Works with
Shopify
Elegoo
Google Drive
Saves time
No files renamed, copied or carried to a printer on a USB stick.
Saves money
Fuller plates, and broken customer files stopped before they reach the resin.
On autopilot
Paid orders become print jobs within 15 minutes, with nobody opening a page.
In one look
Feature · what it is
Production tracking for every order line, automatic resin supports, browser plate nesting and slicing, a printer bridge with live status and on-demand webcam frames, mesh checks on every customer file, Custom Print instant quoting and partner routing by ship-to country.
Advantage · why it is better
Orders reach the printer straight from Shopify with nothing re-keyed. Every customer file is checked and repaired before it touches a plate, every plate transfer is verified on arrival, and an hourly check lists any paid order that has no print job.
Benefit · what you get
Fewer people per printer, fewer failed plates and no forgotten orders. The farm grows with your orders while your headcount stays put.
Time back
Supports, file checks, nesting and printer transfers run without anyone at a desk, so your team spends its time on the printers, not the paperwork.

What is inside
Feature
Every paid order line becomes a job, matched by SKU and size to its print file, then moved through Print ready, Backlog, In production and Printed. Kits and bundles expand into one job per part.
Advantage
Jobs are created from Shopify every 15 minutes. Each status change is written to the order as a tag, so your support desk and AI agent can read it.
Benefit
You know where every order is without walking the floor, and so do your customers.
Feature
An hourly check compares Shopify with the queue and lists any paid, unfulfilled line that has no print job.
Advantage
A missed order shows within about two and a half hours, with the cause, and a one-click restore for deleted lines.
Benefit
No order waits until the customer chases it.
Feature
Automatic resin supports in the browser: auto-orientation, pillar lattice, adaptive bases, cross-bracing and suction-cup detection, tuned per scale from 28mm to 75mm, with manual tools for the rest.
Advantage
Supported files save straight to the folder production matches against, and an editable project is kept, so any setup can be reopened and changed.
Benefit
New products reach print ready sooner, without a specialist at a desk.
Feature
Packs the day's print-ready parts onto plates, estimates print time and resin, then slices each plate straight to a .goo file in the browser.
Advantage
Large display pieces get plates of their own, support pads can sit close while the models above never touch, and a plate whose file changed after slicing is flagged before it prints.
Benefit
More parts per plate, fewer plates per day, and no separate slicer to run.
Feature
A small helper on a workshop computer that connects your printers to Storeforge, with live status, layer progress, film wear, storage and webcam snapshots on demand.
Advantage
Plates are sent over the network, checked on arrival and started. Every transfer is recorded with a resend button, and the bridge keeps itself up to date.
Benefit
No USB sticks, no wrong file on the wrong printer, and the whole farm in view from anywhere.
Feature
Every customer upload is checked for open edges, repaired where it can be, and turned away before payment where it cannot.
Advantage
Checks run at four points from upload to plate, plus a nightly sweep of every customer file still in the queue.
Benefit
One bad file never prints a solid bar across a plate of other people's orders.
Feature
Customers upload an STL, stand it up, pick a size and get an instant price worked out on the server, then check out in your normal cart.
Advantage
Supports are generated in the customer's browser from your own published profiles, and the paid job lands in your backlog ready to check.
Benefit
A new revenue line from files you do not sell, with no manual quoting for resin miniatures.
Feature
Set up 13 print technologies, from FDM PLA and SLS nylon to metal and full colour, each with materials, finishes, lead times and rate cards.
Advantage
Each price is built from a rate card, your margin and VAT. Partner quoting and routing for non-resin materials is rolling out.
Benefit
Offer materials you cannot print yourself, at a margin you set.
Feature
Route orders by ship-to country to a partner printer, who signs in to a locked-down portal that holds only their orders.
Advantage
Partners use the same queue and Build Plate, write tracking back to Shopify, and you get a monthly statement with faults and margin per order.
Benefit
Print closer to the buyer without opening the rest of your business to anyone.
Feature
With ShipStation, each EU parcel's customs lines are merged to one per tariff code and country of origin, valued at the price paid.
Advantage
The EU has charged a flat €3 customs duty per item line on low-value parcels since 1 July 2026, so fewer lines means less duty.
Benefit
Lower duty on every multi-item EU parcel, set up once.
How it works
Link Shopify and the Google Drive folders that hold your print files. Order lines are matched to files by SKU and size.
Install the Printer Bridge on a computer on your workshop network. Printers appear with live status and a camera view.
Lines without a supported file wait in Backlog. Support Studio supports them in the browser and sends them back to Print ready.
Build Plate packs the day's parts, slices each plate and sends it to a printer, verified on arrival.
Mark items produced, one at a time or all at once, and each order's status updates in Shopify.
What it is worth
Farms usually combine a desktop slicer, a farm manager and an order-sync tool, and most of those are built for filament printers. Storeforge does all three for resin, connected to your orders.
Compare the whole toolset ›Vendor list prices, checked 12 October 2026. SimplyPrint and Printago list filament printers; resin support is not confirmed.
Proven on our own store
From the We Print Miniatures Storeforge database, 12 October 2026.
The Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra today, over your workshop network. Plates are sliced to a profile checked against a known-good Lychee export for that printer and resin; other machines need their own profiles. A Bambu Lab FDM lane is in development.
Not for plates built in Storeforge. Supports, nesting and slicing all run in the browser.
It is checked and repaired at upload. A file that cannot be repaired is turned away before it is quoted or paid for.
In your own Google Drive. Storeforge matches files by the SKU and size in the file name, and saves supported files back to the same folders.
Partner print bureaus that print and ship each other's cross-border orders locally, to one standard, in plain, unbranded packaging. It is not open yet: we are recruiting founding partners now, and territories open as partners are certified. You can join as a seller or apply as a print partner from the homepage.
A partner signs in with an emailed code and sees only the orders routed to them. They get no prices, no customer emails and no other tabs.
Print Farm is included on every Storeforge plan, alongside every other product. Free to start.
