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.
Printful
Printful provides print-on-demand production, fulfillment, and shipping for merchants’ custom products. Items are produced after a customer orders, so sellers do not need to purchase or warehouse inventory in advance; payment is due after an order. Its Design Maker includes tools and resources for designs and mockups, and listed production methods include direct-to-garment, embroidery, all-over printing, sublimation, and direct-to-film. The Free plan includes access to 563 custom products, unlimited stores, 10 Quick Stores, 22 ecommerce platform and marketplace integrations, and 24/7 customer support. Integrations include Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, Amazon, Wix, and TikTok Shop. Printful offers Android and iOS apps for confirming orders and managing a store, along with a REST API for orders, sales, mockups, and custom solutions. Fulfillment coverage is global, with orders shipped from the nearest fulfillment center; Printful says 86% are fulfilled in the customer’s region. Growth costs $24.99 a month and includes up to 33% off product pricing, plus a 14-day trial. Enterprise pricing is custom.
