Introducing Printfection Quick Merch

Last week, we finished the development of our own Printfection API based application, Printfection Quick Merch. It is a practical application designed specifically for webcomic producers, however the technology and techniques used are applicable to all sorts of industries.

What is it?

Quick Merch was designed as a kind of bulk product create tool, where a user can select an image, choose a few options and hit go. Quick Merch goes off and uploads the image, creates a section and then creates all the selected products in one single step. It then returns some code and other marketing tools to help people market their creations. View the below video for a better understanding.

How does it work?

Printfection Quick Merch is built using PHP and the standard Printfection API. It use many of the methods to create things as well as PFQL to set up the input form and process the request. It is another practical example of what can be done with the Printfection API. We made no modifications or changes to the API, so you can build something similar as well.

Who can use it?

Even though we built it specifically for webcomic producers, Quick Merch can be used by anyone, especially, anyone who is producing a lot of new content on a regular basis and wants to create their product inventory fast. Feel free to try it out yourself, no matter what your background.
