Set up Gang Sheets for a client

Before you start

• A staff or collaborator account on the client's shop that can install apps. If yours can't, the shop owner installs the app and you do the rest.
• The client's film width, and whether they sell sheets by length or in fixed sizes.
• The client's agreement to our terms for shops. Installing the app accepts them for the client's business, so send them to the client first. They include the data processing agreement for the print files the app stores.

Install the app

1. The app is with Shopify for review. Once Shopify approves it, we link it on the For shops page, and you install it from the client's Shopify admin.
2. Shopify lists the permissions: read and write orders, and the app proxy. Orders let the app attach each print file to the order that paid for it. The app proxy opens the builder on the shop's own web address.
3. Approve the install. The app opens with “Set up Gang Sheets”, a list of the set-up steps.

Set up the product and the button

1. Create the gang sheet product. To sell by length, give it one variant priced for one unit of length, such as 10 cm. To sell fixed sizes, give it one variant for each size, with the size in the variant name, such as “58 cm x 1 m”.
2. In the theme editor, open the product template the gang sheet product uses, add the “Gang sheet button” block and save.
3. If the client already sells gang sheets with another app, use “Moving from another gang sheet app” on the app's home page. It reads a product export and shows each size before anything is saved.

Settings to check

Open the app, then Settings. The starting values suit 56 cm DTF film. Check each of these with the client:

• Film width (starts at 56 cm): The full width of the client's film, from 20 cm to 160 cm.
• Units (starts at Centimetres): Centimetres or inches, as the client's customers measure.
• Spacing between designs (starts at 5 mm): The gap the client leaves for cutting.
• Edge margin (starts at 5 mm): The gap the client's printer needs at each edge of the film.
• Minimum length (starts at 50 cm): The shortest sheet the client charges for.
• How you sell gang sheets (starts at By length): By length, or fixed sizes. It must match the product.
• Length of one unit (starts at 10 cm): The length one unit of the product's price buys.
• Print file format (starts at PNG at 300 DPI): PNG or PDF, whichever the client's print software opens.
• DPI warning level (starts at 250): Designs below it get a warning. The warning does not stop the order.
• Sticker products (starts at None): Products the client sells as sticker sheets, which get cut lines.

“Check my set-up”, on the app's home page, lists anything that still needs a change and links to where you change it. It changes nothing itself.

Test it before you hand over

1. Open the gang sheet product in the shop and press the button.
2. Add two or three designs, check the preview and approve it.
3. Add the sheet to the basket and place a test order.
4. In the app, find the sheet in the Print queue under “To print”. Download the file and check it opens at the right size.

What to tell the client

• Print files are in the app's Print queue, and on each order in the “Gang sheet print files” field.
• We delete each print file 14 days after upload, so the client downloads it before then.
• The app's admin pages and the builder are in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch and Italian. The help pages are in English.
• The app doesn't receive customers' names, email addresses or postal addresses. Our privacy notice says what it keeps and for how long.

Help and support

The app's help pages open from the Help link in the app, in a new tab. They cover set-up, moving from another app, UV DTF sheets, the free tier and its limits, files and data, and common messages and what they mean.
