Why the Printful Module is a Game-Changer for Marketplace Owners

The Printful module is not just another feature, it’s a pathbreaker.

If you’re still wondering is print on demand still profitable, let me clear your doubt.

Imagine you run an online marketplace where vendors can sell custom-designed T-shirts. One day, a vendor uploads a unique design for a T-shirt at $25 in your marketplace.

As the marketplace owner, you charge a 20% commission on each sale, which comes to $5 per shirt.

Every time a T-shirt is sold, you earn $5 without having to manage inventory or shipping.

Let’s say your marketplace sells 200 shirts in a month.

That’s 200 sales × $5 commission = $1,000 in profit for you.

Don’t you think print on demand is a highly profitable model for marketplace owners?

Let’s show you some more benefits in terms of print on demand for marketplace :

1. Attract New Vendors and Grow Your Marketplace

By offering a print on demand solution, you open the door to a new set of vendors, such as creators, designers, and entrepreneurs. These vendors may want to sell custom products but don’t have the resources to manage inventory or shipping.

Print on demand removes barriers to entry for these vendors and makes it easier for them to sell on your marketplace.

In return, your marketplace can quickly scale its products by adding new custom designs and unique products from vendors.
