I'm interested in using Lulu to let my users order unique prints from my site, and looking for the best way to do that. Dyslexic Character Sheets lets users create personalised character sheets for D&D. The number of different options you can combine mean that every character sheet is unique - no two people will get the same thing. I'd like to offer print-on-demand as an option. I know that Lulu API lets me deliver a unique print job every time. However, I'd also prefer if some other site/service could do all the billing, address collection etc for me. I'm not a company, just a guy, and I know a few of the pitfalls of handling both people's money and their personal info - especially in Europe. Since I expect the volume to be low, I'd prefer not to handle all that myself. Lulu xPress allows you to use Shopify as a storefront, but only for pre-made books, not unique prints. Lulu API lets me print unique books for each user, but I'd have to implement all the shop aspects myself. Is there a way you can think of getting the best of both worlds?

I have no experience with the API. But sweek.com comes to mind. It's a brand from Mybestseller. Read more here: lulu.boards.net/post/11788/threadSweek is where you create your book, just like Lulu. The ISBN costs about 12.50. Then the book is available on Amazon, in German-speaking, Flemish and Spanish bookshops. For direct sales, there are widgets that you can easily integrate into your own homepage or social media. That's probably what you're looking for. Limitation: Sweek.com only produces paperbacks, not hardbacks. Others like mybestseller.co.uk can do that - then the one or other stationary bookshop is omitted as a distribution channel.
