Short Summary
This article explains how basic dropshipping works, when to contact The Stackhouse before launching a fulfillment workflow, and what details we need to review for automated or white-label print-on-demand setup.
Quick Answer
For a simple dropshipping order, place the order through The Stackhouse website and enter your customer's shipping address at checkout. For ongoing fulfillment, white-label packaging, or automated print-on-demand workflows, contact us before building the workflow so we can confirm what is supported.
Basic Dropshipping
Basic dropshipping means you place an order yourself and have it shipped directly to your customer. The order follows the same product, production, and shipping rules as a regular Stackhouse order.
- Choose the print product, size, material, quantity, border, crop, and shipping method during checkout.
- Enter your customer's shipping address as the delivery address.
- Review the order carefully before submitting it, especially crop, file, product, and shipping details.
Packing Slips, Labels, and Branding
Before relying on Stackhouse for customer-facing fulfillment, confirm what should appear inside and outside the package.
- Orders may include a generic packing slip that does not show your product price.
- Carrier labels, return information, or packaging may identify The Stackhouse Printery unless a different arrangement is reviewed and approved.
- White-label requirements should be discussed before launch.
Automated or Shopify-Based Workflows
Automated print-on-demand setup is not a default self-serve service. If you want orders to flow from Shopify or another ecommerce platform into Stackhouse production, contact us before development begins.
We will need to understand the platform, product setup, file handoff, order volume, packing requirements, shipping requirements, and support responsibilities before confirming a path.
What To Send Us
When you contact support about dropshipping, fulfillment, or print-on-demand setup, include:
- Your ecommerce platform, such as Shopify or another cart system.
- Expected monthly order volume.
- Product types, sizes, materials, and finishing options.
- Whether products need fixed SKUs or variants.
- How image files will be supplied and named.
- Packing slip, return-address, or white-label requirements.
- Shipping destinations, shipping speeds, and launch timeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you ship directly to my customer?
Yes. For basic dropshipping, enter your customer's delivery address at checkout.
Does the packing slip show my price?
Generic packing slips generally do not show pricing. Confirm any packing-slip requirements before launch.
Can packaging be white-labeled?
Contact us before launch. We need to confirm what will appear on packing slips, carrier labels, return information, and packaging materials.
Do you have a public print-on-demand app or API?
Not as a general self-serve option. Some integration paths may be possible after review, but they should be confirmed before development begins.
Should I build my Shopify workflow before contacting Stackhouse?
No. Contact us first so we can confirm the correct order path and avoid building around assumptions that may not fit production.
