Quick answers about how Print On Demand works on Fourthwall
Frequently asked questions
What is Print On Demand?
Print On Demand (POD) is a production method where an item is only printed after someone places an order. There’s no pre-printing, no inventory, and no upfront stock risk. Your design is sent to the manufacturing partner, who produces it, and it ships directly to your supporter.
Are there any minimums?
None. You can sell one item or a thousand. POD lets you launch products without worrying about leftover inventory or storage costs.
What can I create with POD?
You get full creative freedom. Add your designs to hundreds of products like apparel, posters, mugs, cards, accessories, and more. You focus on the art; Fourthwall and its production partners handle printing and delivery.
What’s a print shop?
A print shop is the manufacturer that produces your items. They utilize methods such as DTG (direct-to-garment), DTFx (direct-to-film), embroidery, sublimation, or screen printing, depending on the product.
Is POD the same as dropshipping?
Not quite. Dropshipping uses pre-made items that ship immediately. POD items are made specifically for your supporter after purchase, fully customized with your design.
What happens after an order is placed?
- Your design is sent to the manufacturing partner
- They print the item on demand
- The order ships within a few days
