Supported Capabilities

• 1-Click Quote Assembly: Turn any complex custom quote into a reusable template, eliminating repetitive data entry for high-frequency sales bundles.
• Standalone Ad Funnels: Mobile-optimized landing pages engineered for social media ads (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) and targeted email campaigns.
• Multi-Tenant Routing Architecture:
  • Platform Shared Domain: https://printlifesoftware.com/o/[shop-slug]/[offer-slug]
  • Subdomains & Custom Domains: https://[subdomain].project-invoice.com/offer/[offer-slug]
  • Shortlinks: /o/[slug] redirects automatically to /offer/[slug].
  • Permanent Doc ID Links: .../offer/[offerId] permanently resolves even if slugs or titles are altered later.
• Automatic Slug Deduplication: If multiple offers share a title, Studio automatically appends numeric suffixes (-2, -3) to prevent routing collisions.
• Color Book Palette Locking: Enforce production constraints by restricting buyers to exact in-stock manufacturer thread or ink colors, strictly capped at the package's included color count.
• Vendor Size Upcharges (2XL–5XL): Base sizes (Youth XS to Adult XL) are covered by the flat bundle price. Extended sizes dynamically pull the wholesale cost difference from your connected distributor catalog (SanMar, S&S, AlphaBroder).
• High-Resolution QR Generator: Generates 1024×1024 dynamic QR codes with 1-click PNG downloads and clipboard copying for print collateral.
• 3-Step Funnel Analytics: Granular tracking for Page Views (deduplicated per browser session), Customizer Starts, and Completed Orders / Total Revenue.

Operational Boundaries

• Custom Apex Domain Mapping: Individual offers are served via [subdomain].project-invoice.com or printlifesoftware.com. Binding third-party apex domains (e.g., special.myshop.com) directly to a single offer is not supported.
• Unstructured Mixed-Garment Packages: A Value Offer bundle requires consistent base piece minimums across defined style lines. Highly variable, pick-and-mix custom garments are better served through standard multi-project quotes.

How do upfront payments work on Value Offers?

In the Landing Page & QR Settings modal, you can choose how orders are captured:

• Require Upfront Credit Card Payment (ON): Buyers must pay via credit card at checkout. Studio automatically generates a paid Invoice with an attached receipt and moves the job into your production queue.
• Require Upfront Credit Card Payment (OFF): Buyers enter their sizes and upload artwork without paying. Studio creates a draft Quote for your team to review, proof, and bill manually.
