Starting an Etsy Store Selling Print on Demand designs can be a great way to turn your creative ideas into a profitable business. In this post, we will walk you through the steps of setting up an Etsy store and how to use print on demand services to fulfill orders.

Step 1: Set up Etsy store.

Sign up for an Etsy account The first step in setting up an Etsy store is to create an account on their website. You will need to provide some basic information such as your name, email address, and a password.

Step 2: Creating A Listing.

Create a listing Once your account is set up, you can start creating your first listing. This is where you will upload your print on demand designs and provide information such as the product title, description, and price. Make sure to include high-quality images of your designs and be detailed in your product description.

Step 3: Pick a POD service.

Choose a print on demand service There are a number of print on demand services that you can use to fulfill orders for your Etsy store. Some popular options include Printful, Printify, and Printed Mint. Each service has its own set of features and pricing, so be sure to compare them before making a decision.

Step 4: Connect POD service to Etsy store.

Connect your store to the print on demand service Once you have chosen a print on demand service, you will need to connect it to your Etsy store. This is usually done through an app or plugin. Follow the instructions provided by the service to connect your store.

TIP: Design your mockups in Canva for each listing on the Etsy shop.

Step 5: Setup Payment & Shipping.

Set up payment and shipping The final step is to set up payment and shipping for your store. You can use Etsy’s built-in payment and shipping options or connect to a third-party service. Be sure to set your shipping rates and taxes accordingly. Make sure to include the cost of shipping in the price of your products.
