When would Manual Orders be a good option?

Manual Orders could be a good solution for you if you are just getting started with the POD business and want to order some sample products. You may also be using an ecommerce platform we do not currently offer direct integration for or run an offline business. It could also be a good option if your online store does not currently handle a large volume of orders and you are comfortable with manually placing an order with us when you receive an order from your end customer.

Once you are comfortable with using Gelato after placing your first test orders, we encourage you to integrate your online store with Gelato with our dedicated integrations:
