The problem
Without a connected platform, a customer coordinates each step separately, with different businesses and chats.
The businesses already exist.
The skills already exist.
The customers already exist.
What's missing is the connection.
The ecosystem
Grateful Prints sits in the middle. Each participant keeps running their own business and uses the platform to reach customers, work together and get paid.
We collaborate, not compete.
Interactive investor demo
Explore by role
Step 01 · Customer experience
Customers print, reorder, get layout help, and shop crafts and merch from the same app, or simply ask GP.
Live now
Tap the highlighted spot, use Next, or jump to a role. This investor demo uses real app screens and a sample order: nothing here touches live orders, payments, riders or accounts. The live app is the public product.
Open Live AppOur business engines
We are building infrastructure around the printing economy, not another printing app. Each engine serves a different part of that economy, and all four run on the same accounts, orders, payments and delivery.
Printing, design services, crafts and merch from local partners, with pickup or delivery.
The marketplaceTemplates and design files that customers buy online and download.
The Digital StoreBusiness software for print shops, with a live 3D view of the shop.
GP Operating SystemPrint shops, designers, crafters and riders who do the work, concentrated in Iligan City today.
The networkEngine 1 · Grateful Prints Marketplace
The marketplace connects people who need printing and creative products with print shops, designers and crafters who can fulfill them.
Examples from live partner listings, checked Oct 7, 2026.
Grateful Prints does not need to own every press. It sends demand to the businesses that already have the machines and the skills.
Engine 2 · Grateful Prints Digital Store
The Digital Store at gratefulprints.store sells designs as files. Customers pay online and download them. It runs on the same platform and accounts as the app.
Engine 3 · GP Operating System
GP OS is its own product, separate from the marketplace. It runs a print shop's day: orders, production, team, stock and money. It works on its own, and it can connect to Grateful Prints when the shop wants marketplace orders.
Private pilot Live with one partner print shop in Iligan City. Not yet generally available.
For any print business, marketplace partner or not. Walk-in, phone, chat and direct orders in one system. Grateful Prints sets up the workspace today; self-serve sign-up is planned.
With GP Connect, marketplace orders arrive as job tickets. Grateful Prints keeps handling payment, delivery and fees. Sending job status back to the marketplace is future work.

GP OS · 3D operations view
Most dashboards are tables and charts. GP OS also shows the shop as a live 3D floor, so an owner can see who is in, which areas are busy, which jobs are moving and where something needs attention.
Pricing coming soon. Early access is by invitation during the pilot.
Engine 4 · Partner and fulfillment network
Customers create demand. Print shops fulfill print jobs, designers turn ideas into print-ready files, crafters make personalized products, and riders bring finished orders to customers. Grateful Prints coordinates the work.
Let's Collab!
Customers describe what they need, compare matching listings from local partners, order with pickup or rider delivery, and follow each order.
Let's Print & Grow!
Print shops receive orders, review the customer's files, ask for changes or approve production, and mark orders ready.
Let's Create!
Designers offer bookable design services and sell digital templates that customers buy and download.
Let's Create & Sell!
Crafters and merch sellers list ready-to-order items and made-to-order products next to print services.
Let's Deliver!
Riders take local delivery jobs from partner orders and see their earnings for each completed trip.
How an order flows
Technology platform
Built and run by Grateful Prints. The same accounts, orders, payments and notifications serve the app, the Digital Store and GP OS.
One product on the web, Google Play and the App Store.
Workspaces for customers, print shops, designers, crafters and riders. One account can switch roles.
Partner approval, listing review, order tracing and a transaction center.
Review-first checkout: for priced pickup and delivery orders, customers pay after the shop accepts.
Files, versions, chat and status on every order.
In-app and phone notifications for order updates.
Rider job offers, active delivery and per-trip earnings, plus pickup and courier options.
Tell GP what you need. It asks one follow-up question and shows the closest matching listings.
We are exploring AI-assisted ordering. Ask GP is not AI today; anything AI will be labeled when it ships.
Business and revenue model
A platform fee when a paid order is completed, at one fee rate per partner type. Accounts are free and partners keep the rest.
A Store fee on each digital sale. The designer receives the rest.
Recurring software plans: Start, Pro and Command. Pricing is not set and no plan fees are charged during the pilot.
Optional tools that help partners get found. Not live.
Repeat orders for organizations. Under evaluation.
Business upgrades and connections for partners and GP OS shops. Not live.
The platform does not need to own presses, inventory or vehicles. Fee tables and revenue to date are shared in the investor meeting.

Why now
Printing demand, print businesses, designers, makers, riders and digital payments are already part of everyday Philippine commerce. What is missing is one system that lets them work together.
of registered business establishments in the Philippines are micro, small and medium enterprises. The print shops, designers and crafters we serve are among them.

Competitive difference
We want print businesses to become part of the ecosystem.
People-first mission
Grateful Prints is designed to bring existing print shops, designers, creators and delivery partners into one shared ecosystem, not to replace them. It is a business choice as much as a value: partners bring their own equipment, skills and local customers, so the network can grow without Grateful Prints owning every press.
We collaborate, not compete.
Founder story
My goal was bigger than another printing business. I wanted to help the people around printing grow: customers who need things made, print shops, designers, makers and the riders who deliver.
The skills and businesses were already here in Iligan. What was missing was a simple way for them to find each other and work together. So I started building that connection myself, and I still build the platform today.
The whole point of business is to help and develop people.
Vision and roadmap
Our vision is a trusted nationwide printing ecosystem where customers and local service providers grow through technology, collaboration, shared opportunities and community impact. Only the first column is today's reality. No launch dates are promised; each stage starts when the one before it is proven.
Long term Vision
Connected printing infrastructure for customers, creators, businesses, production and fulfillment: marketplace, Digital Store, GP Operating System, partner network, payments and delivery working as one system.
The business in one view
Print, design, products and delivery.
Templates and digital products.
Business software and 3D monitoring.
Print shops, designers, crafters and riders.
Infrastructure around the printing economy, not just another printing app.
Investment opportunity
We are speaking with a small number of investors who believe technology can help local businesses grow together. The amount, structure and terms of any investment are discussed privately and documented with Philippine legal and accounting advisors.

Investor FAQ
The product is live. Customers order on the web app, on Android through Google Play and on iPhone through the App Store, and partners manage those orders in the same platform. You can open it yourself from this page.
Today: a platform fee on each completed paid order, at one fee rate per partner type, and a Store fee on each Digital Store sale. Accounts are free. GP Operating System plans are in pilot and pricing is not set. The full fee table is shared in the investor meeting, and planned revenue lines are labeled as planned on this page.
gratefulprints.store sells digital products such as editable templates and design files. Customers pay online and download them, and the designer receives each sale minus a Store fee. It runs on the same platform as the app.
It is live in a private pilot with one partner print shop in Iligan City. It works as standalone business software and can connect to the marketplace. Three plans are defined (Start, Pro and Command); pricing and self-serve sign-up are not available yet.
Our partner network is concentrated in Iligan City, where we are building density first. We plan to add partner coverage one city at a time.
Early. The product is built and processing real orders. The current focus is converting registered customers into first orders and growing partner supply. Verified figures are shared in the meeting.
