- Artwork from your computer
- Products in bulk
- Order Import files
- Print size checks

- “Make a mug from each PNG in art/ with my Mug template”

- “Draft orders for the three rows in rush.csv”
Tips for bulk work in Codex
Order Import for big batches
For a big batch of orders, ask Codex for an Order Import file and upload it on Dreamship. An order number already on Dreamship is refused, so nothing is ordered twice.
Check sizes before you print
Codex can upload a folder of designs and tell you which are too small for their print area, so you can fix them or use AI Upscale first.
Your login, your permissions
Codex signs in as you and can do what your Dreamship role allows. Billing and business settings are only there for admins.
