What is Print on Demand?
Print on Demand (POD) is a fulfillment process that dropships products to customers only after a sale goes through. This means that the merchandise will never require management, storage, or protection.
You can print quantities of custom merchandise with no inventory management by sending it directly to customers. This fulfillment model allows a customer to buy products in your shop and the order goes directly to the Print Provider. This eliminates the need for order fulfillment and storage space.

How to design without being a designer
Printify makes creating designs simple for everyone, whether you’re an experienced creator or just starting out. No special software or skills needed. Our free Product Creator gives you everything you need to design products for your own online store quickly and confidently.
Start sellingAdding and playing with designs has never been easier. Simply drag & drop or upload an image and customize it to your liking. Choose between colors, types of print, sizes, and more. Create layers with text and images to come up with a designer masterpiece.
This premium feature allows merchants to apply and customize text directly on the chosen product. Without the need to upload texts as images. The text can be scaled, rotated, and positioned however you want. Play with fonts, sizes, and colors to brighten the design.
This is what separates Printify from other print-on-demand companies. Shutterstock is fully integrated with our platform, allowing merchants to browse their image library for free and choose pictures for their designs. The pay-as-you-sell mechanism allows merchants to pay for the images only after making an actual sale. Once again, risk-free with no up-front investments.
Another great option to get designs without having the skills yourself is outsourcing. There are plenty of sites, for example, Fiverr where existing designers and artists offer their skills, designs and artwork. Make a request if you have something specific in mind or simply browse the existing ones and find a design that will fit your brand perfectly.
