How Shopify and Print-On-Demand Work
Step 1: Set Up Your Shopify Store
To start your Shopify print-on-demand business, sign up for Shopify and choose a plan. You can start with a 14-day trial which you can extend, or choose a subscription plan based on your needs.
Next, pick a theme, customize it, add your logo, and set up essential product pages and others like an About Us and Contact page. Make sure to enable Shopify Payments and preview your Shopify store to make sure it looks just right.
Step 2: Choose a Print-on-Demand Partner
Once you’ve set up a Shopify store, it’s time to choose your print-on-demand partner. You’ll want to make sure you pick a tool that will give you the best quality, selection, speed, and, of course, price.
Printify is the best print-on-demand choice for Shopify. The company delivers on all these factors with 700+ high-quality products ready for custom designs and a network of more than 110 print locations worldwide.
Step 3: Create Designs and Your Custom Products
This is the most crucial step. Great design is vital. People want to buy great-looking products that they’re excited to get their hands on. But where to get the designs to sell on Shopify?
Option One
Make your own custom designs if you know how to use software like Photoshop or Illustrator and have a great design idea. Create your own designs and sell online to your target audience.
Option Two
Hire a designer! This is a great way to ensure your designs look gorgeous and come in the right size and format for POD. Ask your network, try a marketplace like Fiverr, or try our Experts program.
Option Three
Buy pre-made designs to sell on Shopify. Take advantage of our Printify x Shutterstock integration, find royalty-free artwork on Pexels or Unsplash, or buy designs from artists on Etsy.
Step 4: List Your Products
With your Shopify store set up and your products designed, it’s time to start listing them, so you can sell them! Start small with 10 products, and drive some traffic to your store with SEO or paid marketing. Sell custom products on your own online store and send your design ideas directly to your customers.
Suppose you want to be sure your customers are getting great quality products. In that case, we recommend ordering samples, so you see and feel what you’re selling. With your products in your hands, you can also take pictures for your listings, paid ads, or social media channels.
Step 5: Ship to Customers
If your designs are great and marketing is on point, you should soon start making sales and rank high among the best Shopify print-on-demand sellers. Create custom products, price them right, offer discounts, and fulfill orders with the best printing partners worldwide. Check out our guide on how to price your products for maximum success.
