How to start your Online T-shirt Boutique?

You piggyback over suppliers who already doing it and will do all the work for you. The concept is called dropshipping. It's a unique retail business model where you sell directly from the manufacturer who takes care of all the packaging, inventory & shipping. All you've got to do is sell & order when a customer buys from YOU.

One such manufacturer is Printful. They allow you to design and create your own range of T-Shirts and sell them online without having to hold any inventory. Their website is not only easy to navigate but they can also be integrated with several E-Commerce Platforms like Etsy, Shopify, eBay, Amazon, WooCommerce, WordPress and more.

Working with Printful is easy. You create your design, upload them on their Mock Up Generator and see the final product. You can sync them on your store through the website or add them manually. The choice is yours. Once your customer buys the product, it either gets automatically sent to the website, they create your T-Shirt and ship it out to your customer. It's that simple!
