I really love Printful, it's been useful to cut down the time spent working on my store as I have a full-time job alongside this.

I've been using Printful since 2017 and sold over $100,000 worth of print-on-demand products that they’ve fulfilled. I’m a big fan of them as a company and their support team is very helpful and quick to respond to any inquiries I’ve had.
My partner and I started Gay Pride Apparel in 2019 as a side business. After a year and a half, we quit our day jobs and decided to focus on our store full time. Printful has been there since day one. They have been our best partner by far.

Yes. Amazon is one of the most popular online marketplaces, and many people earn money by selling physical or digital products. Some sellers use Amazon Merch to offer custom merch and artwork, while others build full storefronts to showcase a broader product range.
Print-on-demand simplifies this process by handling production and shipping without requiring upfront inventory. You create and upload your designs and set the price. Then, services like Printful fulfill the orders at no additional cost beyond the product base price.
To boost customer engagement and sales:
- Create listings with high-quality images and clear product details
- Follow content policies to avoid rejections
- Offer free shipping when possible
- Review analytics to see what’s working
- Try promotions or Amazon advertising to increase visibility
