Printed near your buyer, not shipped across the world.
Gelato Sync connects your OpoShop store to your own Gelato account. Put your artwork on a blank, set your price, and every order is produced in a facility in the buyer’s own country — domestic delivery speed, no customs, no import fees, and nothing to hold in stock.
Built for OpoShop · printed by Gelato, in the country your buyer lives in
Why Gelato Sync
The whole point: it prints where your buyer is.
Most print-on-demand ships one parcel a very long way. Gelato has production partners in more than thirty countries, so a shirt bought in Munich is printed in Germany and a poster bought in Sydney is printed in Australia. Gelato Sync is the bridge that makes your OpoShop store use it.
Local production, everywhere
Gelato routes each order to a partner in the buyer’s own country. That means domestic shipping times, no customs delays, and no import fee landing on your customer.
Your artwork on real blanks
Browse Gelato’s catalog — apparel, posters, mugs, cards, wall art — drop your print file on the areas you want, and it becomes a product in your store.
Fulfilment that runs itself
A paid order becomes a Gelato order, Gelato prints and ships, and the tracking is pushed back into OpoShop — which fires your buyer’s shipping email for you.
It checks before it prints
Missing artwork, an incomplete address, a country Gelato can’t produce for, or a cost that jumped past your limit — the order is held for you instead of being printed wrong.
Your account, your money
Gelato Sync orders on your Gelato account, so you’re charged directly at your own rates. We never take a cut and never hold your funds.
Drivable by AI
Point an AI assistant at Gelato Sync and ask it, in plain English, to import a product, check what’s held, or fulfil the rest of today’s orders. Everything you can click, it can do for you.
How it works
Three steps, then it runs on its own.
Connect your Gelato account
Install from OpoShop and paste your Gelato API key. Gelato Sync checks it against Gelato on the spot and stores it encrypted. It’s your account, so your pricing and your payment method.
Put your artwork on a blank
Pick a product, choose the sizes and colours you want to sell, upload your print file, and set a price. Gelato Sync shows you what Gelato charges and what you keep before you commit.
Let orders fulfil themselves
When someone buys, Gelato Sync orders it from Gelato, Gelato prints it in your buyer’s country, and the tracking lands back in OpoShop with the order marked shipped.
Money safety
It checks the order before it prints anything.
A print job is irreversible — once it’s on the shirt, it’s on the shirt. So Gelato Sync runs every check first, and it verifies that what it is about to send Gelato is exactly what it decided to send: the right blank, the right artwork, the right address. If anything is off, the order waits for you with the reason spelled out.
- ✓ One order in, exactly one Gelato order out — never a double print
- ✓ Missing artwork or a bad address holds instead of printing
- ✓ Live ordering ships switched off, so you can watch it run first
For you
One screen that answers “is my store shipping?”
A live pipeline shows exactly where every order sits — waiting on you, held, at Gelato, or shipped — with the reason for every hold and one click to fulfil the rest. Run it on review, fully automatic, or automatic with a kill switch.
Local production
Where your orders actually get made.
Gelato’s production network spans more than thirty countries. Gelato Sync doesn’t pick a warehouse for you — Gelato routes each order to a partner near the delivery address, which is why the parcel arrives like a domestic one.
North America
An order to Chicago is printed in the US and travels a few hundred miles, not a few thousand — so it lands in days and never sits in customs.
Europe & the UK
The gap most POD apps leave open. A German buyer’s order is produced in Germany, so there is no cross-border VAT surprise and no import fee at the door.
Australia, Japan & beyond
Markets that are painful to serve from a US printer become ordinary domestic orders — which is what makes them worth selling into at all.
