NinjaPOD: DTF Print on Demand

Been using NinjaPOD for our taekwondo school for a few months now. This app/company has made our t-shirt, sweatshirt, and jacket orders so easy. We used to do pre-orders before and now all we have to do is design the garment and that's it!

We've tried a few different POD services but nobody had the great quality that Ninja offers.

Truly appreciate this business!

I’m deleting this app from my store. I paid for an order, waited three weeks, and then they cancelled my order without any notice or communication. That is unacceptable, especially when you’re running a business and depending on orders to be fulfilled on time.

If there was an issue, I should have been contacted before the order was cancelled. The lack of communication caused delays and made the whole experience frustrating. I would not recommend using this app if you need reliable fulfillment and proper customer support.

Better mock up and product viewing needed (zooming). Also ease of multiple selection of item with graphic variation for a T-shirt. For example same graphic, but needs adjusting on different color shirts. App not easy to figure out.

this app is one o the worst app I've dealt with, They charge too much $$ to send back a product that looks cheap.. Didnt know its a screen print company only.. I'm deleting my account.. To Shopify not all apps are good apps, know who you do business with.. minus 5 star

I have been needing shirts completed for a school event and Justyne has been helping me with very question I have. She is polite, knowledgeable and always willing to help. I definitely recommend NinjaPod to anyone needing POD!

Great experience with all orders! Had to reach out to CS for a question and Justyn was very quick and knowledgable with her response!

After more than 5 years of working with POD suppliers that only print designs using mainly DTG, losing so much money buying poorly printed samples, I finally had enough and decided to find a POD supplier that does DTF printing. DTG just doesn't work well with dark colors and most of my customers want dark colors. I was so happy to find Ninja POD and was super excited to see that they are strictly DTF, but I've worked with companies in the past with faded DTF images, so I ordered samples to test Ninja POD to see if their designs would come out as bright as they stated in their advertisement. I just received my sample of products with various designs and colors on different articles of apparel from Ninja POD and true to their claim, their images were super bright, and I am so excited to begin this new partnership with them. I will be rebuilding my entire Shopify store apparel all with Ninja POD products. I know it'll will be a lot of work, but it's worth it to know that I will be able to trust that every design in my store will have bright vivid images on the apparel I sell regardless of the color. Thank you so much for sticking with DTF. It's the best!!!

Justyn from Ninja POD, helped us out a great deal, one of our customers ordered the incorrect size on a shiurt and also input the incorrect address. Justyn took care of it within minutes after talking, corrected the size and the address. Cant say enough about this kind of customer service.

I've had very good tech support from Ninja POD. I'm not a big fan of email-based support, but the techs get back to me quickly and resolve my issues.

I really struggled with the Ninja POD app when I first started out. There is definitely a series of steps that need to be taken and the order that they're taken is important. Be aware that there is a learning curve and you may have to learn a couple of things the hard way.

The app does have its quirks. For me, the product syncing is the most finicky and will often double my mockups. This requires manually deleting the extras which doesn't take that long, but is a little irritating.

I've generated a wish list for the Ninja POD team and hope they can make some changes to the app to work a bit better for me and reduce my workload.

The biggest issue is editing and resyncing every single product in a collection of 140+ t-shirts when there is a color variant correction, for instance. That is the challenge I'm facing now. My advice is to make absolutely sure your color variants are correctly displaying prior to creating a lot of products or you are in for a tremendous amount of work.

I would also highly recommend that you provide artwork instructions to the design team when you first upload your artwork. Don't count on the team to position your artwork "correctly" and don't wait to add the instructions. If you have to add the artwork instructions later you could be in for a lot of work since the instructions have to be added to each product and not to a collection.

Another issue is the way the app adds color variants. If you want the colors in order like you would see on the shelf of a typical department store, you have to add the colors to your product one by one. Entering in 5 at a time in bulk like the app allows will add them in random order and if you have 12 color variants you will have to rearrange them all (and all the mockups) once you publish your product. That is a pain in the butt done once, but if you ever have to resync your product - and you will - you have to rearrange them all again.

The last thing on my wish list that I can remember concerns the templates. These should be huge time-savers, but a template does not maintain the color variant order of the product you're making the template from. So, it really does you no good since you're back to having to rearrange all the variants in the shop.

I wouldn't let any of these issues keep you from using Ninja POD and the app. Creating this app and integrating Ninja POD with Shopify was super tough and the app works well once you learn its limitations and what you need to do. This is a good company and the Ninja POD team is very receptive to customer concerns.

Just downloaded this app after using Printify an Printful for years.

Some things I like:

It's Super easy to publish to your Shopify Store. One Button!

Each Step is very user friendly, and I was able to set it up quickly.

The catalogue is huge! Lots coming soon too.

It has options to view the product on Shopify, unpublish, edit, save as template, duplicate and archive, all on the same page as the product editing page. Instead of separate pages.

They also tell you up front what the inventory looks like, as opposed to red text after you've published a product.

Things I DON'T love, that could use some updates:

Editing the Profit margins is very complicated to locate. You have to select all the products and click a small "bulk edit" button. It caused some Minor Frustration.

I'm not finding an option to edit colors separately.

You also have to select the colors before proceeding to the edit page (you can add or subtract more later)

You're only allowed 6 colors (It Makes sense in a way, but I like being able to offer all colors with specific designs for lights and darks under one product listing).

The Pre-listed description of products, doesn't list enough detail, or add any ad language. I have to go in and edit each description to add details and sales language. Whereas, the others already have something loaded that I can make minor edits to.

I'm not seeing any AOP products, or items you can edit multiple sides. It looks like mostly traditional logo placements.

Lastly, I had to give it 4 stars for the over-use of AI. The actors in the ads are AI, and a lot of the shop function is also AI powered. As a store that is catering to artists, it's a bit in poor taste not to hire them for their marketing. I am disappointed in that aspect of this company.

Overall, I'm going to see how a few items do, and order some samples. The prices honestly seem pretty comparable to Printify, but they do have some less expensive options of products that are spendy otherwise.
