Just getting started as a new user. I have a couple ideas for shirts and want to do some testing. Does the basic $5 setup for selling on social media work with the Printful site for order fulfillment?

Thanks

Hi @Brianp1200

Yes, you can absolutely use the Shopify Basic $5 plan with Printful to test your shirt ideas. This is a great way to get started with your online store without a significant upfront investment.

Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

Shopify Basic Plan:

  • Low monthly cost: This makes it affordable for testing your ideas.
  • Basic features: Provides essential tools like product listings, checkout, and payment processing.
  • Printful integration: Seamlessly integrates with Printful for order fulfillment and shipping.

Printful:

  • Print-on-demand service: Handles printing, packaging, and shipping of your products.
  • No upfront costs: You only pay when you make a sale.
  • Wide range of products: Offers various products like t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, and more.

How it works:

  1. Design your shirts: Create your designs using design tools like Canva or Adobe Illustrator.
  2. Set up your Shopify store: Create a basic Shopify store and connect it to Printful.
  3. Add products to your store: Use Printful’s integration to add your designed products to your Shopify store.
  4. Market your store: Promote your store on social media and other platforms to attract customers.
  5. Fulfillment: When a customer places an order, Printful automatically prints, packages, and ships the product directly to the customer.

By using this combination, you can test your shirt ideas without the hassle of inventory management and shipping. You can focus on marketing and design, while Printful handles the rest.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,
Daisy
