Photography Meets Shopify​

In recent years, Shopify has emerged as one of the most popular and successful e-commerce platforms. While it is commonly associated with household and general consumer products, its versatility has attracted businesses in niche markets, including photo-products.

Increasingly, many in the photographic industry have started leveraging Shopify’s accessibility and ease of use to sell photo-products.

Now it has come full circle! A web company initially focused on selling household furnishings has now expanded its offerings to include photographic print sets.

BlueFX has helped make it happen.

The Challenge: Automating Print Fulfilment

Primarily the goal was not only to automate the printing process but to ensure the process was robust and simple enough to be handled by staff without a primary photography background.
Automating the process meant that the focus could be on the product handling and delivery process. In these final stages is where POD and Drop-Shippers come into there own and benefit from customised delivery notes, job separators and business systems integration.

The BlueFX Solution: Seamless Integration

BlueFX played a pivotal role in integrating print fulfillment into the company’s existing operations. The process was designed to ensure efficiency and scalability, turning a tedious set of tasks into a streamlined system.

IFX created the following workflow:

  1. Processing print orders directly from the website using Shopify.

  2. Using UploadKit with Google Drive synchronization to manage files efficiently.

  3. Importing orders into BlueFX for processing.

  4. RIP & Print using BlueControl with an Epson SureLab SL-D1000 printer.

This automated workflow eliminated the need for human intervention, creating a seamless transition from online orders to the factory floor.

Scaling for Growth

BlueFX offers the flexibility to scale production easily. Adding extra printers—including different models and formats such as large format printers (LFPs)—is simple. This flexibility allows businesses to expand their product offerings to include items like greeting cards and calendars, as required, all within the same workflow.

Real-Time Updates with Shopify API

Another advantage of BlueFX integration is its ability to provide real-time updates through the Shopify API. Customers can stay in the loop about their print orders, making the process clear and providing confidence.
