Adding the Production Tab

You will find the Production Tab on your top menu. If the tab does not appear, please reach out to our Customer Care Team so we can activate it for you. 

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.

Here, you can download our complete Production Guide. Please contact our support team with any questions you might have on the production tab.
