Custom Printing Integration

Lulu’s print-on-demand API operates behind the scenes to provide personalized, fully customizable book printing and fulfillment while your brand stays front and center with white-label services.

Print and ship globally with Lulu’s international network. With over 3,200 product combinations and no minimum print runs, our flexible API allows you to customize your products to meet your customers' needs.

No Upfront Cost

Never pay a service fee to access the custom printing API. There’s no inventory to manage, the API is completely free to set up and use, and you only pay for printing and fulfillment, leading to significant cost savings.

From Lulu API Users

“Before switching to the Lulu API, I was spending 1–3 minutes per order manually entering customer details, addresses, and credit card info—one form at a time. Since moving to the Lulu API, it’s night and day: orders are automated, reliable, and take literally zero minutes of my time (and of my virtual assistant invoices)!”

— Marc Pittet, Mustachian Post

"By integrating Lulu's API with platforms like Ghost and Zapier, the magazine reduced its internal production time from two weeks to just two hours. Lulu's high-quality printing ensured that the magazine stood out as a professional, legitimate publication."

— Chelle Honiker, Indie Author Mag
