Print on demand (POD) products have been very popular recently, especially in the field of fashion, and to be more specific: T-shirt. Print on demand means you create a market in which T-shirt will be self-designed and delivered to customers only when they order.

Compared to other direct sale system, POD involves a small capital demand, attracting more and more businessmen and small/medium-sized agencies into the market. To build a POD T-shirt WordPress site, there are plenty of e-commerce platforms you can choose, however, in this article, we will only focus on one platform: Shopify – Shopify Beginner’s Guide: Setting Up Your T-shirt Store

Needless to say, visual appeal is always an important factor to create a friendly first impression to customers. Shopify has over 100 design themes. Choose one that you feel most suitable to your website spirit or manually customize your own theme.
  • Step 3: Add products. Go back to the first dashboard and click “add a product” and you will be in the right place. In this step, don’t skip any blanks to fill in. That means, don’t just simply drop a picture of the product, add more specific information of it to describe your goods and service as detailed as possible. You can add its name, a short and precise description, price, weight, size, color,…
