Ok so we receive custom (personalised) orders on Amazon and looking for ways of speeding up our pipeline.
We use Royal Mail click and drop which integrates with seller central, pulling down our orders nicely to create labels etc. Works great.
Scenario: We receive an order for 10 product items, each item has a few difffering customised elements, eg let’s say for simplicity a photo, and a name. These elements are in the same place on each product item. Currently we go into each order on seller central and manually pull down the data for each order and each of it’s items, which seems unnecessarily slow.
What we’d like is something similar to Royal Mail which integrates, pulls down all orders, and grabs the customisation data for each order. Ideally, we’d then have a template page which this data (photo, name) populates, and then, editing functionality allows us to tweak/resize, change fonts etc.
This seems fairly straightforward and doable but I haven’t found anything or know where to look or ask, so I’m trying here!
I don’t know whether the zip file you can download for each customised item within an order is usable. And I don’t know if something already exisits to achieve what we want, or whether we’d likely be looking at paying a software company to build something (which would probably be expensive).
Grateful if anyone has any knowledge on this! @Kika I think you sell some personalised products? Any insight?
You should definitely create a custom tool. Recently, I have been thinking about creating various tools, because the amount of monthly subscription tools I am currently paying for (and barely using) is insane. I would like to have everything in one.
I have a friend @Robert_Capla who is an amazing programmer. I will reach out to him with your feedback.
There are some potential solutions. You could explore third-party tools like Order Desk or ShopVio, which integrate with Amazon Custom to pull order data and customizations into templates. These tools might also allow basic automation or exporting data into design software like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. If no existing tool fully meets your needs, as @Kika says, hiring a developer to create a custom integration using the Amazon Selling Partner API (SP-API) could be a worthwhile investment.
