Print on demand

Sell photo books online without holding stock.

A photo book only exists once your customer has filled it. With Bindl they design it on your site and pay in your checkout, and the print file goes to your printer. Nothing is printed before it is sold.

See how it works

What usually stands in the way

  • Building an editor that handles photos, layouts and print files is a long software project.
  • Reselling a consumer brand puts their name on the book, and the next order goes straight to them.
  • Editor licences are often quoted with a setup fee and a monthly minimum before the first sale.
  • Printing ahead makes no sense for a product that is different for every customer.

How it works with no stock

1. The customer designs the book

In your brand, from your product page, with automatic layouts, cropping and a 3D preview.

2. They pay in your store

Shopify, WooCommerce or Stripe. The price follows the format, the material and the page count.

3. The print file is generated

Every paid order gets a PDF with bleed, built to the print profile you set.

4. Your printer produces it

Your own machines or a lab you work with. You download the files from your dashboard.

5. You pay only on sales

5% excl. VAT of the price of the books, shipping excluded. A month without sales costs nothing.

FAQ
