How PODpickr works — the right Print on Demand service for your shop

PODpickr helps you find a Print on Demand service that matches what and where you want to sell — without trawling through dozens of catalogs and price lists. Just answer a few questions and we translate the rest into concrete criteria and match them against our database of POD platforms (Printful, Printify, Gelato, and more).

1. Answer a few questions

The configurator guides you through a few steps. We ask what you want to make and sell (t-shirts and apparel, posters and prints, mugs, merch), where you sell (Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, or your own site), where you ship, the volume you expect, and what matters most to you on price. No question requires knowing print techniques — we speak the language of your shop, not the print floor.

2. We translate needs into criteria

We turn your answers into concrete requirements — product categories, fulfillment region, native integrations with your sales channel, base-price level, print techniques (DTG and others), and branding options. This is where the magic happens: we connect what you want to sell with what a service must actually be able to produce and ship.

What we take into account

Beyond product fit, we weigh the location of print facilities relative to your customers (delivery times and shipping), the base price and therefore your margin, native integrations, print quality, and the reliability of the service. It's the base price — what your margin depends on — not the size of the catalog, that decides how much you actually earn on each sale.

3. We calculate a score

Every POD service in our database gets a score based on how well it covers your requirements across five criteria: product fit, price and margins, fulfillment region, integrations, and reliability. The scoring is transparent and objective — it works with real parameters and prices, not with who pays us a higher commission. Services that miss key requirements never make it into the results.

4. You pick from the results

At the end you get a ranked list of recommendations with a clear explanation of why we chose each one. For every service you see the base price, the key parameters (print countries, integrations, techniques), and a link straight to the provider. The decision is always yours — we just save you hours of comparing catalogs.
