A shop, memberships and merch on one page
Fourthwall is built for creators rather than adapted for them, and it shows in what is free: designing and selling print on demand products costs nothing, with the margin taken in the product price. Memberships and digital downloads run from the same shop. The free tier charges 5 percent on digital products, which the paid tier removes.
Our note
This is the closest thing to a default for a creator selling physical merch, mostly because the free tier is genuinely free rather than a trial with a fee attached. Pro pays for itself the moment digital sales pass about $300 a month.

Print on demand across ninety print shops
Printify is a broker rather than a printer: the same shirt is offered by several suppliers at different prices and print quality, and picking between them is the work. That is the argument over Printful, which prints everything itself and charges accordingly. Ordering samples before a launch is not optional here.
Our note
The provider choice is the whole product and also the risk: two suppliers printing the same shirt do not print it the same. Order samples from the one you pick before a launch, not after the first complaint.
