What is drop shipping

So, what exactly is dropshipping?

Dropshipping is an eCommerce business model where you sell products online without holding stock. When a customer orders, it’s sent to a dropshipping supplier who manages the fulfilment process – from packing to shipping. You run the online store, while your supplier handles operations behind the scenes.

Printful has been there since day one

My partner and I started Gay Pride Apparel in 2019 as a side business. After a year and a half, we quit our day jobs and decided to focus on our store full time. Printful has been there since day one. They have been our best partner by far.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trending dropshipping products often follow the seasons. Think about toques, hoodies, and sweatshirts for the colder months, and t-shirts, tank tops, and hats for the summer. Evergreen products like mugs and phone cases are popular year-round. The best product is one that fits your niche and brand.

Absolutely. With Printful, there are no monthly fees or startup costs. Your main initial expense will be setting up your online store (e.g., a Shopify subscription). C$100 is more than enough to get started and run your first marketing campaigns.

Start by choosing your niche. Then, register your business (as a sole proprietorship, for example) and understand your obligations for collecting sales tax (GST/PST/HST) with the CRA. After that, you can set up your online store, connect it to Printful, create your products, and start marketing.

The biggest challenges are fierce competition and less control over the fulfilment process. That's why building a unique brand with Print on Demand is so powerful – it helps you stand out and create a loyal customer base.
