Individual order vs high volume — the central distinction

Individual order: "I need to create one star map quickly." → Starmap Pro.

High volume: "I receive hundreds of personalized orders and need the entire process automated." → WatchFolder.

Starmap Pro is the quick star-map creation tool for individual charts. WatchFolder is the high-volume production automation layer. They are separate tools — WatchFolder does not require Starmap Pro.

How WatchFolder automates Amazon Custom star map orders

Example automated workflow:

  1. Amazon Custom order — name/date/time/location, options, SKU and quantities extracted from order files.
  2. Star map generated — personalized star chart rendered for that order's date, time and location.
  3. PSD/AI template populated — correct Photoshop or Illustrator template routed by SKU; map placed at print resolution.
  4. Personalized text inserted — names, dates, dedications with auto-fit and layout rules.
  5. Production PDF exported — print-ready file named and organized by order ID, with barcodes where needed.

What else is automated around the star map

  • Customer names/text with auto-fit and multi-line handling
  • Options & SKU/template routing for constellations, styles, sizes and variants
  • Barcodes & QR codes — order ID → EAN-128, Spotify/URL/message codes
  • Photoshop & Illustrator templates — your existing poster, stationery or gift layouts
  • Production-ready exports — PDF/PNG/JPG sorted by order, SKU and date
  • Local processing — orders, photos and templates stay on your machines
