Add web-to-print to Magento and Adobe Commerce
Embed PrintNow's design editor in Magento product pages without an extension to install or upgrade. Live pricing, automatic order routing, and full B2B catalog support — works with Open Source, Adobe Commerce, and Commerce Cloud.
The Magento print problem
Magento powers serious commerce. It wasn’t built for serious print.
Configurable products handle a handful of variants. Print needs hundreds. And every Magento upgrade cycle puts your web-to-print extension at risk — M1 to M2, M2 to Adobe Commerce. The pattern repeats.
Configurable products can't model print
Magento's configurable product model handles a handful of attribute combinations well. Print needs hundreds — paper × finish × size × quantity × sides. The catalog explodes, the storefront slows, and the pricing logic still doesn't fit.
Extension upgrade cycles burn time
M1 to M2. M2 to Adobe Commerce. Each major Magento version breaks half the extensions in your stack. Web-to-print extensions tied to a specific Magento release become a recurring migration project, not a one-time install.
Manual production handoff
After a Magento order completes, design files end up in shared drives, print specs get re-keyed into your MIS, and approvals go through email. Each Magento order takes 8 manual steps before a press starts.
The PrintNow + Magento model
Connect by API. Skip the extension.
PrintNow connects to Magento through standard REST and GraphQL APIs — not as a Composer module that runs inside your store. That keeps the print engine independent of your Magento upgrade path, while still respecting your B2B catalogs, customer pricing rules, and checkout flow.
Embed the editor in any Magento theme
PrintNow's editor drops into Magento product pages via block reference or template snippet. Works on Magento Open Source, Adobe Commerce, and Commerce Cloud — and keeps working through version migrations because it's not tied to your Magento codebase.
Live pricing via REST + GraphQL
PrintNow's pricing engine calculates per-job prices for any configuration via API. The result lands in the Magento cart line item — no configurable product explosion, no PHP customization, no catalog bloat.
Orders sync via webhooks
Magento's sales_order_place_after event delivers each order to PrintNow with print-ready files, design metadata, and any custom checkout fields. Orders route automatically into Presswise, OneFlow, SiteFlow, or PrintNow's Unified Admin.
How the integration works
Four steps from product template to production.
Add the PrintNow embed to a Magento product
Drop a block reference into your Magento product template (.phtml or page builder block). Configure which storefront and product template loads — business cards, brochures, signage, packaging, custom products — and PrintNow handles the rest.
Customers personalize inside Magento
On a configurable print product, customers see the PrintNow editor instead of a basic add-to-cart form. They customize text, upload artwork, choose paper and finish, and watch live pricing update in real time — without ever leaving your Magento storefront.
Cart and checkout stay Magento
When the customer adds to cart, PrintNow writes the design metadata and final calculated price to the Magento cart line item via API. Your existing Magento checkout, payment methods, B2B pricing rules, and tax setup continue to work unchanged.
Orders flow to PrintNow for production
sales_order_place_after delivers the completed order to PrintNow with the design files attached. PrintNow routes orders into your MIS or Unified Admin for production. Status updates flow back to Magento via the order API for customer tracking.
