Services

E-commerce systems for the promotional products industry

We build custom e-commerce systems exclusively for the promotional products and branded apparel industry – on TipCMS, our own platform. Each service is described in concrete terms: who it is for, what it includes and what you get after launch.

B2B platforms for importers and wholesalers

A promotional products importer sells through advertising agencies – and needs a system that understands it. On TipCMS, our own platform, we have been building and developing B2B platforms for years, including for Macma and Easy Gifts: with catalogues of thousands of products, branding data, agency pricing and support for multiple markets.

Who it is for: Promotional products importers and wholesalers selling through agencies. Branded apparel and private-label producers with an offer for resellers. Companies operating in several markets that need language and country versions.

Service details Describe your project

What the project includes

  • Product catalogue with colour variants, brands, collections and sets
  • Branding data: methods, print areas, branding price lists
  • Advertising agency accounts with individual terms and a customer area
  • Language and country versions – up to 6 languages in one system in our projects
  • Landing pages, pop-ups, news, catalogues and marketing materials for agencies
  • Data imports from XLS / XML files and bulk updates
  • API and product feeds for distributors
  • Statistics and a panel to manage the whole offer

Shops and catalogues for advertising agencies

An advertising agency sells the offer of a dozen or more wholesalers at once. We build shops on TipCMS that bring those products into a single, consistent catalogue – with your prices, a branding calculator and a quote your client can download straight away.

Who it is for: Advertising agencies and corporate gift distributors. Print and branding companies selling printed promotional products. Shops selling branded apparel and logo products.

  • Catalogue fed automatically from selected wholesalers
  • Your own margins, prices and promotions per product, category or supplier

  • PDF offers and quotes for your clients
  • Search and filters (categories, colours, materials, price), comparison, new arrivals and bestsellers
  • Case study pages, catalogues, newsletter and a CMS to edit content

Promotional products wholesaler integrations

Every wholesaler shares data differently: XML, CSV, XLS or API, each with its own structure of categories, colours and branding options. TipCMS already has working integrations with more than a dozen suppliers and we keep adding new ones – so the offer in your shop updates itself.

Who it is for: Agencies and shops selling products from many wholesalers. Importers who want to share data with partners via API. Companies where updating the offer is still manual work.

  • Product importers from supplier XML, CSV, XLS and API

  • Import of branding price lists and print areas

  • Hiding products discontinued by the supplier
  • Task scheduling and monitoring of synchronisation runs

Branding calculators and PDF quotes

Pricing a logo item means the product, branding, set-up costs, quantity breaks and the client’s discount. In TipCMS we turn that into a calculator that prices instantly and a PDF quote you can send to your client without retyping anything.

Who it is for: Advertising agencies preparing dozens of quotes every week. Importers sharing branding price lists with agencies. Print shops and branded apparel producers.

You know what happens at every stage and what you will get before the next step.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions before we start

Didn’t find your answer? Ask us – we will reply to the point.

Ask a question
Which wholesalers do you integrate with?

Our clients’ systems run integrations with, among others: Macma, Easy Gifts, Axpol, Asgard, PF Concept, Midocean, Makito, Anda, XD Connects, Falk&Ross, Stanley/Stella, Malfini, PAR, JHK, Texet, Impacto and Plastoria. The scope (products, prices, stock, branding, images) depends on the data each wholesaler provides.

Can you connect a wholesaler that isn’t on the list?

Yes. We need access to the supplier’s data – an XML, CSV or XLS file or an API. Based on it we build an importer and map categories, colours and branding to your shop.

What technology do you build on?

We build every platform and shop on TipCMS, our own system developed for years around the needs of the promotional products industry. Many features – catalogue, branding, agency accounts, wholesaler importers – are ready from day one, and we tailor the rest to your process.

Can clients calculate the price of a branded item themselves?

Yes, with a branding calculator. It calculates the price from the branding method, number of colours, quantity and set-up costs, and the result can go into a quote basket or a PDF offer.

Can the system handle different prices for agencies and end customers?

Yes. B2B platforms have agency accounts with individual terms, and agency shops have their own margins and customer price groups.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

It depends on the scope: the number of wholesalers, features (calculator, PDF quotes, customer area), markets and languages. After the brief we prepare a quote with a schedule, and larger projects are split into stages so the most important features go live as early as possible.

Do you support multiple markets and languages?

Yes. Our clients’ websites run in 12 languages in total, and a single platform can have up to 6 language and country versions in one system.

Do you provide hosting and support after launch?

Yes. We provide hosting, technical support and further development of the platforms we have built for you.
