ilmCode Printing, an online shop built for print shops
A complete e-commerce platform for printing and promotional-gifts businesses: a fast storefront for your customers and a full admin panel for you — orders, couriers, Live Chat, tracking and reports — installed on your own hosting.
Everything your customers see
A storefront you shape yourself — no theme files to edit.
Home Page Builder
Build the home page from blocks — sliders, banners, category rails, product grids and services — and re-order them in a click.
Menus, header and footer
Main, mobile and catalogue menus with icons, a header notice bar and a footer with your shop address and opening hours.
Built for printing
A dedicated print product type and a "Get a Quote" flow, alongside the regular catalogue, for custom and bulk print jobs.
Live Chat
A chat widget on the storefront — while your team is online it is a live chat; while offline it hands off straight to WhatsApp, and every message is kept.
Made for phones
The storefront and the app-style mobile header and footer are designed phone-first, where most of your customers shop.
Reviews, blog and media
Moderate customer reviews, publish blog posts for SEO and manage every image from one media library.
Everything you run the shop with
Orders to accounts, in one admin panel.
Orders end to end
Every order stage from placed to delivered, filters, search, and a note on where the order came from.
Steadfast and Pathao
Book a parcel with Steadfast or Pathao straight from the order, save the tracking code and follow the courier status.
Printable invoices
Generate and print client-side invoices, in English, without leaving the order page.
Staff, roles and permissions
Give each team member only the modules they need, including who can answer Live Chat and manage WhatsApp numbers.
Self-healing admin access
If the shop is ever left with no active Super Admin, the next active staff member who opens the panel has it restored automatically — logged and e-mailed, so the shop is never locked out.
Backup and restore
Take and restore backups from the admin, and keep payment, SMS and courier settings in one place.
Built to help you sell more
Marketing tools that usually cost extra are already inside.
AI Home Page Builder
Describe your shop in a sentence and a draft home page is filled in for you, as ordinary blocks you can re-order and edit.
Meta and TikTok pixel
Conversion tracking that fires once per order (de-duplicated with a shared event id), managed from a Pixel Controller instead of code.
Google Tag Manager
Add your GTM container from the admin and let your marketing team take it from there.
16 e-mail templates
Order, quote and account e-mails are already written and on-brand — edit the wording or the design from the admin.
WhatsApp hand-off by department
A visitor picks a department when staff are offline, so the right team gets the WhatsApp message, not just whoever is on call.
Know where orders come from
Every order records its source, so you can see which channel and campaign actually pays.
Live in three steps
No developer needed for the basics.
Get the license
Order the yearly license and we send you the installation package and support contact.
Install with the web installer
Upload to your hosting, open the site and follow the installer: requirements check, database, admin account and store details.
Add products and go live
Add your print products and categories, arrange the home page with the builder and start taking orders.
What it runs on
Standard, well-supported technology — no exotic servers.
Laravel 12
Built on a modern, widely used PHP framework, so any Laravel developer can extend it.
PHP and MySQL
Needs PHP 8.2 or newer and a MySQL / MariaDB database. Runs on shared hosting, a VPS or a dedicated server.
Secure by default
Server-side pricing, per-module permissions, rate-limited logins and one-time codes that expire.
Signed updates
Upgrades arrive as signed update packages, one version at a time, so a bad file cannot slip in.

What exactly is ilmCode Printing?
A complete online-shop application built for printing and promotional-gifts businesses: a customer storefront plus an admin panel for products, orders, couriers, Live Chat, invoices and marketing tracking. You install it on your own hosting and run your own shop.
Do I own the code and the data?
You receive the application files and install them on your own hosting, with your own database — your products, customers and orders stay with you, not on someone else's platform.
What do I need to host it?
PHP 8.2 or newer and a MySQL or MariaDB database. It runs on ordinary shared hosting, a VPS or a dedicated server.
How is it installed?
With a web installer: upload the files, open your site and follow the steps — requirements check, database, admin account and store details.
How do updates work?
New versions are published as signed update packages, one version after another. Signing means the package is checked before it is applied.
How does Live Chat handle offline hours?
While no staff member is online, the chat widget hands the visitor off to WhatsApp instead — by department if more than one number is set — and the message is still saved to the inbox.
Which couriers are supported?
Steadfast and Pathao. You can book a parcel from the order and keep the tracking code and courier status with it.
Can I try it first?
Yes — ilmCode Printing is what runs artmediazone.ae, a real printing shop, so you can see it live before you decide.
Who helps me if I get stuck?
