Category: Print on Demand

When I first looked into selling print-on-demand products through TikTok, I thought it would be a straightforward process. TikTok is booming for ecommerce right now, and Printify is one of the easiest POD platforms to launch with.

But connecting the two? It turns out there are a few hoops to jump through, especially if you're not based in the US.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the exact steps I used to set up TikTok Shop with Printify as a US-based seller.

I’ll also share the best workarounds I found if you’re outside the US and still want to sell print-on-demand through TikTok.

When I first looked into starting a print-on-demand business, I thought I could launch it without spending a single dollar.

Technically, you can start for free, but let me be honest, if you want it to look like a real business, and not just a random hobby, you’re probably going to spend somewhere between $50 and $500 in your first month.

That includes everything from samples and listings to your store setup and marketing.

The good news is, compared to other business models, the startup cost is still very low.

But there are choices to make that affect how much you’ll spend upfront. In this article, I’ll break it all down based on my experience and research, including the platforms, tools, and real costs that most people don’t talk about.

Zazzle has become the go-to option for people with creative ideas and those looking to sell custom products.

It's got a massive product catalog, a pretty powerful design editor, and access to a global marketplace. But as many people have discovered, Zazzle isn't always the best long-term solution – especially for those who want to build a real, scalable e-commerce business.

If you've found that Zazzle's limitations are getting in the way of your business growth then you're not alone.

From being restricted in how you can brand your products to those lower than average profit margins, sellers are moving on to platforms that give them more control, flexibility and earning potential.

I've personally looked into the best Zazzle alternatives when it comes to print quality, how fast they can get products to customers, price transparency, integrations and the overall seller experience.

Whether you're building your own personal brand or looking for a more hands-off way to make some extra cash, this list should help you find the right fit for your business goals.

Isn’t it great how much easier it’s become to launch an ecommerce store these days? 

Not only do you have all-in-one platforms like Shopify to help you build and grow your online presence, but you’ve got partners who can do most of the tough work of creating and shipping products for you, like Gelato.

If you ask me, these two platforms are a match made in heaven for new sellers. You get all the omnichannel flexibility and scalability of an ecommerce system that supports small businesses and enterprises alike, combined with a print on demand company that actually stands out.

Gelato doesn’t just give you generic white label products, it’s a business that actively contributes to higher revenue with sustainable practices, fast global delivery, and an amazing product range. You even get one of the best premium plan options in the market with Gelato+. 

Intrigued?

I’m about to show you how you can use Gelato and Shopify to launch, grow, and scale your POD store (without the usual headaches).
