Install PrintKit on your store
Pick your platform. Each one has its own short set of steps.
Platform names and logos belong to their owners.
Every platform gets the same builders and the same print-ready files. What changes is how PrintKit gets onto your store and where your customer pays. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, then $19/mo for your first builder and +$12/mo for each one you add.
| Platform | How you install | Where the customer pays |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify | App from the Shopify App Store | Your Shopify checkout |
| Wix | App from the Wix App Market | Your Wix checkout |
| WooCommerce | PrintKit WordPress plugin | Your WooCommerce checkout |
| BigCommerce | Paste one line of code (cart app coming soon) | PrintKit’s quote and payment page (your own Stripe) |
| Webflow | Paste one line of code | PrintKit’s quote and payment page (your own Stripe) |
| Anything else | Paste one line of code | Card through your own Stripe, or as a quote |
Find PrintKit in the app stores
PrintKit has a slightly different name in each store. Search for the exact name below, or use the link.
| Where | Search for | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify App Store | PrintKit by Big Chato’s | Open in Shopify |
| Wix App Market | PrintKit Product Designer | Add to Wix |
| WordPress.org plugins (WooCommerce) | PrintKit Custom Design Builder for WooCommerce | Live on WordPress.org soon |
On BigCommerce, Squarespace, Webflow and other sites there is nothing to search for: you paste one line of code (see below).
Shopify
- Open PrintKit on the Shopify App Store and click Install. Shopify asks you to approve the app’s permissions.
- In the app, open Plan & billing and tick the builders you run. Approving the plan starts your free trial. Shopify bills you; nothing is charged until the trial ends.
- Open Initial setup for your brand and machines, then Builder setup for your products and prices.
- Put a builder on your store: Online Store → Themes → Customize, open a page, Add block → Apps → Product Builder, choose the builder and Save.
The full walk-through, including test orders, is in Getting started.
Wix
PrintKit is on the Wix App Market as PrintKit Product Designer. Your site needs Wix Stores (it is what holds the cart), and your plan is billed through your Wix account.
- While logged in to Wix, open the PrintKit install link (or search “PrintKit” in the Wix App Market) and pick your site. Wix shows the permissions the app needs: adding designs to your customer’s cart, reading your orders so paid orders show as paid, and saving design images to your site’s media.
- In your Wix dashboard, open PrintKit. Enter your shop name and the email for new orders, agree to the terms and click Start. Already use PrintKit on another store? Click Connect that shop instead.
- Tick the builders you want and click Choose a plan. Your first plan starts with a 14-day free trial. Billing, invoices and cancelling are in your Wix account.
- Walk through Finish setting up to pick your machines and print basics, and set your products and prices.
- In the Wix Editor, click Add Elements (+) → App Widgets, add the design builder to a page, then pick the builder in the widget’s Settings. Publish your site.
Finished designs go into your Wix cart as a normal item at your PrintKit price, and your customer checks out with your usual Wix checkout. In your Wix orders, a design’s SKU is its PrintKit order number (PK-Q…). Builders stay hidden on your site until you choose a plan.
WooCommerce
The PrintKit WordPress plugin puts each finished design into your own WooCommerce cart, priced by PrintKit. It needs WordPress 6.0 or newer and WooCommerce.
- Create your account at app.printkit.tech/signup, then pick your builders on Billing to start your free trial.
- In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin, search for PrintKit Custom Design Builder for WooCommerce, then click Install Now and Activate. (You can also download the plugin file from your PrintKit dashboard under Using WooCommerce? and upload it.)
- Back on the PrintKit WooCommerce page, click Create my shared secret. In WordPress, open Settings → PrintKit, paste your publishable key and shared secret, check the server URL matches, and save.
- Add a builder to any page with its shortcode, for example
[printkit_builder builder="shirts"]. Swapshirtsforstickers,sticker-single,dtf-transfers,embroidery,uv-rolloruv-substrate.
When the order is paid in WooCommerce, it shows as paid in PrintKit too, with the print files ready.
BigCommerce
On BigCommerce, PrintKit works today with the one-line embed. A PrintKit app that puts finished designs straight into your BigCommerce cart is coming soon.
- Create your account at app.printkit.tech/signup and pick your builders on Billing.
- Copy your one-line snippet from the PrintKit dashboard.
- In your BigCommerce admin, go to Storefront → Web Pages, create or edit a page, switch the editor to HTML source (the
</>button), paste the snippet and save. For a site-wide placement, use Storefront → Script Manager instead.
Checkout. Until the app arrives, your customers check out on PrintKit’s quote and payment page, paid by card through your own connected Stripe account or as quotes you price yourself. Orders show in your PrintKit portal.
Webflow
On Webflow, PrintKit works with the one-line embed. There is no PrintKit app in the Webflow Marketplace.
- Create your account at app.printkit.tech/signup (14-day free trial, then from $19/month) and pick your builders on Billing.
- Copy your one-line snippet from the PrintKit dashboard.
- In the Webflow Designer, drag an Embed element (HTML Embed) onto the page, paste the snippet and save.
- Click Publish. The builder only runs on your published site, and custom code needs a paid Webflow Site plan.
Checkout. Your customers check out on PrintKit’s quote and payment page, paid by card through your own connected Stripe account or as quotes you price yourself. Orders show in your PrintKit portal.
Squarespace & any website
- Create your account at app.printkit.tech/signup and pick your builders on Billing.
- Copy your one-line snippet from the dashboard. It carries your public key, so it is safe to paste anywhere.
- Paste it into an HTML block: a Code block set to HTML on Squarespace, an HTML Embed element on Webflow, or straight into the page source anywhere else.
<script async src="https://app.printkit.tech/embed.js" data-printkit-key="pk_live_your_key" data-builder="shirts"></script>
On these sites, finished designs arrive in your PrintKit portal, paid by card through your own connected Stripe account or as quotes you price yourself. More detail per platform is on the Platforms page.
