I love this! Great use of technology to build a great product. Can you talk more about the procurement pipeline? Who actually does the printing and shipping/handling? Did you outsource that to someone else, and if so, who?

Could be something like Printful. They have APIs for to order prints and delivery

Just wondering what sort of Mapbox account you're using for this? I previously enquired about doing something similar with Mapbox, and was told if you intend to use the images commercially for printing you'd be capped at 2,000 prints and it'd cost you up to $5k annually.

Lovely idea. I bought one for my home, but the email confirm I received had an image that looked much different than the one that I customized. The text was much bigger and overlapped, even though I had customized it to not be like that.

The actually print will look the same as what you saw on the site, while editing. This screenshot in the confirmation email is just an approximation. We'll fix that in the future. Thanks for pointing that out.

Might be missing something, but I'm fairly certain that Mapbox requires you to include attribution here. They also prohibit printing for commercial purposes, although that's lifted for enterprise plans, which you might have.

Was quite certain of this too. To cover something like this website is quite expensive too, and as this is a side project I highly doubt he's covered those costs.
