Printify: Print on Demand

This is an incredible POD app for your business. I recommend Printify because they offer you the ability to create your own products free of charge before you take orders from customers. They don't require you to pay them every month for a subscription. They're free unless you want to pay for an upgrade plan like premium or enterprise, but their free plan is great in my opinion. The only time you need to pay for anything is when you make a sale and you pay for the production of the product, but that's standard practice as an entrepreneur of of course. All products cost some money to source. What I love the most about print on demand is how you can take a blank product and make it entirely your own. You can offer a product to the market that is completely unique and never seen before. That makes you stand out in the market and also gives you a competitive edge compared to other sourcing methods. If I where to offer one constructive critique I would say some of the products can be a little pricey, but I would just recommend designing with their affordable products because their great in my experience. They offer a variety of products like supplements, shirts, sweatpants, mugs, bags, home products etc. I recommend that you sell their Unisex Softstyle T-Shirt if you are a clothing brand looking for a great product for a few reasons, one is, it's a great quality garment, it's soft and comfortable for your customers, and it is their cheapest shirt at the time of this review. In terms of the ability to create your own unique products, I think Printify is hard to beat in my opinion. Shipping times are very fast compared to other sourcing models. 2-5 business days. They also handle all sales tax on your behalf. I still think it's a good idea to file with your state gov to make sure you're covered if you have a LLC of business entity, however they collect it for you which is especially nice for people who don't have an LLC yet, are just getting started, marked "individual" for their business type. Printify's product photos are very clear and high quality, even for the product photos where there are models in the photos or the photos are folded. They also have an AI feature that creates your title and descriptions for you when you put in information about your product. Honestly, they're great. Again, my only constructive critique is some higher prices for some of their prices, but they offer lower priced items. I would say they are a great choice for you business. One of the best parts as well is that you don't have to hold any inventory. That is incredible in terms of the risk of investment, and for people getting started who don't have warehouse space. Those costs can be really expensive when you are just getting going. If you choose to go with them, I think they're a great option, especially if you're a designer, or like to design you own products like I do. Go for it!

I'd like more transparency about the shipping options each printer offers, and more information on the weight of the items to calculate price for shipping.

It’s a fantastic app for POD. Lots of support to help you grow. Comprehensible catalog. Is integrated with Shopify which is seamless. Placeit and Etsy could be more seamless.

Sometimes glitchy and slow to load or duplicate my items but user-friendly overall.
I would REALLY LOVE some high-ticket item options on the platform

I am liking it but I have found making a different color options for text color not as easy as it looks or it could be the video I was using. But I still am not able to easily figure out how to make different variant colors for different texts.

App is very easy to use. Customer Service is one of the absolute worst I have ever come across and be very very careful what products tou choose. Quality is substandard at best.

streamlined my merchandise process and made printing, selling and shipping merch something even possible for us

I am absolutely obsessed with Printify! The quality in everything I have received is top notch, I don’t have to worry after getting multiple samples what my customers orders will look like upon receiving them knowing their quality of their work is top tier.

Printify has helped my dream business come true. The shop design is seamless and very helpful with insights on what experts are doing with their own website so you can be as competitive.

This has made keeping items in my shop TREMENDOUSLY easier. I can still upload items I make myself, but if I have several designs I'm not ready to print on my own Printify does it for me and it's been wonderful! They have a huge selection of products to choose from and always make it so easy and convenient. Absolutely I would recommend them to anyone and I have.
