Becoming a PTG Partner
How do I become a Pic The Gift Partner?
In order to apply to become a Pic The Gift Partner, you must fill out our Become a Partner form. Once you do, one of our representatives will contact you directly via email. We will ask you some basic questions about your business, and from there will adjust the process to best suit you.
Do you integrate with Etsy, Shopify, etc.?
We use a third-party app called Order Desk to integrate with your Etsy, Shopify and most other E-commerce platforms. We cover the cost of it, so we set up the account for you and then help you get started using it. This service only links your store to us. Unfortunately, you cannot automatically link our items to your store via Order Desk.
What kind of package customization do you offer?
You can create your own packing slip with your company logo, name, promo codes and any additional brand messages you want for free. Please contact Partner Support for more information.
Is a Partner the same thing as a customer?
Yes! Years ago we started calling our customers "Parnters" and it stuck. It reflects the collaborative business relationship we wish to have with those we work with.

Can I add a gift note to my order?
You can add a gift note before you check out, but if you forget to add it, please contact Partner Support. If the order has not entered the shipping process, we will do our best to add it before it ships.
Production
Below are some common questions about production times
How quickly will my order ship?
Our standard production turn-around time is 4 business days maximum. This does not include holidays, weekends, or the day the order was placed. Smaller items or items that require only one imprint may ship out considerably faster than the maximum days, but items that require sewing, double-sided printing, etc. may require the full length of order turnaround time.
Do you offer rush production?
Yes. We offer a two (2) business day turnaround for $19.95 that currently increases production speed from 4 business days down to 2 business days. Please note that the day you place your order is considered day zero (0), and it does not include holidays or weekends.
How do I know if my items are back-ordered?
We do our best to post any out of stock items on ourwebsite immediately. You will be updated by email with any changes to your order. If you wish to purchase an item that is backordered, you will be charged at the time of purchase. Once we have the item back in stock, we will ship it to you.
My item is back-ordered, but I was not notified. What can be done?
If the item in question was not updated on our website or you did not receive an email from us, you have the right to cancel your order and request a refund. You can also exchange the item for a similar one with the same value. If the selected item has a price difference, you will be credited or charged for the difference.
Order Desk
Below are some commonly asked questions about Order Desk
What is Order Desk?
Order Desk is an order management platform that connects your online store to fulfillment providers like Pic The Gift. It automatically imports your orders, routes them to production, and sends tracking information back to your store once they ship.
With integrations for Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and many other ecommerce platforms, Order Desk makes it easy to automate your print-on-demand workflow and scale your business with minimal manual work.
How do I know if Order Desk is right for my business?
Order Desk is a great fit if you're looking to automate your order fulfillment. It's ideal for businesses selling on platforms like Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and other ecommerce marketplaces.
If you process high-volume orders regularly, want to eliminate manual order entry, or sell across multiple sales channels, Order Desk can save time and streamline your workflow.
If you're just getting started or only receive a handful of orders, we would recommend you place orders manually through our website until you're ready to automate.
Do I need Order Desk to work with Pic The Gift?
Not at all. Order Desk is a secondary optional tool that can help automate your order management and fulfillment. You can work with Pic The Gift without using Order Desk, and we would recommend lower volume sellers opt for a wholesale account instead.
How do I get started with Order Desk?
To inquire about the Order Desk account option, please submit a support ticket. Our team can help guide you through the setup process.
Once you have an Order Desk account, you can connect your store and configure it to send orders to Pic The Gift for fulfillment.
What is EBizCharge?
EBizCharge is the secure payment processor we use to process online payments in Order Desk. It allows you to safely pay for your orders using major credit cards, debit cards, or ACH.
