How to Automate Your Print-on-Demand Business in 2025

Articles Print on Demand

I’ve been in eCommerce and print-on-demand for over a decade. I’ve scaled stores from zero to six figures, helped countless sellers fix their bottlenecks, and seen first-hand what makes or breaks a POD business.

Here’s the harsh reality: most sellers are stuck doing things manually, and that’s why they never scale.

Uploading designs one by one. Manually sending orders to suppliers. Responding to customer emails all day. It’s exhausting and, more importantly, a waste of time.

The solution is automation. The more you automate, the more time you free up to focus on real growth—scaling ads, launching new products, and improving your brand.

AI Articles

AI-referred traffic to online stores surged 4,700% last year, according to Adobe. Yet only 7% of companies have scaled AI past the experiment stage. That gap between hype and results almost always comes down to one thing: picking the right tools instead of more tools.

So I went looking for the best AI ecommerce tools that actually move revenue, not the ones with the slickest landing pages. Most “best of” lists are written by the companies selling the software. I don't sell any of these. What follows is 13 tools ranked by what they do for your store, with real pricing, the usage-based cost traps vendors gloss over, and complaints from merchants actually using them.

One thing to flag up front: a couple of these tools are about getting found now, not just running the store. AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity already answer 12-18% of queries, and that changes which tools matter.

Articles Ecommerce

I’ll be honest, I’ve built my fair share of websites over the years – both for myself, and for clients. Over about a decade now, I’ve probably used virtually every easy website builder solution you can think of – Wix, Shopify – you name it.

Lately, I’ve experimented a lot with various AI-powered website builders – and I have to say, many are pretty impressive.

Squarespace Blueprint AI – the new updated AI website-building solution from Squarespace, caught my attention for a few reasons.

First, I’m already a big fan of Squarespace because of its amazing templates – even if I do think other platforms (like Shopify) have better sales tools.

Threadless is easier for beginners, but you’ll earn less per sale since Threadless controls the pricing and profit margins.
