A lightweight mobile dashboard for print-on-demand sellers to check orders and fulfillment status when the vendor's own app is down.
Smallest version- Connect to Shopify store orders via API
- Show order and fulfillment status list
- Push alerts for new or failed orders
Works independently of the vendor's crashing app, but it depends on API access that the lines do not confirm.

- This looks like a vendor bug that a Printify update will likely fix soon
- Evidence covers one tool and mostly one recent version, so the pain may be temporary
- Printify's API access and the features merchants need on mobile are unconfirmed
- Check whether Printify's App Store reviews show the crash persisting beyond early October
- Post in POD seller communities on Reddit and Facebook asking what they do on mobile when the app fails
- Message a few Printify merchants to ask which app features they actually need on the phone
Shopify print-on-demand sellers using the Printify app report it crashes immediately on opening, even after reinstalling or updating, and they want a stable app they can actually use.
Numbers
