The configurator
The configurator: any file in, a print-ready order out, before anyone pays.
The buyer uploads whatever they have. A JPEG off a website, an old logo with a white box around it. The configurator turns it into a clean vector, removes the background, sets it in the real print zone at the real size, checks it at print resolution and shows it stitched or inked on the product. The price moves as they work. They pay. The seller gets a file the floor can run and never opens it.
Every file, check and approval stays on the order line that paid for it.

The tour
Upload anything. The file fixes itself.
Embroidery
Embroidery without a phone call. The stitch count and threads read from the file. The digitizing lives inside the order.
Add an embroidered product and a digitizing line is added to the order on its own. A digitizer still does the digitizing. What changed is where it lives: the proof, the approval, the DST and the stitch count stay on the line that paid for them. When the DST comes back, the stitch count reads itself and prices the line. Brand colors arrive as hex codes and come out as thread names on the quote.
"Nobody else does that?"Owner, team dealer running a store tool and a fulfillment tool side by side, on thread colors matched automatically for embroidery
The price and the payment
The price moves while they work. Then they pay however they need to pay.
Every change the buyer makes reprices the cart on the spot: quantity tiers, the decoration method, the stitch count, the 2XL surcharge. It all comes from the price list the store inherited, and the floor never lets a line drop under cost. The buyer sees in seconds what a seller used to take 30 to 50 minutes to type into a quote.
Then they pay. A card for the fan. An allowance for the employee. A gift card for the service award. A purchase order for procurement, captured at checkout. No rep in the loop.
The seller gets an order with a vector, a DST with a stitch count, thread names, a mockup the floor can match, and a payment already taken. They never opened a file.
What used to go wrong
Every bad-art ticket started with a file somebody accepted.
It looked fine on a phone. It fell apart at fourteen inches, after the blanks were pulled.
An email to the customer, a week of waiting, a quote gone cold.
Five minutes in an editing program per logo, times every logo, times every store.
The price was wrong the moment it was typed.
A color call per embroidered order, and a redo when the answer was wrong.
Product by product, store by store, then again next time.
The work
What the seller never handles, and what was set once.
What you never handle
- The customer's file. It is vectorized, cleaned, checked and placed on its own.
- The mockup, per technique, from the real artwork.
- The stitch count, the thread colors and the digitizing request.
- The price. It builds from the price list and holds the floor.
- The payment, taken at checkout.
What you set once
- Which techniques each store may offer.
- Your PSD templates, per product.
- The price list, the size surcharges and the floor.
