How much profit can I make from print on demand on Etsy?↓
A typical Etsy POD t-shirt at £24.99 with a £8.50 Printful base cost and £3.99 shipping generates around £9.50–10 net profit (38–40% margin) after Etsy fees. Margins above 35% are achievable with correct pricing. Most successful Etsy POD sellers use the 2.5–3× base cost rule as a starting point.
Should I offer free shipping on Etsy POD listings?↓
Yes, for most products. Etsy's algorithm favours free shipping listings and buyers strongly prefer them. Build your POD shipping cost into the product price. For example, if Printful charges £3.99 to ship, add that to your base price and list as free shipping. Your Etsy transaction fee will apply to the higher item price, but the conversion improvement usually outweighs this.
