In their own words
Gooten
Gooten provides print-on-demand order management and fulfillment, routing orders to production partners that make and ship products through a global network. Its catalog includes more than 500 customizable products across apparel, wall art, drinkware, home goods, and accessories. Orders connected through Shopify, Etsy, TikTok Shop, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce can be processed, produced, and shipped automatically. Merchants can also use a custom API or place manual one-off orders, including samples through the Gooten hub after registration. Product setup supports uploading designs and setting customer prices for product variants. Customers pay the merchant through the store; Gooten charges the merchant for processed orders. There is no membership or hidden fee, but production and shipping are charged when orders are processed, with costs varying by product and destination. Catalog pricing can be viewed or exported in the Gooten Admin, which requires an account. WooCommerce support is limited because WooCommerce is self-hosted, and using the API requires technical and coding skills.
