I am looking to start up a POD shop with delivery to South Africa.

Does anyone have any advice on the best print on demand app to use. I was thinking Printful?

Anyone has an experience using POD in South africa?😊

Thanks soo much

Hi @Nicoledowley,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I'm happy to provide some guidance with locating the right dropshipping supplier for your shop, to ensure this gets resolved. To get you started, I would recommend checking out our Ultimate Guide To Dropshipping blog, as it touches on a few great tips and tricks. 

 

However, you can check out the Shopify App Store for a complete list of available dropshipping apps. For ease, I've gone ahead and suggested a few you can look into: 

 

 

Additionally, I would recommend contacting the app developers directly for confirmation on whether they can ship to South Africa. To contact an app developer, you can head to the Shopify App Store and select Support > Get Support. 

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hi Nicole,

 

I am curious to hear how your shop has been performing using Gelato POD. Or if you have used other POD Partners located locally.

 

I looked at Gelatos products and shipment and cannot see how this could be profitable in South Africa. The shipping cost and times are quite high. This works fine for my USA etsy shop but I am trying to get into the local SA  market. There really seems to be a huge gap in local suppliers.

 

Let me know what your experience has been like and any advice will be greatly appreciated.

 

Greetings,

 

Belinda
