What it is
Zazzle is an on-demand marketplace where customers can shop for products featuring artists’ designs and personalize them. When the creator permits it, customers can change text, reposition or resize images, rearrange design layers, and add text or images. Creators can use the Maker Platform without joining, setup, or listing fees; Zazzle takes a commission when a sale is made, and makers may sell their products elsewhere too. Store options include Zazzle storefronts, RSS feeds, and a URL linkover-based Create-a-Product API for dynamic images and text. API users can choose products and lock design elements against customer edits on Zazzle. The iOS and Android apps support shopping, designing, collaboration, uploading phone photos, and shipment tracking. Zazzle says its marketplace has over 50 million unique designs and a community of over 900,000 independent creators. The free plan is available. Optional Zazzle Plus costs $19.95 a year, billed annually, while Zazzle Plus Premium costs $49.95 a year, billed annually. Their shipping benefits are limited to qualifying products and eligible U.S. addresses.
