by using printify to add products to my store, would printify handle the shipping when the orders come in on my
store? this is really important information because i need to know if i have to reply to the order with shipping it manually.
Actually, you have to pay for the order first so that Printify will process the order for you. It is the same with nearly any dropshipping apps and platforms.
what about the profit i make tho. like if i pay for the shipping, i wont make a profit because i have to pay for the manufacturing as well so it costs me more.
Well, you can decide the product price. If you don’t want Printify to fulfill your orders, you may look for other dropshipping suppliers who can offer print-on-demand services or dropshipping agents who can help you ship the products overseas. More specifically, in China, a custom T-shirt of good quality costs between 39 to 65 yuan on Taobao. I know this because I’ve ordered for our company before. Moreover, if you negotiate with the supplier, you might be able to pay less.
After all, it depends on the positioning of your online store. If you ship a T-shirt to the UK, the shipping cost is around 10 ~ 15 yuan, depending on the shipping method. Even though you sell a custom T-shirt at 12.99 pounds, you can still earn a decent profit.
You just need to know what design your customer want if you work with a dropshipping agent.
