WHAT IS A PRINT ON DEMAND MARKETPLACE

A Print on Demand marketplace is a website that provides everything for you; the products as well as the marketplace with an established customer base to put your designs in front of. All you have to do is add your design, pick the products you want it on, set your royalty rate, add a few keywords and you are off to the races.

On the other hand, a Print on Demand supplier is a website/company that you integrate with your own e-commerce store. Whether that be through Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, Etsy or any one of the other options available to you. You then add your designs to the products that the company supplies and they will be listed in your store.

We’ve seen a lot of blog posts all over the internet with lists of Print on Demand websites, telling their audience that it’s easy to make money.

Running a successful Print on Demand business is a simple process, but it takes time and effort. Sure, you could get lucky and design a winning product right off the bat, but more likely, it’s a slow build of products that sell consistently that will make you the big bucks. This is not a get quick rich scheme.

Other posts online also often mix the two different types of Print on Demand websites together, suppliers and marketplaces. The two are both under the umbrella of Print on Demand but make no mistake, they are not the same. 

This post is only a list of Print on Demand marketplaces.
