So far in this series we’ve introduced the PI Printers Affiliate Program and walked through exactly how it works. This week, let’s talk about why it’s worth your time — and where it fits if you’re running a WooCommerce or Shopify store.
The Business Case
- No stock, no upfront cost. You never buy inventory, blank garments, or ink — you only ever sell what’s already been ordered and paid for.
- No minimum order quantities. List one design or a hundred. There’s no minimum to get started or to keep going.
- Real production, under one roof. Every order is printed using our in-house DTF, UV-DTF, sublimation, silk screen, embroidery, and laser engraving capabilities — not outsourced to a third party.
- You keep the mark-up. You set your price above our cost price, and that difference is yours on every single sale, every time.
- It fits alongside what you already sell. Add branded merch as a new product line on your existing site — there’s no need to build or manage a separate store.
- Reach beyond your own backyard. We deliver locally, across the rest of Africa, and internationally, so your customer base isn’t limited by where our factory is.
Which Platforms Can Join — And When
To be clear on where things stand today: the Affiliate Program is live right now for WooCommerce websites. If your site runs on WooCommerce, you can apply and start listing branded products this week — there’s nothing to wait for.
If you run your store on Shopify, the program isn’t live for you just yet — we’re actively building the Shopify version now, and we expect it to launch within the next couple of months. You don’t need to wait to get in touch, though: register your interest today using the details below, and we’ll make sure you’re one of the first to know the moment Shopify integration opens up.
A Real-World Way to Think About It
Picture your website today, and picture it with a “Shop Our Merch” section added — stocked with products carrying your own branding, priced by you, and fulfilled entirely by us. No extra stock room. No extra staff. No extra risk. Just a new revenue stream sitting on top of the audience you’ve already built.
