Peecho WordPress Plugin – The Cloud Print Button That Could Make You Money

There once was a time when creating high quality printed products was nearly impossible to perform without having to wait for a long period of time, spend lots of money and spend countless efforts on editing, reviewing, you name it. In addittion, if you wanted to make money and sell your publications, you will have to print several copies, distribute them and hope to make sales, enough to cover for your cost. Furthermore, being a self-publisher was even harder due to limited resources.

Well, fast forward to today and you are presented with options that makes things a lot easier, cheaper and in some cases even free. Let’s start with WordPress that has provided the wonderful opportunity for many to be able to create their own digital stuff (blogs, photo hub, etc.) and use the platform to show off their creativity, knowledege, and more, in a lot of ways. Then comes the WordPress plugins which makes it even easier to “automate” tasks which were complicated for people who did not have the technical knowledge to enhance WordPress capabilities. That is the case of the WordPress Plugin Peecho which helps publishers (and not only) to sell digital magazines and books as high-quality, printed products using the company’s engine worldwide, the print-on-demand network.

Imagine being able to print high-quality products on-demand, that requires a very simple process of installing the free plugin, creating an account (yes, you will need one), uploading your work, distributing it, selling and finally getting paid. All this with one single service? Cool, right? Well, Peecho can help with all that for you.

Essentially, Peecho’s print button allows digital publishers to be able to sell their content in print, by adding a single line of code to their website. You can style your print in varios formats, is available in 6 different languages, supports 31 currencies and calculates prices based on available products that fit your file. It includes a complete checkout and payment module.

Here’s a quick presentation of Peecho:

So, How do we go about putting Peecho to work for us?

The Installation Process

Before I move forward, I just wanted those who don’t use WordPress that you can still use Peecho by going on “your” dashboard from your account. Regradless if you are on WordPress or not, if you run into problems just go to Peecho’s Documentation page or their FAQs and you are good to go.

Now, to install and get things started on WordPress:

From Your WP dashboard, goto > plugins > add new > search for Peecho > and hit install now

Once installed > hit activate

Once activated you will see a green message saying Almost done > hit the Activate your Peecho Account (note, if you still don’t have one, now would be a good time to sign up for a free Peecho account – you need an API key)

From your account > goto > the gear and find settings > there you will find your keys > copy and paste (see next step)

On WP > goto > Peecho seetings > paste your keys> hit save changes

You will see a connected green button if succesful

And, you are good to go. Goto Peecho Buttons > Add new publication > upload and hit add

And from your editor, you will see a tiny “peecho” button were you hit to insert the code of your chosen publication.

That’s it! Simply install the free plugin and create a Peecho print button for the products you want to offer (https://wordpress.org/plugins/peecho/)
