Choose the Size and Color of the product.

Enter the Quantity.

Select the Placement (e.g., Front, Back, Left Pocket, Right Pocket, Left Sleeve, Right Sleeve).

Click on Add Design and upload your design from your files.

Finally, click on Add to Order.
Select any Add-ons you wish to include. Please note that add-ons are optional and can enhance your order.

Fill in your order details, including the Order Reference Number, Shipping Type, and any comments.

Complete the shipping details by entering the Payment Mode, and Delivery Pincode, and selecting the Courier Carrier.

If your customer has made the payment to your bank account, you have to select PREPAID under Payment Mode

If your customer has requested to make the payment upon delivery, you need to select CASH ON DELIVERY and enter the amount to be collected from the customer under ORDER VALUE

                                                                  

According to Qikink, all orders require prepayment.

1. Fill in customer details: contact name, contact number, valid email address, shipping address (including door number and landmark), and order value.

Your order value is your retail price or the amount you have charged your customer. 

1. Finally click Save order.
   
2. Your sample order has been successfully placed. You can now view it under Orders > All Orders.

You should maintain sufficient credits in Qikink for a seamless order flow. However, there is no minimum recharge amount required, and you can recharge while placing an order

The order value should be greater than or equal to the invoice value. If the package is lost or damaged in transit, we can only provide compensation based on the order value, as that is the amount we can claim.

For sample orders, opt for prepaid payment methods instead of cash on delivery.
