Articles Print on Demand

 I’ve been working with creators and ecommerce brands (helping them build their online presence) for over a decade now. In that time, I’ve seen plenty of business models rise and fall – but the print on demand space is one option that hasn’t lost its appeal.

It’s easy to see why people love print-on-demand. No annoying inventory to worry about, no fulfillment issues, and pretty much no up-front risks.

All you do is create products, list them on your website, and you’re ready to make a profit. You even get to be a lot more creative than you would be with a standard dropshipping business.

Still, the success of your print-on-demand venture is going to depend on a few key things – like your choice of selling platform, and POD partner. I think Etsy and Gelato are an amazing combo.

Running a Shopify store is exciting, but keeping track of your products can sometimes feel like a small job you keep pushing off. I’ve been there. One minute you think you have around 300 products, and the next you realise you’ve got way more or way less than you thought.

In this guide, I’ll show you the easiest ways to check your product count, what to watch out for, and a few smart tricks I’ve picked up along the way.

To check how many products you have on Shopify, just log into your Shopify admin, click on Products from the left-hand menu, and you’ll see the total product number listed right at the top of the page.

No extra clicks, no digging around — it’s right there, super fast. If you want even more detail, you can also export a CSV of all your products in a few clicks and count them in Excel or Google Sheets.

If you’re running a small store, this might feel like an “I'll do it later” task. But trust me, once you scale past 500+ products, it becomes a non-negotiable routine you’ll thank yourself for setting up early.

Now, if you’re selling embroidered products like hats or hoodies and that fee’s eating into your margins, you’re not alone. I’ve been there — testing logo placements, uploading variations, and suddenly watching my costs climb.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how I manage to avoid that digitization fee, when you can skip it, and how to keep your product line lean and profitable without compromising on quality.
