripe

What to do

An admin clicks Connect Stripe and finishes the sign-up on Stripe. When the panel says Card payments are on, stores can take cards.

Why it matters

Card numbers never touch Printcore, and store orders on account need none of this.
Step 12 of 16Company Stores

Set up a card store — with a fundraiser

Set the store's Payment to Each person pays by card, or Shopper chooses: card or the account. Tick Fundraiser to add a dollar amount per piece for the organization. You can set a minimum number of pieces to run.

app.printcore.ai/stores
Set up a card store — with a fundraiser

What to do

Choose the payment option, enter the $ per piece and who it's raised for, then Re-publish so the listings include it.

Why it matters

Booster clubs and teams get a store that raises money, and you never collect cash for it.
Step 13 of 16Company Stores

Share a passcode

For a store open to a whole team or school, choose Anyone with the store passcode under Who can order. Share the store link along with the passcode; shoppers type it in to open the store.

app.printcore.ai/portal
Share a passcode

What to do

Set the passcode under Who can order and copy the link shown there. Change or remove the passcode at any time.

Why it matters

One link and one word to put on a flyer — no invite list to manage.
Step 14 of 16Company Stores

Pay by card

In a card store, the cart shows the fundraiser amount included in the total and a Pay by card button. The shopper finishes on Stripe's checkout page; if they cancel, nothing is charged and the cart is still there.

app.printcore.ai/portal
Pay by card

What to do

Shoppers click Pay by card. The order appears in your store as paid once Stripe confirms the payment.

Why it matters

You're paid before anything is ordered or decorated.
Step 15 of 16Company Stores

Store report and refunds

Card stores add a Store report: orders and pieces, card sales, what goes to your Stripe account after Printcore's fee, and how much was raised. Each order shows Paid, Part refunded, or Refunded.

app.printcore.ai/stores
Store report and refunds

What to do

Click Refund for a whole order, or refund beside a single line. Orders CSV exports everything. Cancel store & refund all closes the store and refunds every paid order.

Why it matters

Refunds happen in Printcore, and the fundraiser total is ready to hand to the organization.
