This puts my mind at ease quite a bit. Thanks, Temple!

There’s just a “checkout later” link that seems to be a MAILTO: that wants to start my email program, which is odd.

I’m not going to actually place an order to see where I get sent upon order completion, but I’d like to know. Do customers go back to our shops, or to Spreadshirt’s site?

Thanks for any info in advance, Spreadshirt.

I doubt any shopowners will tolerate being unpaid marketers for Spreadshirt’s marketplace spending their own time, money and effort to find and drive new customers to their shops who quickly hit the cart and are sent straight to our competitor so we likely never see them again.

If this is so, there will almost certainly be a mass exodus of shopowners leaving Spreadshirt for competitors who don’t do this.

Can anyone from Spreadshirt clarify this ASAP? Will a shop-friendly version of the new cart be made? If so, when? Are any of my assumptions incorrect?

Thanks.

Last I checked, they could not:

————-
1. brand the new checkout with their shop’s logo rather than Spreadshirt’s logo?

2. have links back to their shop rather than links to Spreadshirt’s site?

3. make cart exits (for example, completing a purchase, or using a ‘Continue Shopping’-type of button, etc.) go back to their shop rather than to Spreadshirt’s site?
————-

I think nearly all shopowners would agree that these capabilities are absolutely necessary, otherwise customers that shopowners worked hard to acquire and drive to their stores using their own marketing efforts and expenditures are being diverted away from their stores to a competitor (the Spreadshirt marketplace).

That’s VERY unacceptable, and would cause most of us to examine alternative production/fulfillment companies.

Spreadshirt previously told us they were working on a version of the new checkout for shops that will allow all this. Is there an estimate as to when it will be ready? Thanks.
