For independent surfboard shapers
You shape the boards.
It runs the business.
Upload your Shape3d or Aku file once. Your local customers configure their own board and pay on your website, and the order, production and paperwork run themselves.Built in New Zealand by shapers, for shapers.
What it does
Everything you know about your boards, out of your head and into one place.
Upload your shapes once. Customers see their real options and the price as they build. Inquiries, orders, production and the paperwork all run from the same dashboard.
Get every spec right, every time
Every shape, size, glassing schedule, fin placement, colour and price rule lives in the portal instead of your notebook and your memory. Load it once and it's right on every board you sell after that.
Fewer back and forth emails
They pick dimensions, colours, glassing, fins and logos on your own website and watch a photoreal board update as they choose, with the price updating as they go, so they order the board they actually want.
Never retype an order again
Every enquiry lands in one list with the full build and its price already attached. Take the deposit and it becomes an order without retyping a thing.
Know where every board is
Order forms for accounts, production, CNC and glassing, plus shaping notes, blank dockets and a tracking link the customer can follow while their board is built.
Get paid without chasing
Invoices, deposits and balances, stock and demo boards, team riders, licensing royalties and freight, all in the same place.
More boards sold, less effort
Reviews, giveaway campaigns and newsletters built around your own boards and sales. Switch on the parts you want.
Built in New Zealand
Born from the workshop.
It started with a simple problem: getting shaper designs into our alternative construction company, Flexframe. We built a tool to make uploads effortless, sent it to a few shapers we work with, and the response caught us off guard. They all wanted to use it for their own websites. So we leaned in, and Shapers Portal was born.
How it works
From shape file to finished board.
Your whole order, start to finish, in three steps.
Upload
Add your logo and bio, then drop in your CAD files. They become clean, photoreal, orderable boards.
Share
Embed the configurator on your own site, push the boards into Shopify, or use the free one page brand site.
Get paid
Customers configure and pay a deposit. You get a print ready spec sheet, order forms in one click, and the balance invoiced when it's done.
Less admin.
More surfing.
Shapers Portal handles the catalogue, configurator, orders and storefront so you can spend less time at the computer and more time in the water.
