How to monetize your brand with print-on-demand

Print on demand offers an easy way to add a revenue stream by monetizing your branded products. You can turn your designs into physical products like t-shirts, mugs, and posters without holding inventory or managing shipping logistics.

The best part? You only pay for products once customers order, eliminating upfront costs and storage requirements.

We’ll tell you how easy it is to set up with the built-in features offered by website builders. With the right platform, you can get your merchandise store up and running in minutes rather than weeks.

How to Add Print-on-Demand Services to Your Website

Print-on-demand (POD) platforms automatically work with local suppliers to help you ship personalized printed merchandise to your online audience. When a customer orders from your store, the platform routes the job to a nearby production partner who prints, packages and ships the item directly to your customer. You never touch inventory or worry about fulfillment. The whole process happens on autopilot.

The print-on-demand market was valued at $10.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to exceed $100 billion by 2034, making it one of the fastest growing e-commerce segments. This explosive growth is driven by creators, small businesses and entrepreneurs who are looking for low-risk ways to monetize their brands without investing in capital-intensive inventory.

Here are the top print-on-demand platforms you can integrate into your website:

• Printable: Offers over 461 customizable products and manages everything in-house for consistent quality control. The platform provides a free Design Maker tool and global fulfillment centers to ensure faster delivery. Printful works with major e-commerce platforms and charges no setup fees. You only pay when you make a sale.
• Print: offers over 1,300 products and connects you to a network of different print providers, giving you more options and often lower prices than your competitors. The Free plan includes unlimited product designs, while the Premium plan costs $29 per month and offers up to 20% off product costs.
• Gelato: Specializing in local production with over 140 production centers in 32 countries, reducing shipping times and carbon footprint. The free plan includes basic integrations and product creation tools, while Gelato+ costs between $19.99 and $23.99 per month with subscriber discounts of up to 35%. The platform is particularly strong for EU and UK sellers who prioritize fast regional delivery.
• Personalized chat: A US-based supplier known for its fast fulfillment that ships most orders within 3 business days. CustomCat offers a free plan with access to all features, as well as a Pro plan for $25-30 per month that offers 20-40% off all products. The platform specializes in high-resolution printing technology and phone support, which is rare among print-on-demand providers.

Print-on-demand integration simplifies monetization

If your website builder integrates natively with a print-on-demand solution like Printful or Printify, this can make monetization much easier by reducing the time spent building your business.

Hostinger launched its print-on-demand integration with Printful in September 2025, allowing you to offer personalized products directly through your website without hassle. Wix also offers integration with Printful through its App Market, giving you a complete solution for marketing and selling prints online.

Regardless of which provider you choose, the setup process ultimately comes down to these simple steps:

• First, choose your website builder (Wix, Hostinger, Squarespace, etc.) and POD provider (Printful, Printify, etc.).
• Next, use your website builder’s add-on marketplace (e.g. Wix App Market or Shopify App Store) to set up an integration with your print-on-demand provider.
• Once your accounts are linked, set up payment and shipping options, and sync your product offerings across both platforms.
• Now, whenever a customer places an order for a POD product on your website, it will automatically be routed to your print-on-demand provider for fulfillment.
