Online ordering · Sheet metal
An online ordering system for sheet metal shops
SeekMake turns your website into an online store for sheet metal fabrication. Customers upload STEP and DXF files, get a price, add parts to a cart and pay by card, PayPal or bank transfer. The order lands in your dashboard ready for production.
Sheet metal orders are often bulky and heavy, so shipping cost matters to the buyer as much as part price. Business customers also tend to pay by purchase order or bank transfer rather than card. Online ordering lets you set shipping rules and payment options that fit how your customers buy, and each order arrives with its files and chosen finish.
