Articles Print on Demand Comparisons

If you’ve ever thought about launching a business with print on demand, you’ve probably heard of Threadless and Redbubble.

Both platforms make it easy to start selling custom products. You don’t even need your own ecommerce storefront. You can simply create an account and start uploading products to sell on marketplaces already visited by thousands of shoppers.

While these platforms are similar in a lot of ways, there are some major differences between them that could sway your decision on which to use.

To help you make the right choice, I put both of these platforms to the test, learned about their features, and even researched their reputations to create this comparison guide.

On a broad scale, they’re very different solutions. Shipstation focuses exclusively on order fulfillment and shipping services, whereas Shopify is a world-leading ecommerce platform.

Shopify is one of my favorite platforms for sellers, offering extensive scalability, omnichannel selling solutions, and a host of business management features.

Since Shipstation doesn’t offer most of the features available from Shopify, I decided to take a more focused approach with this guide.

While CustomCat is a veteran in the POD industry, with more than 20 years of experience, Printful is one of my favorite platforms, thanks to its consistently excellent product quality, and wide range of integration options.

I put these two POD vendors head-to-head, looking at their key features, product options, integrations, pricing, and customer support services, to help you choose the right solution.

Articles Print on Demand Printful

Printful Quick Stores, originally introduced by Printful in June 2024, offers entrepreneurs and creators a convenient way to start selling products online, without the need to use a full ecommerce platform, or a marketplace like Etsy and Amazon.

It’s similar in a lot of ways to Printify’s “Pop-Up Store” service, offering a free, all-in-one tool individuals can use to sell a range of customizable products online.

Although, personally, I’d recommend integrating Printful with at least one online marketplace or an ecommerce platform like Shopify to boost your brand’s reputation and increase sales, Quick Stores is great for beginners.

Shopify vs Shopware: Which should you choose? I’ve said many times that Shopify is my favorite ecommerce platform, and that’s still true.

Shopify is a fantastic solution for omnichannel selling, and it’s one of the most flexible platforms out there, thanks to its comprehensive app store.

However, Shopware is a fierce contender. After testing the platform, I was extremely impressed by the incredible themes, the versatility offered, and even Shopware’s new AI and spatial tools.

Here, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about both platforms, to ensure you can make the right decision for your business.

Art Storefronts vs Squarespace: Which is Best for Artists?

Art Storefronts vs Squarespace: Which is best? Ultimately, it all depends on the type of business you want to run.

Squarespace is a straightforward website builder, with beautiful templates, and plenty of handy tools if you want to sell things like courses, memberships, and subscriptions.

However, while Squarespace advertises itself as a website builder intended for creators it’s not focused exclusively on artists.

It’s also not the most robust ecommerce platform I’ve ever used. In fact, when you dive in and actually set up an account with Squarespace, you’ll find a lot of missing ecommerce capabilities.

There’s no “wish list” feature, the inventory management tools are very basic, and Squarespace doesn’t even have its own dedicated payment processor (though it integrates with others).
