The Brick Factory: Selling on Shopify

The Brick Factory was designed and developed by leading e-commerce development company Brickweb as a way for print on demand companies to maximise the potential of their business. As a real-time, turnkey business automation tool, The Brick Factory can be seamlessly integrated with major e-commerce platforms like Etsy, Amazon, eBay, TikTok and many more. Another one of these platforms is Shopify, which is the subject of this edition of the Brickweb blog. 

Shopify was established in Canada in 2006 by Scott Lake and Tobias Lütke. After the pair attempted to open an online store to sell snowboarding equipment, they soon found that they were totally unsatisfied by the e-commerce products available at the time. Frustrated with his experience, computer programmer Lütke decided to build his own. Shopify was born. The platform was an instant success and has experienced continual growth since it was founded.

The Brick Factory is a cloud-based portal that allows print on demand companies to manage every aspect of their merchandising factory in real time from any device. E-commerce stores can be populated with products from thousands of supplier databases; these products can then be customised by the seller or their customers using a powerful Design Studio before being drop-shipped.
