Gooten: Print on Demand

Setting up my Gooten account and connecting it to my Shopify store was super easy. The design guides and uploading custom design features were easy to understand. I love the range of print-on-demand products they offer and I can't wait to keep expanding my shop offerings.

great selection and prices, especially for phone cases and I like that they have the bio cases, though I wish they had them in the black as well. The tee generator is a tad bit wonky to use. It should auto fit files to every size and it is hard to maneuver the file image on the product and i wish there were more tee selections. Great app overall and has all you need to run a print on demand shop.

I've ordered samples of mugs, bandanas and a 5x7 canvas wrap print, and all have come out well. The mugs are high quality. I can see how t-shirts would be a nightmare to sell through Gooten given the mockup and variant challenges, but give it a chance if you're selling something with only one or two sizes and no other variations. The prices are lower than anything else I've found. Shipping costs are complex but again can be gotten around if your store and variants aren't complex.

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!

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

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 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!

Gooten has pretty good quality printing. Their stock apparel is pretty good material as well. The only problem I've had is products can sit as "shipped" status for days before it actually reaches the carrier. (UPS, USPS, FEDEX, DHL)

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.
