How can I switch from another POD provider to Spreadconnect?
Do you need a quick replacement for your POD provider? Or maybe you’re looking for a shorter turnaround time? Spreadconnect is happy to support you.
If you don’t already have an account with us, you can register here.
You can then create your products in the Spreadconnect App and add them to your online shop.
If you already have an order through your current POD provider, and you want Spreadconnect to produce it instead, here’s what you need to do:
Step 1: Register for a Spreadconnect Account
Begin by signing up for a free Spreadconnect account. The platform is entirely free to use, with no subscription fees or hidden charges. You only pay the base cost of the product and shipping once a customer places an order.
Step 2: Integrate Spreadconnect with Your Online Store
Spreadconnect offers seamless integrations with popular e-commerce platforms, including Shopify, WooCommerce, and Squarespace. Install the appropriate Spreadconnect app or plugin for your platform to enable automated product syncing and order fulfillment.
Step 3: Recreate Your Products in Spreadconnect
Rebuild your existing product catalog within the Spreadconnect dashboard. Utilize the platform's design tools to upload your artwork, select from over 250 customizable products, and set your pricing. Ensure that product descriptions, variants, and images align with your previous listings to maintain brand consistency.
Step 4: Update or Redirect Existing Product Listings
For products listed on your current POD provider, consider updating the product URLs or redirecting them to the new Spreadconnect versions. This approach preserves your SEO rankings and ensures a smooth customer experience.
Step 5: Manage Existing Orders During the Transition
If you have pending orders with your current POD provider but prefer Spreadconnect to fulfill them, you can manually recreate these orders in your online store:
Add the corresponding product in Spreadconnect.
Create a manual order in your e-commerce platform (e.g., Shopify or WooCommerce) using the same customer details and order information.
