# Getting Started This page provides the detailed step-by-step manual for setting up your business with OPT OnDemand. Our sales representatives will guide you through the entire process. In case you don't have any associated account manager, send an inquiry to ****. ## 1. Decide on the integration method Depending on your business needs, we will assist you in selecting the most suitable integration method. For standard e-commerce projects, we offer integration with the Shopify platform. For larger projects or ERP system connections, our API is an ideal solution. Alternatively, you can manually import orders via CSV files or utilize third-party software such as OrderDesk. [Integrations & Apps](/integrations-and-apps/rest-api.md) ## 2. Select products from our portfolio An OPT sales representative will guide you through the diverse range of garment and non-garment products, assisting you in building your portfolio. You will be provided with a list of products along with SKUs and agreed prices. ## 3. Add your products to the warehouse In case you want to sell your own products, you can send them to us and we’ll store them in our warehouse. This may include special blank articles you want us to print on, or other products that we will pick, pack, and ship on your behalf. [Fulfilment](/services/fulfilment.md) ## 4. Select production technologies The production technology differs from selected blank articles in the previous steps and the type of design you intend to print. Basic garment articles support more production technologies, and you can decide the most suitable for you. [Print production](/services/print-production.md) ## 5. Create products Now it’s time to define what will be printed and where. We’ll need your print-ready files (the required format depends on the production technology selected in the previous step) along with the desired print placement on the chosen blank article. You can also add metadata to the products and select a template for generating previews. {% hint style="info" %} This step is ideal for all e-commerce projects. For API integration it’s not required — the final product details can be specified at the time the order is submitted. {% endhint %} ## 6. Define the shipping We offer tracked, untracked, and express shipping options globally, partnering with the world's leading delivery companies to ensure reliable service. Chose the most suitable options for you. [Shipping](/services/shipping.md) ## 7. Order processing Everything is now ready to complete the integration. Order processing depends on the type of integration selected in the first step. For detailed information, please refer to the guides for each integration type. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
