What is Print on Demand?
Print on Demand (POD) is a business model where you sell custom products online without holding stock. When someone buys from your store, a Print Provider like Printful handles the printing and shipping for you. It’s a simple way to start selling with no upfront costs. Here’s how it works:
1. Create a product
Add your design to items like t-shirts, mugs, and posters.
2. Add it to your store
Connect your online store and publish your products.
3. A customer orders
We handle printing, packing, and shipping.
4. You earn the profit
Keep the difference between the retail price and fulfilment cost.
