Print on Demand | FAQ
Most frequently asked questions about print-on-demand
Print on Demand (sometimes known as PoD) is a fulfillment process where a product is only manufactured when a customer orders it, relieving merchants from the burden of inventory management and expensive equipment costs.
Before getting into the nitty-gritty of launching a PoD business, we recommend choosing a niche target audience so that you can stand out and be successful. In any business, online or not, if you try to sell to everybody, you end up selling to nobody.
Once you’ve found your niche and have selected products that customers would be interested in purchasing, the rest is easy! Simply choose an eCommerce platform to sell on—such as BigCommerce, Shopify, Etsy, or WooCommerce—add your designs to those products, and then connect to a PoD provider like Gooten to fulfill your orders! For other common mistakes to avoid when starting a PoD business, check out this blog post.
We connect with popular eCommerce platforms and marketplaces like BigCommerce, Shopify, Etsy, and WooCommerce. We can also support customized, out-of-the-box direct integrations with online businesses, homegrown tools & platforms, and a myriad of unique use cases like bringing commerce to an online game.
The products that are marked as available “Worldwide’ in our Product Catalog can be shipped almost anywhere in the world with a few exceptions—here is a list of countries we cannot ship to.
Gooten is free to use—there are no upfront or hidden fees! You are only charged when a customer purchases a product from you.
Once a purchase is made from your store, the order is automatically fulfilled by a PoD provider who produces, packs, and ships that order. At Gooten, once we process your customer’s order, we systematically route it to one of the 70+ global locations in our manufacturing network so that the order is produced and shipped closest to the customer allowing for faster delivery and lower shipping costs.
Similar to most businesses, you make money with print on demand by adding a markup to the base cost of a product. Gooten is completely free to use and you are only charged once a customer places an order, meaning you’re never spending money if money hasn’t already come in.
- As a merchant, you can either get your products from a single source, where you have only one manufacturer that produces your products, or you can get them from multiple sources, where you have a variety of manufacturers that carry a line of products that you can then select from and manage.
- With Gooten, you can get the benefits of single-source and multi-source without any of the complex or costly pitfalls. That’s because of The Gooten Network, our robust combination of 30+ manufacturers, cutting-edge technology, and white-glove service.
- Ecommerce businesses that use Gooten get the capacity, flexibility, and negotiating power of a large and comprehensive global supply chain without the hassle of having to manage it.
Production and shipping can take anywhere between 2-5 business days, respectively. You can view the most up-to-times for specific product categories here!
Depending on the type of product, we use direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, dye-sublimation, woven, and embroidery! Click here to learn more.
