Why B2B Web2Print is needed for printing companies
Why B2C Web2Print Matters for Print Businesses
Most retail customers prefer to order print products online. They want to browse products, check prices, upload files, and place an order without waiting for replies. They also want to know what is happening with their order without having to call the print shop.
When a print business lacks a B2C Web2Print system, retail orders are handled via email, phone, and manual follow-ups. This takes time and limits how many orders the business can handle.
A B2C Web2Print portal allows customers to place orders on their own while your team focuses on production and delivery.
Unified Web2Print for Online Sales and Customization
A Web2Print Website Built Around your Brand
The B2C Web2Print solution includes a complete website and customer portal. You are not restricted to a fixed layout. The homepage, navigation, banners, and content can be adjusted to suit your business and the type of customers you serve.
We start with a standard framework, so the site is stable and proven. From there, the design is refined with your branding, layout preferences, and content. The result is a Web2Print site that looks professional and feels like your own, not a generic print store.
Unlimited Product Catalog and Flexible Structure
You can create as many products as needed in the B2C Web2Print system. Products can be organized using categories, subcategories, and multiple levels of nesting. This makes it easier for customers to browse, especially when you offer a wide range of print products.
This structure works well for print shops selling business stationery, marketing materials, photo products, apparel, and promotional items.
Pricing Visibility and Access Control
You have full control over how pricing is shown on the website. Prices can be visible to everyone or limited only to logged in users. Some print businesses allow customers to browse products freely but require login before ordering.
These rules can be set based on how you want to sell your products..
Search and Product Discovery
Customers can search for products using keywords, categories, and filters. Advanced search options help users narrow down results when the catalog is large.
To improve the experience further, AI assisted search is being introduced to help users find relevant products faster based on what they are looking for.
Order Online, Save Products, or Request a Quote
Customers can place orders online for products that are clearly defined. They can also save products for later or add items to a quote request if they need more clarification.
When a product cannot be fully defined online, the system converts the request into a quote inside the Print MIS. Once approved, it becomes an order.
Online Design Studio for Customization
The B2C Web2Print solution includes an Online Design Studio. Customers can design or personalize items such as business cards, flyers, t shirts, apparel, and promotional products directly in the browser.
They can see a live preview before placing the order, which helps reduce errors and avoids repeated revisions.
Secure Online Payments
The system integrates with multiple payment gateways. Retail customers can pay online using supported payment methods based on your region and setup.
This makes it easier to accept orders without manual payment handling.
Orders Connected Directly to the Print MIS
All orders placed through the B2C Web2Print website flow directly into the PrintPLANR MIS. Jobs are created automatically with product details, files, quantities, and pricing.
This allows your production team to start work without re-entering data and keeps everything organized in one system.
SEO Ready Website with Optional SEO Services
The B2C Web2Print website is built with a structure that search engines can read easily. Product pages and content can be indexed so your site can appear in search results.
For businesses that want to grow organic traffic, we also offer optional SEO services. These include keyword planning, content support, and on-page optimization to help improve visibility over time.

Use your Existing Website or eCommerce Platform
If you already have a website or an online store and do not want to change it, you can still use PrintPLANR.

PrintPLANR provides APIs and has the technical expertise to connect these platforms with the Print MIS.
Products can be set up and managed in PrintPLANR, while orders placed on your existing website are imported directly into the PrintPLANR MIS as print jobs. Order status updates and fulfillment information can also be sent back to the website, so customers always see the latest status. This allows you to keep your current online presence while managing all print operations from one system.
