Frequently asked questions

How do Ordering, Builder, and Production work together?

Ordering captures what the customer wants to purchase. Builder provides artwork tools within the experiences that need them. Production keeps the purchased requirements connected as your team prepares the output.

Does every customer need to use the full Builder?

No. Customers can use direct ordering paths for prepared sheets, individual artwork, or ready-to-order designs. The full Builder is available when creating or adjusting a composition is part of the purchase.

Do I have to batch every order?

No. Prepare an approved order directly, or combine compatible work when batching helps your workflow.

Does Platened replace my printing software?

Platened handles ordering, artwork tools, and supported production preparation. Your printing software and equipment handle the physical production workflow. Validate the supported output formats against your setup.

Can I configure the experience for each product?

Yes. Use the supported product settings to choose the ordering options, dimensions, tools, and instructions appropriate for each product.

Does Platened print or ship my products?

No. Platened provides the software for ordering and preparation. Your business—or your separately arranged production provider—handles printing, finishing, and fulfillment.
