Every Printify seller has the same question – where should I sell my print-on-demand (POD) products?
Shopify gives you the freedom to create a branded store from scratch, whereas Etsy attracts customers who are already looking for unique items. Meanwhile, TikTok Shop can turn viral content into instant sales.
Not sure which direction to take? Totally normal. Here’s a breakdown of where to sell print-on-demand products and how to choose one that fits your goals.
What are the best platforms to sell print-on-demand products?
When deciding where to sell print-on-demand products, you’ll typically choose between eCommerce platforms, online marketplaces, and social commerce sites.
Let’s explore how each one works.
eCommerce platforms for maximum control over your brand
Want to create an online store that looks and works exactly the way you imagine? Go with eCommerce platforms.
These tools don’t come with built-in traffic, but they give sellers more control over their website and online business. Here are some top options that integrate with POD platforms like Printify.
1. Shopify
Shopify is popular among both small businesses and big brands. The free Printify app makes it easy to list and sell custom products in a few clicks.
Why it’s great:
- Free trial, then $1/month for three months before paying the subscription fee
- Integrates with marketplaces and social channels to expand your reach
Keep in mind:
- Extra fees apply if sellers don’t use Shopify’s built-in payment processor
Starting price: $29/month
