Your first job
Here’s the whole loop, start to finish. Do it once and the rest of ManagePrint clicks into place.
Add a customer
Go to Customers and add the person or company you’re printing for. Name is all you need; email and phone help later when you send the quote and the payment link. See Customers.
Build a quote
Open Quotes → New quote. Pick the customer, then add line items: the product, the sizes and quantities, any print locations, and fees. Attach a mockup so the customer knows exactly what they’re approving. See Creating a quote.
Send it for approval
Send the customer a link. They review the quote and approve it in two taps, with an e-signature. No login, no PDF. See Sending for approval.
Approval creates the invoice and the job
The moment the customer approves, ManagePrint does three things at once: marks the quote approved, generates an invoice with every line item copied over, and generates a job that lands on your production board as pending. You re-key nothing. This split is the heart of the platform, explained in The job lifecycle.
Produce the work
The job moves through your production stages one tap at a time: prep, approval, on the press, done. Assign it a date and a worker on the schedule, and your team advances it from any device. See Jobs & production.
Get paid
Send the customer their payment link. They pay a deposit or the full amount through Stripe, and the invoice’s payment status updates on its own. See Payments.
Every stage change is timestamped, so the moment you start running real work, your dashboard and analytics fill in by themselves. No timesheets.
That’s the loop
Quote, approve, produce, get paid. Everything else in ManagePrint, from custom statuses to storefronts to QuickBooks sync, hangs off this core.
