Everything your Shop needs

Surface 5 is built for shops that run their own presses — with full ops tooling and the ability to grow a branded affiliate network on top.

Shop admin portal

Pricing, branding, API keys, affiliate approvals, and downstream management — all under your Shop.

Ops & production queue

Run your own production queue — quote, print, cut, and ship on your equipment. Role-based access for admin, accounting, production, and shipping staff.

API & embed

Script-tag widget and REST API for gang sheet quoting, uploads, and checkout on your own domains.

Affiliate network

Approve affiliates who launch branded storefronts under your shop. They sell gang sheets (and soon decorated blanks) while you set pricing and fulfill on your production line.

Overflow network printing

When demand outpaces your capacity, send select jobs to XtraDTF network production for a fee — a safety valve, not your default workflow. You stay merchant of record either way.

A guided path — no self-serve checkout yet. We review every Surface 5 Shop application personally.

Affiliate capacity

Scale your network as you grow

Surface 5 includes an affiliate program add-on with tiered capacity. As your affiliate network grows, so does order volume through your production line — upgrade tiers after proving payout discipline on each level. Platform approval required for each jump.

$250/mo add-on

Up to 10 affiliates — ideal for launching your first referral partners.

Tier 2

$300/mo add-on

Up to 50 affiliates — after one full billing cycle on Tier 1.

Tier 3

$400/mo add-on

Up to 200 affiliates — for established partner networks.

FAQ

Partner questions

Surface 5 vs affiliate, merchant of record, and what you control.

Affiliates earn commission referring customers to an existing shop — no monthly fee, no admin portal, no production floor. Surface 5 Shops run in-house printing with full platform access: you are merchant of record for downstream affiliates, set retail pricing, fulfill on your equipment, and manage your network through admin and ops tools.

You do — on your own DTF equipment. Surface 5 is built for Shops with in-house production capabilities. Your ops queue, printers, and staff run the day-to-day fulfillment. If you hit a capacity crunch, you can route overflow jobs to XtraDTF network production for a fee. That backup is optional, not the core model.

A registered business with an EIN (or equivalent tax ID), active DTF production capability, and a clear plan for running orders through your own shop. Platform verification confirms you are set up to fulfill — network overflow is there when you need extra capacity, not instead of it.

Yes — Surface 5 is the only tier that supports a downstream affiliate program. Affiliates can launch one branded storefront per approved partner — gang sheet embed now, POD catalog browsing rolling out next. You approve each affiliate before they go live.
