On PrintHub, the order process is automatic so you don't have to worry about handling them manually and can instead focus on optimizing your business.
On ShopBase admin site, go to Apps > PrintHub > Fulfillment where you will find all orders your customers have paid for. They are automatically synced from the store to PrintHub with all the orders being listed in All tab.
In case you need more time to confirm your order, you can put the order On Hold (on the On Hold tab). You can only set a pause for unpaid orders because paid orders have been sent to PrintHub's suppliers for production and cannot be halted. To pause the order, find the order, and select Action > Hold.
In case there are errors, the order status will be changed to In Review (in the In Review tab). Eligible orders will be moved to Awaiting payment (listed in the tab Awaiting payment) and wait for you to confirm payment to the suppliers.
For orders with personalized items created from PrintHub:
If an order includes both personalized item(s) and non-personalized item(s), it will initially have In Review status.
After the items are reviewed and approved by PrintHub team, the order will be moved to Awaiting payment for you to confirm payment to the suppliers.
If the personalized item is cancelled during the In review process, the order will continue be in process without the personalized item and be automatically moved to Awaiting payment tab.
Orders containing personalized items created by PrintHub will no longer be charged twice, and shipping costs will be reduced.
Please refer to section D on how to pay your PrintHub orders.
You can only cancel/update an order (resize, color, etc.) within 12 hours after it is placed with the suppliers.
If the payment is failed to charge, the amount will accumulate in Payments > Payment history > Outstanding balance. Unsuccessful payments will be immediately retried by PrintHub. If a payment fails three times, the payment status is changed to Failed and you are required to pay manually.
All successfully paid orders will be updated from Awaiting payment to Awaiting Shipment which means PrintHub is pending orders to be printed and shipped to the customer. These orders will be listed in the Awaiting Shipment tab. Once the order is shipped to the customer by PrintHub's suppliers, the status of the order will be updated to Fulfilled (listed in the Fulfilled tab) with a shipping tracker (tracking code).
Once your order is updated with tracking code, it takes about 1-2 days for the tracking code to work and track your shipment.
For orders fulfilled by PrintHub, please do not mark them as fulfilled or add a tracking number to avoid disrupting the fulfillment process. Tracking numbers for PrintHub orders will automatically be added once available.

For PrintHub orders that cannot be processed due to missing or incorrect information from the Seller, PrintHub will contact the Seller through email or Live Chat to request more information. If the Seller does not respond within 48 hours, PrintHub will cancel the order and fully refund the Seller.
If an order's line items cannot be shipped because the address is in one of the restricted ship-to countries/regions, the status will be changed to "In review" with one of the following error messages:
These line items don't ship to the customer's location: The line item is not available for shipment to the customer's address. In this case, you can change the order's line item, address, or cancel the order.
Shipping is not available for the customer's location: The address provided by the customer cannot be shipped to. In this case, you can either change the customer's address or cancel the order.
