And there you go, just like that you’re all set up with your custom branded, online t-shirt store. And if you’ve followed along, your t-shirts are all synced up with printful, so when someone purchases a t-shirt, an order is automatically sent to printful, printed on your t-shirt of choice and sent directly to your customer.
And since you don’t have to worry about upfront inventory costs, or printing and shipping you’ll have plenty of time to focus on other aspects of growing and running your online t-shirt business.

One word...AMAZING! Thank you Shopify!
Very informative and well thought out. The presentation answered some of my questions as I was thinking them.
Thank you! I found your video one of the most helpful I have seen. You got straight to the point of how to set up a online T Shirt business, without waffling on.
Great video! I've known someone who's currently running his printing business, like customized t-shirts, mugs, and more. And it's still growing. As long as you preserve or maintain a productivity and relationship to clients. They may be the key to let your business known to people.
This was the most helpful video i've ever watched on youtube. Thank you!
SO helpful! Thank you for this stellar video!
This video was very instrumental in helping me start my online store! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for that! Very informative.
Omg thank you so much for this video!

Thank you so much. All my questions have been answered!

Hello this is amazing thank you I had a project put away just for t-shirts thank you again
Man what a great Video... Thanks guys.
Very cool guys - I love vids I can follow
Great video! Thank you :)
awesome video. Thanks!!
This was a beautiful and professional video. I love the way you went through everything step by step and showed us how to actually do it. A lot of other programs just give some vague explanation about their product without even considering the skills of their clients. We are not all code and website creation savvy so for that I really appreciated your presentation. I am really thinking about some type of online business but I have a question. Like what else would be a good fit for this shopify store that would use the printing and shipping service of the company you featured?
hey really great video easy to follow and direct, i have one question with shopify can you add video content in the blog posts?
bravo! superb video! :D
Great insight...Thx.
Interesting idea!
Thank you, Lucas! I took 5 pages of notes...
Thank you so much! This was VERY inspirational!
More Nutrients Happy to hear it!

Thank you very much for the video! But how much does shopify cost after the 14 day free trial?

chris singh Thanks, happy to hear it!
I love Shopify! I'm currently working on a digital product (cleaning course) and I'll be using Shopify again to host it
Great Video!

awsome! thank u:)

Tried Messaging you but couldnt, do you guys print on transferable paper that can be shipped to me and i apply them myself?
Must be of high quality
Great video
Just got this idea, no idea if I plan to implement it, but is there some way via the shopify platform to set it up so a portion of each sale goes to a charity the buyer selects at checkout? Kind of like what HumbleBundle does with games, only not with the "set your own price" model, and with more choice for the user as to where that portion of their sale is donated.
Coo! Thanks guys
thankyou for sharing
Helpful video
Thanks for the video - it was AWESOME! I read a question below regarding inventory you already have at your business. I live in New Zealand and would like to ship worldwide but the prices that my suppliers give are cheaper than those in the app store. Would Shopify be the way to go if you do not need another company (like printful) to supply, print, and ship? If not, do you have any suggestions? Thanks again.
Dude you guys rock! That's such a great video!
Zachery Bates Thank you!
+Zachery Bates Glad that *InstaSocial . net* worked! over 15k Instagram followers now :)
+Dynastic Button3 Great info. You guys can also go to *OnlineNetCareer .Com* if you're trying to make money online. This is what I've been doing and I'm happy with my results......../////////
+Zach Bates
Is this really worth it? So many people are already doing this.
+Zach Bates If anyone is interested in making money online the best results that I have had was by using the Secret Profit Crusher (just google it) definately the most helpful idea i've followed.
Shopify, would you recommend printful with shopify if you want to let customers upload their own design? sort of like vistaprint?
can you choose different colors at the sleeves on your shirt or you have to choose a speific color ?
We Are
Ready
great video
hey I just started this and I made a shirt on printful and its already on my shopify store I think I did everything from the app so do I not need to do 15:43 ? for that shirt?
I was thinking about online T shirt business. But I dont how
Thank you for the advise
Hi there Just wondering if there's a print & fulfillment service similar (links to Shopify) to this but based in the UK or at least Europe? Many Thanks
Would we be able to do wind breakers and track suits as well?
Hey guys~!!! Great video btw. You said in order to sell tshirts. We must get a commercial license. Now is that for the state we live in or just a general commercial license?
just received my degree in Graphic Design and any information helps, thanks for the tips on how to start up
are there slim fit blank t-shirts to print on?
Hey ! I am in d process of setting up a website as an hip hop artist but will be selling merchandise on my site( it will not b for selling only, just a page to sell merchandise to my fans) should I go through that full process as well? since I don't need a store front ? please give me some advise. bless.
so when someone makes a payment off of my shopify account, printful will automatically withdraw money to make the t-shirt right? and in doing so I will also make my profit through shopify right?
Excellent Info
Does printful offer custom-made inside tags?
What program should I use to make designs? Im decent at drawing, how can I transfer my drawing over to a tshirt? Scan then use some sort of software? I heard using screen press is better than heat press because heat cracks the design more. What is a good machine to start with around 500-1000 and what else is needed to start? Plain t shirt of course but anything else? Id rather do it myself and put upfront so that way im gaining more profits at the gate.
vv helpfull video for begineers,can u tell me the software full name for designing the design?what photoshop software i should buy cox there are different types.
thanx
So Great..
Brilliant! Are there any UK/France/Germany-based fulfillment centres? And in your example with Printful, if you sell one T-shirt at $30, how much net profit do you have left? Thanks
How do I manufacture shirts and have order done in house that I make plus teelaunch or Printful tee shirts?
thank you
Hi. I have a question
Do you have a design that fits the idea of making customers enter their measurements? Let’s say suit tailoring
Good job
I had cut and sew shirts made so they need to move. How and where do I keep my inventory I don't need to have the shirts made.
so if i do this will my store delete it self when the 14day trial ends? or will it be up?
This tutorial is pretty good. Anyone know which would be 'better' for selling T's and jeans; Big Cartel or Shopify ?
Unreal video ! What happens with the money in this scenario when an order is placed ? Does printful automatically take the money they are owed to fill the order ?
What about the inside label? Needing the sizing, country of origin and material. I have placed my first order with prihtful for my samples but it has been put on hold due to the lack of inside label information. They have quouted me $85 for there design team to recreate the logo with this information, surely there is cheaper way to do this? This was not mentioned in the tutorial.
What are the possible things or machines that could hit a good quality for printing a tshirt to start a small business...
About how much should it cost to produce a small batch of say, 30 t-shirts? I'm trying to make a test batch to see if I can actually sell them.
What if we want to add more than just t-shirts? How can I sell coffee mugs, for example, and use the same numbers as for the T-shirt shipping (By weight)?
thanks. i currectly making online shops for free for some businesses in Montreal and this video is inspiring.
Alireza Saberi Thanks for the feedback, good luck with your business!
Thanks. It's free for my personal experience and learning:)
+Alireza Saberi I can give you 10000k-50000k t-shirt with your design .Per pieces price will be $6

I can't don't really know how to use Reddit what's sites can I use for ppls opinions on my designs?
Is it possible to link Shopify to ebay and Amazon, how is this dobe?
One important thing to keep in mind for this is in the shipping section. Shopify sets up a default box that products are shipped in with a small weight. You need to change the weight to zero, or else your customers will be paying extra for shipping because the box weight pushes the shipping weight from .5kg to .6kg
Im Looking for a website that is very appealing and simple like shopify BUT also will print and sell my hoodies???
I don't understand where shopify products are sold. I mean, I go to ETSY as a shopping destination and AMAZON but if I go to shopify.com its is just a set up to SELL site, not a place to BUY. Do people who start a shopify store have to market their own websites? Thank u
I want to start online fashion store of women wear. So here how shopify will help me , where printful is not necessary like in t shirts designing based on printing.!
I notice a lot of the t-shirt fulfilment options are US based, are there any UK centric options available that I haven't heard about? I have yet to find a UK version of printful for example. Delivery costs are prohibitive for UK market
+def44 they are prohibitive for any market outside the US.
have you ever thought that maybe, THAT is a niche market? (creating a t-shirt fulfilment company)
so how/where can i get the t-shirts? also, when/where does the DTG happen?
would you recommend copyrighting your brand name before starting up?
Great video! I just have one question. I noticed you uploaded the same mock up design a couple times in different colors to your website. Is it possible to just upload it once but giving the customer the option to click on the color of the shirt they'd like to order, that way you don't need to upload all the designs in different colors?
Martin Martinez You don't need to upload a photo for each colour available but it might help get you that sale if a customer can see all possible variants.
I am currently in the process of starting my own online clothing label etc, i am from Australia, does this site cater for Australians to sell there products online because i noticed it said UK, USA, CANADA only i think...............Cheers
Great video, thank you! I would like to know how would I go about still using the app, but with my own tshirt suppliers. example I have a tshirt supplier already. So all I need is a site to sell the shirts and ship directly, could this still work? Thanks! not sure if that makes sense) or would I have to create my own site. And link the suppliers etc.
Nonj Mkhize You could definitely use Shopify to power your online t-shirt shop. To get started and test out the features, we have a 14-day free trial: bit.ly/P8VZZo. The apps provide the full package; supply, print and ship so you would use them for every step of the way!
I have started a online shopping page on Facebook for T-shirts. Hope for success. And Thanks 😊 for this video.
Bangladesh
Make a video of how to photograph your T-shirts!
Are there mobile site templates as well?
Do they offer pocket t's also?
Thanks, I own a camping website that I have been aching to monify in this way. I have Photoshop, and a few rough designs. I think that Shopify (with the help of this video) may just be the ticket. It will take a little more work, but if it was easy everybody would be doing it. Truth is, Shopify is pretty easy. Once I conquer the learning curve it'll be "Game-on."
Trent Winston Awesome - keep us posted Trent!
