Popular questions about starting a print-on-demand business with Printful
We recommend you to consult a professional for information specific to your case. As a starting point, you can go over our blog on how to start a business.
The closest you can get to creating a free online store is to set it up on a marketplace like Etsy. There are no subscription fees, you only pay a $0.20 listing fee for a product and a 5% transaction fee when you sell an item. That being said, if you want your own store, go with Big Cartel for $9.99/month, you'll have to manually add and sync your products there, but it'll cost you less to set up. Or if you're tech-savvy, try out WooCommerce—free to use, just pay for hosting.
The best ecommerce platform for small businesses depends on what you're looking for—fast setup, low startup fees. Printful supports various platforms, check them out on our ecommerce platform comparison page.
