Web-to-Print A Dynamic Business Enabler

The printing industry is poised at the threshold of dawn of a new era – web2print. The convergence of Internet and consumer market has given rise to interesting business models for various industries. Print industry is no exception to this. Printers and designers are exploring web2print possibilities like never before. So what is it that is attracting print service providers to this technology like moth to flame?

Let’s examine.

 

http://www.onprintshop.com is a printing services site.

 

Onprintshop and Radix are one-in-the-same company ...

We've now hired another company and just discovered about 5 minutes ago that Radix not only added trackers to their code, but the information they are tracking would land them in very hot water if they were located in North America. For example, they receive complete customer information of every order -- and that means they get the total amount ordered (dollar amount), the email address of the customer, the phone number, the physical address, etc.

If that's not enough to scare you away from Radix ...

I will make this my mission to warn people.

The kind of information they are (were) tracking would make it impossible to become PCI compliant.

It makes me sick to think they have a year's worth of customer information from us, and I'll bet they are selling
those email addresses and perhaps other information, too.

So you get what you pay for, and in Radix' case, you get way more than you bargained, and so does your customer-base!

 

Where exactly was your customer information being sent? Is it possible it was some kind of testing/debugging code that was accidentally left enabled?

 

Customer data (and ordering information including payment details) were being sent to Radix/Onprintshop.

The testing ending December, 2011, so I'd like to think that if they were honest and were receiving customer order history a year later, they would have stopped it a long time ago.

I frankly think that's their business practice: they hook us small shops with low cost-to-entry fees and then steal our data.

The kind of data being sent to Radix is never the kind of data you'd expect to see being sent to a 3rd party developer: why on earth would they need the customer's email address or their physical address or the amount they paid or how they paid? We have our own merchant account and with this Web2Print app by Radix started using eSelectPlus where payment information was being sent to them directly rather than us.

What's frightening is that if we were collecting credit card information directly through our site, Radix would also get a copy of it.

Last night I went through the proposal Radix sent me last November (2011) and checked all the sites they used for references and only 2 of them are still active (in all fairness, a few of the Eastern European sites I didn't check) -- I was always suspicious about a few of the sites because they looked like they were somehow related to Radix and now I think I was right all along.
