    You mentioned shopify which will cost you a lot more than just building your own store if you're selling anything. They charge a fee for every sale and do foes paypal. Why not cut the extra fee? Plus shoplify has the worst back end. You still have to pay for extra plugins you'll want anyway. There are only zero shopify fees on accounts that use shopify payments to process credit cards. If you use paypal or any other payment gateway it's a different story. It's very misleading.

    I'm curious how you plan on fulfillment if you're not going to buy your own press (they're cheap). But POD - setting up screens and ink for one shirt at a time is lol. U don't plan on printing at least small batches at a time? 100 or so? It's not a huge inventory but I can't imagine it's worth it otherwise. Threadless must be a pretty big operation by now. Surely they keep a baseline of inventory on hand.

    As a consumer I find POD shirts are expensive for the quality. Prints often not using a screen printing process.

    • Magento stores start around 5k to build, I can build shopify on my own.canoe
    • I'm not at the level of threadless, so there's no way I'd risk 10-15k.canoe
