I'm an author and have been using The Portl App since the summer when the creators of the app found me at a book signing! They are really creative and so helpful with any idea. They did a book box for me for one of my books and it did so well. The quality of everything was phenomenal and my readers were really happy. I can't wait to continue building the store with Portls! The customer service is the best as they truly do everything to make sure their customers have the greatest experience. You really can't get better than these guys!

First off - I am an author and run an author business. My experience with Portl App has been beyond first class.

They have worked with me directly to develop unique, new merch to offer to my fans, handled all aspects of production and delivery, all while doing it on demand so there is no upfront costs for me.

They've bent over backwards in customer service. Anytime I've fun into an issue, or something wasn't working right on the app they responded so fast my head would spin.

They truly care about making a top notch app and high quality merchandise too. I've gotten samples of the pieces they've designed and they are to a one very high quality.

I can't recommend them high enough. They've been fantastic.

We’ve been using Portal to fulfill some of our Hello Oregano products, and honestly—it’s been amazing. The 5-day delivery across the U.S. has been super reliable, and it takes so much stress off our plate knowing our customers are getting their orders fast.

As a small team, we really appreciate that Portal handles all the packing and shipping. It frees up our time to focus on what we actually love doing: designing and coming up with new ideas. We don’t have to worry about inventory, and there are no subscriptions or weird hidden fees—just pay per order.

The products look great, the customer support is always there when we need them, and setup was super simple. If you’re a creative brand like us and want to scale without losing your sanity, Portal is 100% worth checking out.
