Open a print-on-demand listing without inventing the fees
Connect a printer to a shop, price from their current costs, and sell work you made.
Printful, Printify, and Gelato make the object after someone orders. Shopify, Etsy, or Gumroad is where the buyer pays you. None of them set your margin. This page will not quote their fees, because the numbers move.

How to do it
- 1
Choose one printer and one shop
Read the current connection guide between, for example, Printful and Shopify or Etsy. One path is enough to learn. A second printer can wait until you have ordered a sample.
- 2
Upload the print file, not the mockup
Use the file from the print checklist. Generate their mockup for the listing photo. Do not upload a screenshot of a mockup as the print file.
- 3
Price from their calculator
Use the printer's and the shop's current cost pages. Add the hours you spent. Write the price down. A chatbot does not know this month's fees.
- 4
Write a plain listing
Size, what it is printed on, and that production starts after the order. Say if a photo is a mockup. Ship the description you would say at a table.
