Print on demand with a storefront attached
Merchize prints and ships the order, and will also host the shop it was bought from. Those are sold separately: fulfilment costs nothing beyond the product, and the storefront is the part with a monthly fee. That split suits somebody who already sells somewhere and only needs the printing, and somebody who wants both without wiring two services together.
Our note
Take the free fulfilment plan and keep selling where you already sell, unless you specifically want Merchize hosting the shop. Printful and Printify have larger catalogs; Merchize is the one that will also be your storefront.
Print on demand built around circular clothing
Teemill prints on organic cotton and takes the worn-out shirt back to make the next one, which is the part of it nobody else offers. The store is free to build and you pay the product cost per order, so a shop can exist before it sells anything. It is a UK operation, and the shipping offers reflect that.
Our note
The returns programme is the reason to choose Teemill over a cheaper printer, and it only pays off if your audience is the kind that will use it. Look at the base prices next to Printful's before deciding, because the margin difference is real.
