Make templates, and set up companies

A template is your design with boxes each buyer fills in: their name, their details, a photo or a QR code. Drop in its PDF, draw the boxes, try it, and it goes on your shop. A company's people order their own templates, with an approver's yes when you ask for one.

Approvals

When someone approves the proof of a company's print, its approvers are emailed. On their account page, each approver sees the proof and who ordered it, then presses Approve, or Send it back with what needs changing. Whoever ordered it is emailed the answer. A print that waits can't be ordered until it's approved.
