The Print on Demand API for Posters, Art Prints and Frames
Three calls from sale to delivered
Quote the price, place the order, read the tracking. Everything else, from saving products to AI-written listings, is there when you want it.
1. Quote
GET /api-get-pricing returns what an order to any country costs, per size, for prints, frames and fine art, with shipping and VAT already worked out. One call, any country.
2. Order
POST /api-create-order with the buyer’s address and the prints, by saved SKU or by a link to the artwork. One call per sale, up to 50 prints, paper, frame and fine art options included.
3. Track
GET /api-get-order gives you the status and, once shipped, the tracking number and courier. Etsy and Shopify orders get their tracking back automatically.
API Integration for Your Business
Our API is built for poster brands, Shopify merchants and online marketplaces that want their whole fulfilment workflow automated. A sale on your side becomes a printed, shipped parcel on ours, with no manual order entry and nothing to stock. It plugs into the storefront you already have, so you can go from ten orders a day to ten thousand without adding overhead. The docs are public and written so that your developers and your AI agents can both work from them.
Everything between the sale and the parcel
Thirteen endpoints, documented with request and response bodies you can copy. Here is what they let you build.
Prices for any country
One call returns current prices per size for prints, frames and fine art, with shipping included in our main markets and the 3+ prints discount applied automatically on orders.
Products and bundles
Save a design once with one SKU and a file per size, and the same file prints as a poster, a framed print or fine art. Group sets of prints under a single bundle SKU.
Orders and tracking
Place orders by SKU or by artwork link, let auto-pay settle them from your wallet, and read status, tracking number and courier back the moment they ship.
Listings with AI writing and mockups
Send artwork links and get Etsy or Shopify listing drafts back with titles, descriptions, tags and mockups written and rendered for you. Review, then publish.
Your Art, Our Infrastructure
Our developer-friendly API plugs directly into your current storefront, turning your fulfilment into a hands-free operation. Whether you're processing ten orders or ten thousand, our infrastructure scales instantly so you can focus on your brand, not your back-office.
Seamless Shopify & Platform Integration
Whether you're on a custom build or a major e-commerce platform, our API bridges the gap between a "Buy" click and a delivered package.
Total White-Label Fulfilment
Your brand is the only one your customers see. No external logos, no third-party packing slips, just your art in their hands.
Same or Next Working Day Production
You send the order data, we take care of the rest. Orders paid before 3pm UK go into production that day, and the UK and Australia dispatch same or next working day.
Effortless Set Up
We’ve stripped away the complexity. Public docs, a quickstart you can run in minutes, and a reference written for developers and AI agents alike, so you can start shipping faster.
Get started now
Sign up free, create your API key in Tools → Developer, and make your first calls in minutes. Your first reads are free, and you only pay when you order.
Global Printing & Fast, Free Shipping
Your users are everywhere and so are we. We print locally in the UK, US, EU, Canada and Australia, and ship worldwide. That means faster delivery, shipping included in our main markets, and no customs fees for your users where we print locally.
Premium Print Quality for Your Creations
Every print goes on our archival Premium paper in matte, satin or gloss, in sizes from A5 to A0 and 5x7 to 28x40 inches. Order the same file as a framed print, or on our Fine Art cotton rag paper for the top end of the market. One product, three ways to sell it.
Why PrintShrimp is Perfect for Your Art
Poster Printing, built by Poster Sellers.
Consistent quality, everywhere
Our prints look the same whether fulfilled in the UK, US, EU, Canada or Australia. Your users get the same experience globally.
Human customer service
We pride ourselves on never using AI customer support. Speak to a human with any issues, every time.
High profit margins
Low production cost, premium selling price. Earn £6–£40 profit per sale, and every print in an order of three or more is 20% off automatically.
Built for AI agents
Our docs are written so an AI agent can run your fulfilment: get a key from you, quote prices, save products, place orders and track them, with the honest limits spelled out.
Questions developers ask us
Is there a sandbox?
No, every key is live. But pricing, template and product calls are free, saving a product costs nothing, and an order is only charged once it’s paid, so the quickstart gets you to a working integration without spending a penny.
How do I pay?
Per order, by card or from your PrintShrimp wallet. Switch on auto-pay and API orders settle themselves from the wallet, so a sale on your site becomes a parcel with no clicks. No monthly fees for printing.
Do you send tracking back?
Yes. The tracking number and courier are added the moment an order leaves production and are returned by the API. Etsy and Shopify orders get their tracking pushed to the marketplace automatically.
Can my AI agent use it?
Yes. The docs are written for agents as much as developers, with the exact requests, responses and limits. You create the account and the API key once; the agent does the rest.
Which countries do you print in?
We print locally in the UK, US, EU, Canada and Australia, and deliver worldwide. Prices and delivery times depend on where the order ships to, and the pricing call gives you both for any country.
What can I order?
Posters and art prints on our Premium paper in matte, satin or gloss, framed prints in Black, White or Oak, and fine art prints on 300gsm cotton rag, in sizes from A5 to A0 and 5x7 to 28x40 inches. Sets ship as bundles under one SKU.
