Print-on-demand gave me a lot of room to experiment with different products and different designs. A big part of this business is being experimental and trying different things, and print-on-demand allows me to do that without a lot of the risks that maybe buying upfront would.

Your top questions answered (FAQ)
Yes! Many Etsy store owners choose to expand their reach by opening a Shopify store in addition to their Etsy shop. This allows you to have more control over your brand, benefit from long-term stability, and seamlessly integrate print-on-demand products across multiple platforms. Multi-platform selling helps Etsy store owners reach new customers and diversify their sales channels, making it easier to grow your business.
As a business owner in the UK, you are responsible for your own taxes. You must register for Value Added Tax (VAT) with HMRC if your VAT-taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold (£85,000). We recommend speaking with a tax professional to understand your specific obligations as a sole trader or limited company.
Because we fulfil orders from our UK facility, most items are delivered within two to five business days after fulfilment. This gives you a huge advantage over sellers shipping from outside the country.
Syncing issues are rare, but they can happen! Usually, it's a simple fix like an incorrect setting in your Etsy shipping profile or a product variation that isn't linked correctly. Our support team is available 24/7 and has a fantastic guide to troubleshoot any problems and get you back to selling.
