I was wondering how can I sell Shapeways products on my website, or etsy for example.
For websites, I know about the Shapeways widget, however sometimes designers need to keep the customer on our site and not redirect him to Shapeways forcing him to register and buy the product there.
Recently, I 've set up an e-shop featuring designs that I produce on Shapeways. On that site I accept PayPal payments (I can accept credit cards as well if I want).
Now here is my question: How can I sell from my website and send the product directly to the customer from Shapeways while discarding the Shapeways receipt?
Once a customer visits my site and purchases a product, I want to be able to do the following:
1. Login to my Shapeways shop and order the product
2. Send it to my customer's address directly from Shapeways (the address that he/she submitted upon registration on my site)
3. Add a gift wrap option
4. Discard the price/receipt from Shapeways (since my customer has already paid the additional markup on my site, and not only the base cost of the product that I paid in order to send the product from my Shapeways shop account to the customer)
5. Shapeways sends the gift-wrapped product to my customer and discards the price/receipt.
Also, what about sending the product to a different country?
I know that keeping items in stock and ship them myself could be a solution, however I can't keep all of my items and their combination in sizes/colors/materials in stock.
There are many e-shops out there selling jewelry, gadgets and accessories, and I could contribute to many of those and sell trough their websites (when I sell a product, that means Shapeways sells too), but what about the issues mentioned above?
Any help on this would be great
