A print on demand shop that costs nothing
Spreadshop opens a merchandise shop with no fee at either end: Spreadshirt prints and ships, and you keep whatever you set above the base price of each item. Because there is no subscription, a shop that sells nothing for six months costs nothing to leave open. The trade is that the storefront and the product range are theirs, so it is less yours than a shop you build.
Our note
The trade you are making is control: the storefront, the checkout and the product range are theirs, and your brand sits inside their frame. Accept that for a first merchandise run and revisit it if anything actually sells.
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.
