The green arrows depict the flow of orders and the blue arrows depict the flow of product.
| HUB/Vendor | A Hub/Vendor is the same as a HUB (see HUB below) but also does printing fulfillment for the Print Vendor Network. Vendors must be in-house producers of the product they offer to the network. |
| HUB | Hubs are master storefronts that have Auto-Push and Manual-Push storefronts beneath them. HUBs have their own storefront and can process orders. They can broker, print or send to the print vendor network. |
| Manual-Push Storefront | All orders are processed using their own merchant license and gateway. All orders stop at the storefront management giving the option to print the order themselves, send an order to their own vendor or PUSH the order to their HUB. Learn more about the features and pricing of a Manual-Push Storefront here. |
| Auto-Push Storefront |
All orders are processed using the HUB's merchant license and gateway. All orders are automatically pushed to the HUB for fulfillment. Learn more about what you get with an Auto-Push Storefront here. |

Here are just some of the features that are included with Printing In A Box Web-to-Print Software.
The Vendor Network is made up of HUBs throughout the US that offer the products available in the global product catalog. Orders pushed to the network are automatically directed to the vendor that offers that product in the closest proximity to the client. This helps in reducing both shipping times and costs. Join our Vendor Network as a Hub
Hubs may also be vendors. A vendor is a HUB that has met the required criteria for product quality, pricing, turnaround and packaging. HUB/Vendors will receive orders that are pushed from other HUBs to be fulfilled and then blind drop-shipped directly back to client. Sign up for our Hub / Vendor License Here.
The Hub Master License permits you to deploy your own storefronts that sell for you, with orders coming directly from Auto-Push and Manual Push storefronts. Jobs coming to the HUB must be moved by HUB operators through production by either doing the fulfillment on their own, sending the job to their vendors or sending it to the Print Vendor Network.

With the Manual-Push license, orders stop at the storefront level where the operator of the storefront can decide whether to print the job themselves, send the job to a vendor of their choosing or PUSH the job to their HUB. The HUB can then either fulfill the job or send it to the Print Vendor Network. If the Manual Push storefront is fulfilling the job on its own or sending it to their own vendor, they are responsible for the order status changes and system notifications with that client. If the order is pushed to the HUB the job is automatically moved through production, blind drop-shipped back to the client, all statuses are marked and customer notifications are then sent.

With the Auto-Push license, all orders placed through the storefront are fulfilled by the HUB or Print Vendor Network and orders are moved automatically through the system. They go directly into production and are then blind drop-shipped back to the client. All order statuses are marked and customer notifications are then sent.
