Live Impressions · Software by Coastal Impressions
The software behind
the Magnet Bar.
We couldn't find software built for a photo magnet business, so we built it — and ran a summer of markets, fairs, and weddings on it. Now it's available to other makers. Guests order from their phones; you get a live board and print-ready sheets.
Built at real markets, not in a boardroom.
Every feature exists because a Saturday at a booth demanded it — bad wifi, long lines, cash customers, a press that needed calibrating. It's the exact system we run the Magnet Bar on today, offered to makers who'd rather press magnets than build software.
What it does
One system, from scan to sheet.
01
Live events, without the line
Guests scan your QR and order from their own phones — photo, crop, and payment included. Every order lands on a live board that updates as you press, so nobody has to ask if theirs is ready.
02
An online store between events
A standing shop at your own link, or dropped into the website you already have with one snippet. Orders flow into the same board as your events — one pipeline, wherever the sale happens.
03
A print engine that knows your press
Mixed sizes auto-laid onto your sheet, calibration runs so the first print matches your press, and cut labels on every piece. From paid order to print-ready PDF in one click.
Included
Everything a magnet business actually needs.
