Create Your Own Products for In-House Fulfillment

Overview

This article reviews using the Production tab for any physical products you self-fulfill. To add services for purchase (e.g. retouching, sitting fees, etc.), please see Adding Additional Services for Purchase.

Adding the Production Tab

You can find the Production tab in the left-hand menu.

If you don’t see it, please contact our Customer Care Team. We’ll be happy to activate it for you.

Note: This feature is only available with Pro and custom Enterprise plans.

The production tab supports direct shipping and batch shipping. Direct shipping is activated per default, please select simple batch shipping (US) when setting up your production tab. 

We have created a complete guide for you that explains in detail the setup of your production tab and also tackles the steps of how you can process and manage your orders.

While the video below showcases the classic GotPhoto interface, the feature's functionality and layout remain the same in the new design.

Adding Products

Once you have set up the production tab, you can start adding products. 

Creating your own products is easy:

1. Go to My Products on the Production page.
2. Click on products & then on the blue + Create product button.
3. Fill out a name and a brief description, select a product category, and click on Save. You can also select whether this product will go into Manual Revision or not: You can also unfurl the Advanced Settings to collect up to 5 additional pieces of information from your customers upon purchase. This is useful for example in creating trading cards: Here is an example of what that would look like in your shop:
4. Find the product you just created, click on the Actions button, and then "Edit."
5. Click Select Image, find the product image, open it, and then click “Upload" (Upload only compressed images, max 500px in the longest edge).
6. Click on the button below to add a new size.
7. Write the dimensions and name of your new product. If you don’t want to allow cropping on this product, leave the width and height fields empty
8. Save.
