Watch orders come in

As soon as a customer buys something from you, it's automatically imported to us. We charge for fulfillment and what's left from your retail price is profit!

We print, pack, and ship it

We print your order, pack it, add pack-ins, and ship everything directly to your customer under your brand.

How much does it cost?

It's free to sign up with Printful and there are no subscription costs! You only pay when an order is made

There are two transactions for every order

You charge your customer the retail price you set
Printful charges you for the product, fulfillment, and shipping

You set your profit

Whatever is left over after Printful charges you is your profit! So you can set your retail prices as high or as low as you want. Take a look at Printful's product catalog for our prices (it includes fulfillment, but shipping is extra). You can also create your own shipping rate strategy. Remember that lower costs can help you avoid shopping cart abandonment and gain customer loyalty.

I've been using the Printful app for a while now and I must say I'm extremely impressed.
The integration with Shopify is seamless, making it easy to create and sell custom products directly from my store. The user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, with a wide range of products to choose from, including clothing, accessories, and home decor.
The quality of the products is outstanding, with vibrant colors and precise printing. I also appreciate the fulfillment process, which is fast and reliable, with regular updates on the status of my orders.
Overall, I highly recommend Printful to any Shopify store owner looking to offer custom products to their customers. It's a fantastic app that takes care of everything from production to shipping, leaving you more time to focus on growing your business.
