Multiple easy-to-manage stores

Create multiple online shops, each targeting a specific customer or market, or offering a certain type of product. Get that competitive advantage by opting for the cost-effective solution that is Apogee StoreFront.

Managing your shops, maintaining an overview of your product offerings, keeping track of orders – with just one glance at Apogee StoreFront’s intuitive dashboard, you’ll be up to date. As it’s easy to work with, there are no extra staff investments needed.

Powerful Online Editor

Apogee StoreFront’s Online Editor enables print buyers to customize documents online. This comes in handy for business cards, data sheets and newsletters. And of course for entire brochures, catalogs and posters. Even non-print gadgets can be customized, such as a box of pens or t-shirts. While the occasional user only needs to fill in a form to personalize a business card or stationery, demanding buyers will be delighted by the advanced editing features for the creation of rich multi-page publications.
