Frequently Asked Questions

How much profit can I make per shirt with Printify?
A Bella+Canvas 3001 costs about $11.55 base + $4.49 US shipping on the Free plan. Sold at $27.99 on Etsy with free shipping: Etsy takes ~$2.99 in fees, leaving roughly $8.96 profit per shirt (32% margin). Premium-plan discounts of up to 20% on base cost can add $2+ per shirt at volume.
Is Printify Premium worth it?
Premium costs $39/month ($24.99/month billed annually) and cuts base costs by up to 20%. On a $11.55 shirt that saves ~$2.31 per sale, so break-even is about 17 sales/month on the monthly plan (about 11/month on the annual plan). If you consistently sell 20+ POD items a month, Premium almost always pays for itself.
What fees do I pay besides Printify's base cost?
Printify itself charges nothing beyond base cost + shipping (Free plan). Your selling platform is the real fee layer: Etsy takes ~9.5% + $0.20 listing, Shopify takes 2.9% + $0.30 (Basic with Shopify Payments) plus the monthly plan. This calculator combines both layers to show true net profit.
Should I charge customers for POD shipping or offer free shipping?
On Etsy, roll shipping into the price and offer free shipping — Etsy charges 6.5% on shipping you bill anyway, and free-shipping listings tend to convert better. On Shopify, either works; just make sure the price covers the $4.49+ first-item shipping Printify charges you.
Are the preloaded Printify prices accurate?
They are July 2026 estimates for US domestic fulfillment on popular products (Bella+Canvas 3001, Gildan 18500, 11oz mug). Printify prices vary by print provider and change over time — always confirm in your Printify catalog before setting final prices, and override the numbers in this calculator with your actuals.
