Gooten: Print on Demand

Great selection and fairly user-friendly.

What would make it 5 stars:

• Automatic shipping price integration with Shopify (like Printful has)
• View & edit automatic order emails
• Bulk-edit some but not all product variants
• Duplicate draft products
• Save draft products
• More clear language on the order status back-end pages

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!

In theory they are good, but the reality is the print quality is very average at best many times. The customer support is back and forth via emails which is not ideal at all for me....they should at least have the ability to do online chat support. Gooten is good for average print needs, but don't expect PRO lab quality results for higher end clients or anything because you will be disappointed I'm afraid. Definitely not a Bay Photo or anything for those that know. Good for the mass quality prints that don't require perfection.

I highly recommend using Gooten goot product to have in your back pcket.

I have fantastic experiences with this print on demand company, Gooten! Their product quality exceeded my expectations, the user-friendly dashboard made the whole process a breeze, and the prices were incredibly reasonable. What impresse me the most is their extensive product variety, allowing me to find exactly what I need. Highly recommended!

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've been very satisfied with Gooten. They are hands on and they care about their clients. Integration between them and Shopify is smooth and extremely easy to do.

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.
