Print Science announces the launch of Designer plugin for Prestashop. offering Design Online (Web-to-Print) functions that can be integrated directly into a Prestashop storefront.

The Designer is intended for those websites selling printed items such as greeting cards, calendars, invitations and banners that want to offer customers the ability personalize their item prior to printing. Many of these stores use open-source shopping carts and can integrate the Designer into their shopping cart.

The Design Online session is launched from the shopping cart via an API call to Print Science's Designer servers. The Design Online process takes place inside an HTML5/javascript application running in the customer's browser. After the customer completes the Design Online process, the customer returns to the shopping cart for checkout and the Designer server creates a new, high-resolution PDF file that the store owner can download and print.

“Up until now, if you wanted real Design Online abilities, you had to purchase a complete Web-to-Print solution which was both complex and beyond the reach of many small shop owners.” says John Weissberg, President of Print Science. “With the Designer plugin for Prestashop, we made Design Online functions available at a very low cost to shop owners using Prestashop, one of the world's most-popular shopping carts.”
