Gooten: Print on Demand

we have chosen gooten as our preferred pod partner because of their great products and great support and our choice has proven to be great

Gooten was an absolute game changer for my business. We were using a well known competitor for many months but product prices were too high and customer support was not nearly as good as we needed. That's when we luckily found Gooten and overnight we double our margins on our products (apparel and art). Since then Gooten has printed over 300 items for us WITHOUT 1 issue and customer service has been outstanding!

They also have tons of unique products which makes it really easy to try different products for your niche to see what sticks.

I highly encourage any entrepreneur that is looking to partner with a manufacturer for printing/fulfillment to take a serious look at Gooten because in my opinion they are the best player out there.

The app integrates seamlessly to your website and couldn't be easier to use. I use Gooten for print on demand photography prints. The products have been great and service is quick.

I use this app for stickers. Awesome service and super fast, glad I found them.
Definitely recommended.

All my customers love the can coolers from gooten! Highly recommend this POD service for those hard to find products!

I was able to easily integrate the app onto my website (although there settings that I needed to configure directly on the Wooten website).

Download app was easy.
I just used this app and it was easy to work with. For me as artist, got product choices and I love Acrylic blocks!

Gooten is filling a niche in connecting artists and designers with manufacturers and the resulting products into Shopify. No other company has managed to do it on such a large scale as Gooten. Their app isn't perfect, but it works well and they are continuously improving the app and reaching out to their customers for feedback. I've also been very impressed with their customer service, they are responsive and professional. This company has already managed to do great things and from what I've seen, it is only just the beginning!

What I like :
>> GENERAL
- superb partner support
- products are reviewed by real people before getting printed (with default review request option as ON)
- production costs are low
- packaging : keeps products safe
- shipping tracking is UPS (pillow) and USPS (sticker) - trackable and if not, can contact partner support for follow-up
- edits in shopify show up in gooten products
- the only print of demand for stickers and folded cards that cater to non-bulk or single order items I have found!!

>> PRODUCT SPECIFIC :
- folded card : print quality of image is fantastic (McCoy Silk double side)
- stickers : quality of material is good - really peels easy and can be restuck and the cut is smooth
- throw pillow : highly recommended (image print quality is awesome and materials feel high quality - tried cotton and poly twill 14x14 and 20x20)

What I don't like :
- shipping is too expensive for folded cards for international shipping
- guides are not easily accessible (product image dimensions in pixels and bleed margins but a partner support person gave me access to the document in our email convo)
- folded card : not reviewed even with review option on and the resulting image placement on card did not match the mockup (the image was centered in the mockup but the actual product had no margin on the right side on the front cover and not margin on the left side in the left inside page) - order was resent to me but I was billed without my consent.
***Update*** they replaced the card free of charge and shipped it to me at no cost too. So very kind of them. They took back the charge.
- sticker : image quality is a bit grainy
- sticker : option limited to vinyl and is kiss-cut not really die-cut (also no option to make margin between kisscut edge and image smaller)
- packaging : no branding options
- 2 or more pack image replacement/upload process is a bit confusing (sometimes I can only upload 1 image for all "pages" sometimes I can upload multiple images for each "page" in a pack)

I will definitely continue to use Gooten. I would love for more options to be available and the rough edges smoothened out.

I use this app for my online store selling t-shirts and so far I have really liked it the one thing is I add new designs everyday and when adding a new design on gooten you have to adjust it for every size and color its very tidies and takes a lot of time. On other sites you just have to put it on one shirt and it does the rest for you.
