Sell custom CNC machining on Shopify with instant quotes

The SeekMake app on the Shopify App Store lets your store sell made-to-order CNC machining. Customers upload STEP and STL files, choose options and get a price from your rules, so custom parts sell like any other product.

Some CNC shops already sell standard items on Shopify, such as fixture plates, adapters or replacement parts. Custom machining usually stays outside the store because each part needs its own price. With the SeekMake app, customers upload their own model and get a price from your machining rules, right next to your catalogue items.

The problem

Shopify sells fixed products, your parts are all different

Shopify without quotingone price per product

  • Every custom part needs a quote first
  • Customers email files to the shop
  • Prices typed in as draft orders
  • Checkout happens days later

Shopify with SeekMakeprice per file

  • The price comes from the uploaded file
  • Options change the price live
  • Customers order without waiting
  • Orders arrive with the file attached
