Handmade and Print on Demand
Sell things you make, or things a printer makes to order under your design. This covers handmade and craft marketplaces, art and design platforms, print-on-demand partners that ship shirts, mugs, posters and phone cases one at a time, and the storefront tools that tie a shop to a printer. Buying stock to resell belongs in Reselling and Flipping. The gap between a shop that sells and one that sits is traffic and margin: either the marketplace brings its own buyers, or the print partner's base cost leaves room to price sensibly. We rank on genuine buyer traffic, product range and print quality, and how plainly a site publishes what each sale costs you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a marketplace and a fulfillment partner?
Marketplaces like Etsy or Redbubble provide the storefront and the customers for you. Fulfillment partners like Printful or Printify connect to your existing store to handle the production and shipping of your designs.
Do I need to buy inventory upfront to start selling?
No, several options in this category allow you to sell products without upfront costs or inventory. Print-on-demand services and certain marketplaces let you sell items only after a customer places an order.
Can I sell my own handmade goods or am I limited to digital designs?
You can do both. Some platforms are built specifically for artisans selling original handmade crafts, while others are designed for artists to upload digital designs for print-on-demand products.
How do I make money if I use a print-on-demand service?
You typically earn money through royalties or by setting your own markups. Some platforms pay a fixed percentage per sale, while others allow you to choose how much profit you add on top of the manufacturing costs.
