Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about getting started, pricing, shipping and branding with Dreamship.

Getting started

What is print on demand?

Print on demand is a way to sell custom products without buying inventory. Each product is printed only after a customer orders it, then shipped straight to that customer. With Dreamship, you put your designs on 300+ products and sell them in your own store or on marketplaces. Dreamship prints and ships every order for you.

How do I start a print on demand business with Dreamship?

Create a free Dreamship account and connect your Shopify, Etsy or TikTok Shop store. Add your designs to products in the Designer and publish them with mockups. Orders then import into Dreamship automatically. Submit them, or set them to submit on their own, and Dreamship prints and ships each one, with tracking sent back to your store.

Which platforms does Dreamship work with?

Dreamship connects to Shopify, Etsy, TikTok Shop, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, WooCommerce and BigCommerce. You can also send orders through the Dreamship API, a spreadsheet upload or Order Desk. With the Dreamship MCP connector, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity can check your orders, look up costs and create products for you.

Pricing and shipping

How much does Dreamship cost?

Dreamship is free to start. On the Basic plan, you pay only for the orders you place.

Orders and branding

No. Dreamship has no minimum order on any product, so you can order a single item or thousands.

Can I use Dreamship for print on demand dropshipping?
