How does POD for books work?

[SheDoesThat]

Does Shopify POD my books? I don’t understand? Am I supposed to have another company POD and sell on this POD site? I have a book I would like to print and sell on demand. 
On Amazon- I can use KDP and sell straight to Amazon. 
mom Shopify I have to use say- lulu- they POD to Shopify?

Hi @SheDoesThat. Welcome to the Shopify Community! 
 
There are different book POD providers you can choose from including Lulu xPress which you mentioned. We have a great article that goes through the 10 Best Providers for Print-on-Demand Books (2023) that you can check out and compare to see which one will suit your needs best. You can find these providers in the Shopify App store, as well as other POD apps that you can add directly into your Shopify admin and then follow their in-app steps to get started. 
 
Let me know if you have any questions about the information I provided, and good luck with your book!
