Print On Demand Vs Dropshipping
Today, we going to be talking about two different businesses: Dropshipping, Print-on-Demand. But a lot of people confuse them. What’s Dropshipping and Print-on-Demand? and what are the sides of the contrast?
1. What is the Difference Between Them?
Print on Demand (POD)
POD is clear of its name, this model allows you to create products (like t-shirts, hoodies, books, and more items) only after your customers’ requests.
There are a lot of Print on Demand platforms like Redbubble, Spreadshirt, Zazzle, TeePublic, and more.
The great for this business is that they will set up your store and you don’t need to customize it. Just create creative designs and upload them to your store for free!
Dropshipping
Dropshipping is a simple process that required you to set up your own store and let the rest for suppliers who take care of your orders and shipping directly to your customers.
The better thing about Dropshipping is that you don’t need to have stock for products. when you get orders from customers, then the suppliers will send the products to these customers.
Some of the Dropshipping suppliers are Printify, Printful, Printaura, gooten, Customcat, Teelaunch, and so on.
Also, there are such as Oberlo and Aliexpress, but in these companies, you can sell the finished products through your website and you will get a commission per sale.
