Show Notes 01:58 - T-Shirts 101 T-Shirts are cool I sold 100 right away to get the kinks out Then I did pre-order The stack TypeScript React Next.js 09:08 - Selling: Front-end Snipcart It’s a button When Someone buys, they scrape the site for the HTML If you only have a client-side rendered button, you use the JSON API instead Integrated into Gatsby pretty easily Wrote one custom hook to count inventory and disable when sold out I thought Snipcart would be enough, but I soon realized it wasn’t. I needed something to fulfill the shipment. 10:10 - Selling: Shipping Quotes Snipcart has integration for USPS, etc. You can also do custom shippers It’s a webhook They also take care of customs declaration 13:30 - Selling: Backend Next.js Dashboard Integrate with ChitChats, Stallion Express, and SnipCart. The tech Shipping Labels Packing slip 18:05 - Fulfilling Printing labels Designed with CSS + React Print CSS is wild Fan Fold labels were way better I switched to Stallion Express Cheaper Printing packing slips Batch scanning Scanning → Mark as shipped Started with webcam Bought scanner for cheap QR code was better because my tokens were long Data matrix is often better Sending notifications Hit the endpoint via Snipcart 28:48 - The physical part T-Shirts printed from local supplier U-Haul to get them here Bags printed in China (about 40 cents each) I wrote a bunch of code to organize by size This cut down on moving around (14 hours if you save 30 seconds per shirt) Some got stickers Multiples were the hardest 24 different types of shirts some wanted 4xl some wanted tall 36:30 - Common questions Why did you do this yourself? Fun project I learned a ton This is how you don’t burn out Why not print-on-demand? (DTG) Tonal Embroidery Quality Money Pay people in my community Control Bags, stickers, etc… stickermule Why not $companyThatHandlesIt I want to do stickers I want to do decks Why not Shopify Large orders still need major fulfillment strategies Code has to be written or money spent 44:16 - Other lessons learned Queues would be good here Sometimes you had to wait 3+ seconds for the confirmation of shipping No one reads, it was pre-order Don’t buy shipping right away — people email about incorrect addresses Over-order by a few each (out of 1550 orders, five got partial refunds and three got full refunds) Pre-order is great because you can offer many sizes Async JS to do things at most 50 at a time Links Wyze Plug ××× SIIIIICK ××× PIIIICKS ××× Scott: Pixeleyes AutoMounter Wes: Baratza Encore Conical Burr Coffee Grinder Shameless Plugs Scott: Level 2 Node Authentication - Sign up for the year and save 25%!
