- Hostings announced a new native integration with printful
- Customers can order different visuals to be printed on mugs, t-shirts and home decor
- Print On Demand makes inventory unnecessary while reducing costs in advance
Print-on-demand (POD) has now reached it to hostings, allowing its users to satisfy all their pod and dropshipping fulfillment services without ever leaving the platform.
Pod is a business model where customers can order different visuals to print on mugs, t-shirts and home decor, which is only printed after the order is placed. It eliminates the need for stock and reduces costs in advance, reduces the risk of businesses and makes them more flexible to passing trends.
One of the more popular services in the pod industry is printed, and in a new press release shared with the Techradar Pro recently, it was said that printful integrates with hostings, one of the best site builders out there.
“With the growing potential of print-on-demand, we introduced this feature to launch a custom product store quickly and simple,” said Auksė Žirgulė, head of Hostinger Website Builder. “Using our AI engine, anyone with an idea can generate a fully functional store, with printed handling of fulfillment and global delivery within minutes. The best part? You never touch stock, never pack a box and you keep the profits.”
Printful of extension of range
It’s all about generative AI. Users can first create a fully functioning site and store in minutes by simply talking to an AI bot. Then users can connect it to printful, upload their designs, choose products and start selling. Both companies promise that from idea to execution it will take no more than a few hours.
This is not Printful’s first foray for site construction providers. In mid -March of this year, a similar integration with Wix was announced. Businesses were promised access and control of “critical touch points of print-on-demand and the dropshipping solution” as well as the ability to adapt merchandise with fire logos and other art.
As Printful prioritizes locally produced products (through its network of fulfillment centers), the distribution is faster and shipping costs are lower, while the on-demand operation model helps eliminate overproduction and remove the need for storage.
Owain is the site builders’ editor at Techradar. He has over 7 years of experience using, researching and testing site builders and has interviewed key managers from all the best site building platforms, including hostings, Wix and Squarespace.
Hostinger’s latest integration with Printful will help small businesses lock a new income stream without the usual hassle and admin associated with creating an online store.
Those considering POD should be aware that the profit margins tend to be slim on a sales product sale. This is a natural exchange to get everything done for you. Companies that generate a reasonable income from POD tend to focus on selling in volume.
However, companies that are not product -focused can also take advantage of the platform. I personally use printful for my service -based business (martial arts classes). Using Pod allows me to offer big brand Merchandize without the hassle of running an online store – which means I can focus on what matters, create lesson plans and care for my students.
Pod is also popular with content creators who offer them an easy way to make money from their audience.
