How Payments Work—A Guide to Printful Fees

Pricing strategies

Consider various factors when setting your prices

Design costs

Compensate yourself for the time you or your hired graphic designer spend creating designs for your business.

Shipping

Make sure you charge your customers enough to cover what Printful charges you for shipping. Consider flat rate shipping or increasing your prices and offering free shipping.

Ecommerce platform fees

Your ecommerce platform will charge you a flat monthly fee or a variable fee. They might also charge additional transaction fees, so keep these costs in mind.

Other fees

When pricing your products, take into account any extra money you spend to run your business including subscriptions to other services, advertising, and even your internet bill.

In order to accept transactions from your customers, you'll need to set up a payment processor on your store. Depending on your platform, you can set up direct bank transfers, online payment systems like PayPal, credit cards, and more. It's a good idea to choose a payment processor that your target audience is comfortable using.

Disclaimer

Keep in mind that money from your customers comes from the payment processor you set up on your storefront, never from Printful directly.
