How to create a manual order?

Creating a manual order is an easy way to order products directly, even if you don’t have a live store. You can also use it to place sample orders to review your merchandise firsthand. This article provides a step-by-step guide to help you create and manage manual orders efficiently.

  1. Log into your merchOne account. In the dashboard, click the Create Order button in the upper right corner.

  3. Choose a product you would like to design. To add a new product, click Start Design and then choose a product to design, for example a canvas.
  4. After selecting a product, you'll be taken to the configurator. Here, you can either upload a pre-made design and adjust it to fit the product or create a new one using our built-in AI tool. You can also add multiple product sizes, use the same or different designs, adjust background colors, and add a hanger set if needed. Customize your design further using photo editing tools and text layers on the left panel.

    Click View prices in the upper right corner to see costs for the selected product's size variants.

    Note: For canvas, if you want a shadow gap frame, please choose the framed canvas when selecting the product to design.
  5. After completing the design, click Create product in the upper right corner and then Confirm. The next step allows adjusting the product description and setting the prices for your store. If no changes needed, then click Confirm & Save and then Save & Continue to Order or Save to store.
