Studio Settings
Initial set up is quick and painless and you can find all of the required steps in this article.
Add Your Branding
Click on the Branding section under your Studio Settings and customize the look of all your shared links.
Confirm your studio name and upload your logo.
Select an accent color to go with your logo.
Confirm the Business name you want added to card designs. Click Save + Continue when you're done.
Pricing + Products
Next you will select your paper offerings and set your pricing markup. We recommend a minimum markup of 100%. Head to the Products + Pricing section of your Studio Settings.
To sell cards with a profit, enter your preferred Percentage Upcharge in this field and see the details reflected on the right.
Curate your paper selection and click Save + Continue to complete.
Payments
To sell cards to your client through a shared link, you are required to set up a Stripe account to handle transactions. Stripe is a safe and secure system that collects payment from your client, distributes the cost of goods to WHCC, and then delivers the profit directly to your bank account or debit card. To connect an existing Stripe account or set up a new one, head to the Payments section of your Studio Settings.
Project Settings
Now its time to make a project, assign a collection of cards, and share a link with your client. Go to My Projects and select the project you want to work on, or if you don't have a project yet, make one.
Once inside a project you will see Project Settings. This is where you will assign your preferred collection of cards and get your shared link.
