To get started, you will fill out our custom storefront account form. This helps us learn more about your business, organization, fundraiser, event, team, or project.

There is a $250 setup fee to get started with a custom storefront account. Payment must be received before we move forward with product selection, design setup, proofs, or storefront creation.

Once your form is submitted and your setup payment is received, our team will review your request and reach out with the next steps.

After your storefront request is reviewed, you can choose up to 25 products from our catalog to include in your custom storefront.

Products may include hats, shirts, cups, bags, and other custom items depending on your needs.

We can also help recommend products based on your audience, budget, timeline, and goals. Product availability, colors, and pricing may vary.

Once your products are selected, we will work on the designs and product mockups for your storefront.

If you already have a logo or artwork, please provide it in a high-quality file format such as PNG, SVG, or Illustrator file.

If you do not have artwork or need help creating a design, design services are available for a $25 design fee.

This fee covers the design setup needed to create your product mockups and prepare your storefront products for proofing.

Once your products and designs are set up, we will send you your product proofs along with a product spreadsheet for review.

This spreadsheet will include the products you chose, your base product pricing, and the final storefront price with your added upcharge. The upcharge allows you to make a profit from each item sold through your custom storefront.

For example, most storefront products are usually upcharged between $5–$10 per item, depending on the product. However, the final upcharge amount is entirely up to you and will be reviewed before your storefront goes live.

You will be able to review the proofs and spreadsheet so you know exactly what products are being listed, what the customer will pay, and what profit amount is built into each item.

Final designs, product details, and pricing must be approved before we move forward with launching your storefront.

Once everything is approved, your storefront will be published on The Lakes Print Shop website.

You will receive a direct link to share with your customers, supporters, employees, team members, or community.

We will also create a social media post for you that includes a QR code linked directly to your storefront, making it easy for people to shop your collection.

Upon request, we can also provide a PDF or printable order form for your storefront.

Customers will place their orders directly through your storefront on our website.

The Lakes Print Shop handles the online ordering process, payment collection, and order details, so you do not have to collect individual orders yourself.

After orders are placed, we will process and produce the items according to the collection details.

Depending on the storefront setup, orders may be processed as they come in or after a set closing date.

Pickup, local delivery within a certain mile range, and shipping options will all be offered for storefront orders.

All custom storefronts include a built-in profit or fundraising amount for each product sold.

Your payout will be calculated based on the approved upcharge amount listed in your product spreadsheet. This means every product in your storefront will have a set profit amount built into the final storefront price.

Profit payouts are issued on the first business day of the new month for any products sold during the previous month.

For example, if products from your storefront are sold in June, your payout would be issued on the first business day of July.

Payout method and details will be confirmed before your storefront goes live.
