Choose InkSoft. Although its backend shop management capabilities are lacking, it has the best e-commerce tools.
FOR ANY OTHER USE CASES:
Choose YoPrint. It’s the most robust when it comes to managing a print shop, and provides the most value for money.
WHAT ABOUT GRAPHICSFLOW? NOT NECESSARY
GraphicsFlow is supposed to assist non-designers in print shops. The idea is that anyone can create and modify art. However, GraphicsFlow isn’t a must-have. Don't forget, there are free design software that make design a breeze for everyone (hello, Canva!). And If you’re looking for Art Approvals and Art Storage, YoPrint’s got you covered already.
