A self-print product stays with your team. Its Production section can show customer-specific output for your team to download. You print, pack, and ship the physical item.
Download the current files
Open the order and find Production. A completed self-print order has a Route of Self-print, and gives you the available PDF and PNG downloads. Select All files to compare every generated output.
Check the dimensions and DPI before printing. If the status is Failed, follow print-file recovery before using Re-render. Editing the product design does not change the order’s saved input.
Mark the item printed
For a self-print order in New or Preparing, the header offers Mark as printed and Mark as shipped.
Select Mark as printed after the physical item is ready. This is an internal milestone. It does not add carrier tracking and does not tell the customer that the parcel has shipped.
If you print and pack in one session, you can skip that separate milestone and use Mark as shipped directly.
Add tracking and ship
Select Mark as shipped to open the shipment form.
Choose the carrier
Pick the carrier used for this parcel. If it is not listed, use the generic option and provide the complete tracking URL yourself.
Enter the tracking number
Add the number exactly as supplied by the carrier. For a known carrier, Composerie can construct its tracking URL.
Review the customer notification switch
Shopify controls whether and when a shipping notification is delivered. Review the switch before submitting the form.
Mark the order shipped
Submit the form. The shipment remains visible on the order. Check the connected storefront before relying on its customer-facing status.
Does Mark as printed email the customer?
No. It only records that your team completed the physical production step.
Can I ship without using Mark as printed first?
Yes. Use Mark as shipped directly when printing and packing happen in one workflow.
Why is the notification switch unavailable?
Shopify controls whether and when a shipping notification is delivered.
Can I send this order to a provider later?
The existing order follows its recorded self-print route. Update the product routing for future orders instead of changing the production authority mid-order.
