Bundle 30 days of ShopStart with every printer sale. Your sales team gets a stronger package, the buyer gets a system for the business around the printer, and your dealership stays connected after installation day.
You sell the equipment. ShopStart helps the customer turn that equipment into a working business. If the customer keeps ShopStart after the trial, the originating dealer stays attributed to the account and earns the partner share defined in the dealer agreement.
The buyer may know design, printing or installation. What often gets messy is pricing, quoting, customer follow-up, production, collections and knowing whether the work made money. That business gap is an opportunity for the dealer to add real value.
When competing dealers can sell similar equipment, the conversation gets pulled back toward price, financing and availability.
Owning the machine does not automatically solve what to charge, how to quote, how to run production or how to collect money.
The sale can end after delivery even though a healthier customer is more likely to stay in business, buy supplies and need more equipment.
The dealer should not become a software administrator. The portal exists to enroll the customer, see the launch status, and understand the dealer's attributed revenue.
Position the printer as the production tool and ShopStart as the operating system around it. The customer receives 30 days to run real work through the system.
The buyer gets the activation path and finishes its own shop setup. The customer securely adds its own payment method during activation; the ShopStart subscription remains $0 during the 30-day trial and billing begins only if the customer continues. The dealer does not configure the customer's pricing, products or private business records.
The dealer portal tracks trials, onboarding status, paid conversions and partner earnings without exposing the customer's private shop financials.
ShopStart gives the equipment sale a business outcome - not another spec-sheet bullet.
These product screens complete the dealer story: price and sell the job, run production, then know what the business is doing. The customer can use its own numbers or start from ShopStart's built-in operating structure.
Customer, job, pricing, deposit and expected profit stay together instead of starting from a blank spreadsheet.
Production sees what to make, what is urgent, who owns it, when it is due and what is blocking the job.
The owner sees sales, profit, cash, A/R, production issues and next actions without hunting through disconnected reports.
ShopStart is designed to support the relationship after equipment delivery without turning the dealer into the customer's back-office staff.
The dealer portal keeps the relationship visible without opening the customer's private operating data.
The program is valuable because the dealer can stay focused on equipment sales and customer relationships.
Tell us who you are and what equipment you sell. PLS reviews the dealership before a dealer portal account is created, so attribution and commission terms are established correctly from the beginning.
