The easiest way to set your prices is by using a data-driven tool that pulls data from multiple sources to determine how much people will pay. This sort of thing comes standard in any ecommerce/dropshipping/market research tool, like the ones we’ve mentioned above.
However, some print-on-demand providers offer profit margin calculators for free on the site or as part of a monthly subscription. For example, Placeit has one that shows the cost of each product and how much you'll make based on how much you sell it for.

However, it is important to note that these tools only provide information about non-custom/unique consumer products; value is determined based on factors such as materials, brand, scarcity, etc.
The challenge is that you'll need to consider how much your designs are worth – think about how much time you spent working on the design, researching your market, hiring people to help you design, market, photograph your products, etc.

Sites like Custom Cat and SPOD offer two-day order delivery, which is a key selling point given that customers now expect e-commerce orders to appear within a few days.
For “simple” products like t-shirts and bags, suppliers that move quickly may be your best bet . Though you’ll want to make sure they don’t sacrifice quality for speed.
For more "specialized" products, it's best to focus on quality and craftsmanship.
For example, Teelaunch orders take 3-6 days to produce, but many of their products vnpay database more complex customizations, such as engravings and alterations.
The main goal here is to make sure that products on your store arrive within the advertised time frame – as long as you’re upfront about products with a longer delivery time, customers shouldn’t have a problem with waiting. TLDR: Don’t promise Amazon speeds if you can’t deliver.
There are two different types of print-on-demand providers. Print-on-demand services (like the ones mentioned above) allow you to design directly from the platform. Or, you can upload files from external sources.
Print-on-demand marketplaces are similar in that you can design products within the platform and the supplier handles shipping and fulfillment. The difference is that the marketplace model requires users to sell designs on that same platform alongside other sellers.
The problem with POD marketplaces is that they don’t allow you to build your brand outside of the platform, which limits your ability to grow a sustainable business across multiple platforms.
Beyond making sure your PoD provider allows you to push designs to a second location, direct integrations with platforms like Shopify , Etsy, Amazon, eBay, etc. , can save you a lot of time. Some options integrate only with Shopify, while others can support your entire omnichannel ecosystem.
