Setting Up Your Shop
Configure your shop name, branding, pricing profile, and team members in PressOS.
This guide walks you through the initial setup of your PressOS shop — the things you do once to get everything working the way you want.
Step 1: Shop basics
After signing up, go to Settings in your sidebar.
Here you'll set:
- Shop name — what customers see (e.g., "Ink City DTF")
- Logo — appears on your storefront, quotes, and invoices
- Contact info — email, phone, address for customer-facing documents
Step 2: Set up your pricing profile
Go to Pricing in your sidebar. This is where you tell PressOS how to calculate decoration costs.
You'll configure:
- Material costs — ink per sqin, film per sqin, powder per sqin
- Labor cost — your time per sqin (or per job)
- Target margin — what you want to make on top of costs
- Per-square-inch rate — this is what the system uses to auto-price decorations in quotes
Tip: You can always adjust this later. Start with what feels right and refine as you learn your actual costs.
Step 3: Configure your DTF printer specs
Still in Settings, find your Printer Configuration:
- Film width — 13", 22", 24", or custom
- Max sheet length — how long your printer can run
- Default gap — spacing between transfers on gang sheets
This tells GangOS how to size your gang sheets.
Step 4: Invite your team (optional)
If you have employees or partners, go to Settings → Team and invite them by email.
Team members can:
- View and manage orders
- Run production (print, QC, press, ship)
- Build quotes and mockups
- Respond to customer messages
On the Pro plan, you get unlimited team members. Free plan includes up to 2.
Step 5: Connect Square (for payments)
Go to Settings → Billing & Plan and connect your Square account.
This enables:
- Online payment through your storefront
- Invoice payment links in the customer portal
- Automatic order creation when payment clears
You're set up!
Your shop is configured. From here you can:
- Build your storefront with the Site Builder
- Send your first quote to a customer
- Prep artwork in PrepOS
Everything else in PressOS works with these settings — pricing auto-calculates, gang sheets size correctly, and customers see your brand throughout.
