MakeFlow

A production queue for Shopify custom orders.

Customization captured at checkout is scattered across properties, files and emails. MakeFlow flattens paid custom lines into one queue of work packets, so production starts from an instruction rather than from clicking through orders.

Three steps from paid order to released batch.

Customization captured at checkout is scattered across properties, files and emails. MakeFlow flattens paid custom lines into one queue of work packets, so production starts from an instruction rather than from clicking through orders.

MakeFlow reads the line-item properties your store already captures and maps them through a template into a single work packet. Any property the template does not recognise is kept verbatim, so nothing a customer typed is ever dropped.

Jobs that need approval go to a calm, branded proof page. The customer approves or asks for a change, and every version is kept with a timestamp. Approved jobs then group by material, method and colour, so the shop floor runs setups instead of order numbers.

Common questions

Do I still need my product options app?

Yes. Keep capturing customization however you do today; MakeFlow reads what it writes to the order.

What does the operator see?

One packet per item: order, quantity, mapped instructions, artwork, proof state and the batch it belongs to.

Is it a dashboard?

No. The output is a released batch and a printable packet, not a chart.
