TemplateCloud API Global Launch

We’re excited to announce the launch of the TemplateCloud API in 12 countries and 9 languages. The TemplateCloud API allows online print shops and entrepreneurs like you to add thousands of designer templates to your existing website. You choose which designs to sell from a range of print items like business cards, flyers and postcards. By embedding our advanced editor into your site, your client can personalise the design, upload photos or browse 14 million free images. When your client checks out, we make a print-ready PDF automatically for you to print on your own presses or send to a supplier.

It’s easy to integrate and low-cost, packages start from £695 up front and £99 a month.

All TemplateCloud designs are crowd-sourced from our community of real designers. Designers use Adobe InDesign to build their template – no plugins required. They upload their finished file to TemplateCloud.com and our automatic process converts their design into an online editable template in minutes. Designs that sell best have industry-specific marketing copy and striking images, so we encourage designers to invest time in each piece.

Each time their design is sold, we pay the designer a royalty – even if we translate it into a different language. Some of our top designers have already earned more than £5,000.

To date, TemplateCloud offers 10,000 templates and counting, giving your client unrivalled creative choice. The belief is simple: by providing lots of options, coupled with easy editing, the likelihood that visitors to your website will find a design that is right for their business is greatly increased, and that means more print jobs for you.

We’re now accepting submissions from designers in the United Kingdom, Republic Of Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia and the USA. In April we’ll launch in Sweden, Italy and Portugal. A designer from Ireland can upload their design to the cloud and have it translated into French or Dutch automatically and be selling in a country they’ve never visited, and in a language they don’t speak.

Following an extensive private beta, we’re now opening the TemplateCloud API to general availability and are inviting entrepreneurs who want to add online design capabilities to their site to register for developer documentation here.
