Teleport is a great way to dropship 3D Prints to customers. You get access to giant 3D Print farms by Slant 3D so that you have hundreds of 3D Printers at your disposal for your business.


Generally it takes about 15-20 minutes to connect up Teleport if you already have a store made. But in this post we're going to create a checklist going through everything in Setting up a Shopify Store and Connecting it to Teleport


Create a Shopify Store

  1. Signup for Shopify (1 min)

  2. Name Your Store (1 Years)

  3. Select a Template (10 minutes)

  4. Signup for the Lowest subscription Tier for Now (Just need to get your store Live) (1 min)

  5. Complete Account ID Verification (Scanning a QR Code and photos of ID) (3 minutes)

  6. Setup Payments with Shopify Payments (5 minutes)

  7. You do not need a URL yet (You can add it in anytime) (15 minutes to add a URL)

  8. Create a Product with a SKU # (For testing make a fake product that costs $1 with free shipping) (10 minutes)

  9. Great! Now you have a baseline to start testing and get connected. You can run through and add whatever bells and whistles you like from here.


Setup Teleport

  • Signup (1 minutes)

  • Complete Payment Information (If you skip this step you will need to enter payment info in Account Settings later on your own to make teleport work) (1 minutes)

  • Complete Shippo Setup (10 minutes)

    • Teleport will direct you to Shippo

    • Signup (Free Tier for up to 30 Orders per month) (3 minutes)

    • Complete ID Verification on Shippo (You can go to Teleport account Settings if you missed this the first time through or to this link. It will go to a QR Code and photos of the ID) (5 minutes)

  • Upload a File in the Files Section of Teleport

    • If you Open the Info (i) on the file you will see the pricing for printing the file (Shipping is about $5 for orders under 1lb and about $11 for orders over 1LB)


Connect Everything and make sure it is working

  • Log back into Shippo and connect it to your Shopify Store (2 minutes)

  • Your Shippo is Already Connected to Teleport

  • Make an order in your Shopify Store (5 minutes)

    • If You can't make the order your Shopify is incomplete

    • The Order Should appear in Shippo (If not the shippo-shopify connection needs redone)

    • The order should appear in Teleport (If not, the shippo-teleport connection needs redone gop up to "Setup Teleport"


Create Your First Product Match in Teleport

*At this moment Teleport does require an order to come through before a match can be created (7/7/2025)

  • Go to the Orders and hit the match button. (1 min)

  • Select the File, components, and material that you want the part to be made in (For this SKU only) (1 min)

  • If you are happy with the match then you can hit the "Submit" button to have it sent to teleport (This submit is only necessary on the first match. Every order after can be automatically submitted if you want) (1 min)

  • The part will be printed and shipped within 2-5 business days. And you can check on it in the "Complete Orders" tab of the orders page.



And now you are set. As new orders come through you will have to match them. Or you can use the manual matching tool in the Matches page. But we will go over that later. Now you have a Shopify Store all setup and ready to go to have orders printed and shipped with Teleport by Slant 3D.
