Who is CrafPrint for?
It is designed for crafters, custom-product businesses, apparel decorators, DTF/DTG shops, and small-to-medium print shops.

No. Individual sellers and growing home-based businesses can use the same practical approach to organizing their work.

Orders & Production
Can I manage custom orders?
You can record a customer, product, quantity, order total, due date, status, and production notes. Detailed multi-item orders and richer customization fields are planned.
Can I track where an order is in production?
The Production Board groups orders by their status and supports moving jobs between stages. Keep the status and notes current as work progresses.
What is the CrafPrint Production Board?
It is a Kanban-style view of orders grouped by production stage. The simplified workflow described in Getting Started is the intended direction; the current app includes additional stage labels.
Can I track order due dates?
Yes. Orders and tasks can include due dates. Calendar views, automated reminders, and scheduling assistance are planned.
Can I manage design approvals?
You can track an order awaiting approval and record the decision in job notes. Customer approval portals and saved design-file workflows are planned.
Customers
Can I store customer information?
Customer records support a name, email address, phone number, and notes. Enter the information needed to manage the business relationship.
Can I see previous customer orders?
Orders can be associated with a customer. Review order records for earlier jobs; a dedicated customer activity timeline is still planned.
Can I add notes to a customer?
Yes. Use customer notes for useful preferences and job context. Avoid recording passwords or payment-card details.
Products & Inventory
Can I manage products and product variants?
You can create products with names, SKUs, prices, costs, and notes. Detailed size/color variants and a preloaded product library are planned.
Can I track inventory?
Inventory records include names, SKUs, quantities, reorder levels, costs, and supplier references. Keep quantities current when stock changes; automatic order consumption is planned.
Does CrafPrint provide low-stock alerts?
You can record reorder levels and review stock quantities. Automatic low-stock notifications are not yet available.
Can I manage vendors?
Vendor records let you keep supplier names, email addresses, phone numbers, and notes. Full purchase-order workflows are planned.
Calculators
What are CrafPrint Cost Calculators?
They help translate your cost assumptions into pricing decisions. The current basic tools cover profit/markup and break-even calculations; specialized material, usage, design, labor, and bundle tools are planned.
Can CrafPrint help calculate profit margins?
Yes. Enter product cost and selling price to estimate profit, margin, and markup. Margin is profit divided by selling price; markup is profit divided by cost.
Can I include material and labor costs?
Include your own material, labor, design/setup, and overhead estimates in the total cost you enter. Dedicated cost breakdown and material-usage tools are planned.
What is the Design Cost Calculator?
It is a planned tool for estimating artwork preparation and setup costs. For now, include those costs in your manual product-cost estimate.
Design & AI
What is CrafPrint Design Studio AI?
It is the planned design and AI-assisted workspace for concepts, product content, and creative preparation. AI generation, the editor, and saved assets are not yet implemented.
Can CrafPrint help create product mockups?
Product mockup rendering is planned. Current marketing visuals illustrate the intended experience and are not a working mockup generator.
Does CrafPrint AI replace my designs?
No. The intended tools assist your creativity with ideas and drafts. You choose the direction, review the details, and approve the result.
Account & Security
How do I reset my password?
Use the existing password-recovery page, enter your account email, and follow the instructions in the reset message. Check your spam folder if needed.
Can multiple people work in one business account?
Shared business access is part of the intended platform. Team invitations, assignments, and the complete team-permission experience remain planned.
How is my business information protected?
CrafPrint uses authenticated account access and business-scoped data controls in its current implementation. Production setup and access verification are still being completed. No security certification or uptime guarantee is claimed.
Support
How do I contact CrafPrint Support?
Select Contact Support to open the existing application login. The intended flow is sign in, then create or manage a support ticket. Ticket creation is not yet available, and login currently opens the dashboard.
Account & Business Setup
Where do I start with business settings?
After creating an account, review your business information and profile settings. Keep contact details and preferences accurate before entering live business records.
Vendors
What supplier information should I record?
Start with the supplier name, contact email, phone number, and practical purchasing notes. Inventory and material records can reference a supplier. Purchasing automation remains planned.
Tasks & Calendar
How should I organize upcoming work?
Create tasks with due dates, status, and notes, and associate a task with an order when appropriate. A calendar view, automatic reminders, and team assignments remain planned.
Reports
What do current reports show?
Current reporting summarizes recorded paid invoices, entered expenses, unpaid balances, and operational counts. Paid-invoice revenue and cash surplus are not the same as estimated job profit. Advanced product-performance and job-profit reporting are planned.
Integrations
Which connected services are available?
Live Shopify, Etsy, shipping, and other provider integrations are not yet available. Planned connections should not be treated as active services.
Still need help?
Existing CrafPrint customers can sign in to their account for the intended support-ticket workflow. Creating and managing tickets is not available yet; sign-in currently opens your dashboard.
