Print Laser Pro

How to Set Up a Shopify Store for Custom Patches

Short answer: Install Print Laser Pro, add ready-to-sell customizer products, place one universal app block, and test the complete cart experience. This beginner-friendly guide follows the exact Shopify setup flow and does not require code.

Step-by-step

  1. Install Print Laser Pro from Shopify

    Open the Print Laser Pro listing in the Shopify App Store and click Install. Review the requested permissions and exact charges on Shopify's approval screen. The subscription is $79/month, $790/year, or $2,500 lifetime and includes unlimited Shopify, custom, hosted, and embedded storefronts. Published usage fees apply to qualifying store orders.

  2. Open the guided Setup page

    In Shopify Admin, choose Apps, open Print Laser Pro, and select Setup. Confirm the Billing page recognizes an active subscription or shows the billing terms you are approving. Keep the Setup checklist open as you work; its buttons take you directly to the correct Shopify theme and product screens.

  3. Add your customizer products

    Open Sales Customizers inside the Shopify app. Click Add to Shopify on one builder or Add or update all active customizers to install the complete active set. Print Laser Pro creates, activates, and publishes the Shopify products with the correct builder and partner store already assigned. Running the installer again updates the same products instead of making duplicates.

  4. Review synchronized pricing and availability

    Open the Synced pricing tab under Sales Customizers. Set the starting prices and turn off any builders you do not offer, then save. The same record powers your PIUP partner-store dashboard and customer checkout. Installed Shopify product prices and published or draft status update automatically.

  5. Add the universal Product Customizer block

    From the app's Setup or Sales Customizers page, click Add storefront app block. In the Shopify theme editor, place Product Customizer in the main product-information section and click Save. Add it once to the template: protected product data automatically opens the correct patch, hat, DTF, UV DTF, or sticker builder, and the block stays hidden on ordinary products.

  6. Preview the product page

    Return to Sales Customizers and use View product for an installed builder. Start a design, upload or generate artwork, choose the required options, and confirm the preview and calculated price update correctly. The normal product add-to-cart controls are hidden on managed products so customization cannot be bypassed.

  7. Test the Shopify cart

    Set the quantity to two or more and click Add to Cart. Confirm Shopify's native cart opens with the selected quantity, design name, size, and customization details. Change the quantity, continue shopping, and add another product before testing Checkout.

  8. Publish and monitor your first orders

    When the test is correct, keep the theme changes published. Customer orders use Shopify checkout and appear in Shopify Admin, while Print Laser Pro keeps the associated design information and production-ready artwork available in the app dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

What does the account include, and what costs extra?
The subscription is $79/month, $790/year, or $2,500 lifetime and includes unlimited Shopify, custom, hosted, and embedded storefronts. Published usage fees apply to qualifying store orders. Optional team members are $9/month each.
Will Shopify charge me $79 again if I already subscribe?
An existing Print Laser Pro account is reused. A current subscription already includes storefront access — use the same account email or begin in Settings so Shopify can recognize it. Review the approval screen and contact support before accepting an unexpected second recurring charge.
Do I need a developer to set up Shopify with Print Laser Pro?
No. The Sales Customizers installer creates and publishes the products, and the universal Product Customizer block is added through Shopify's visual theme editor. The in-app Setup page includes direct shortcuts and a checklist. No product tags or theme-code editing are required.
What should I check if the builder does not appear?
Confirm the product shows Live in Sales Customizers, Product Customizer is saved in the same Shopify product template the product uses, and that customizer is enabled under Synced pricing. Use Add or update all active customizers again if the product needs to be refreshed; it updates the existing product without creating a duplicate.
Can customers buy more than one patch or keep shopping?
Yes. The completed design is added to Shopify's native cart. Customers can select multiple quantities, edit the quantity in the cart, continue shopping, add other products, and check out when they are ready.
Where can I get setup help?
Open Support inside Print Laser Pro or email support@patchituppro.com. Include your Shopify store URL, theme name, product link, and a screenshot of the step where you need help.
