Are you looking to customize products with your unique designs and sell them under your brand? The Zendrop Print-On-Demand (POD) feature allows you to do just that! With POD, you can create custom products that help you stand out in the marketplace.

Accessing Print-On-Demand on Zendrop

  1. Log in to Your Zendrop Account: From the main menu on the left-hand side, click on the Catalog option.

  2. Browse POD Product Categories: Explore various POD product categories and select the products you want to customize.

Using the Print-On-Demand Feature

Choose a product from the POD catalog and click on it to start designing. Use the built-in design builder tool to customize it with your unique designs.

Design Builder Tool Overview:

Products Tab: Select colors and sizes you want to offer. Add your custom design to multiple areas such as the front, back, sleeves, outside label, and inside label.

Layers Tab: Every element you add to your design appears here. Use the three-dot icon to duplicate a layer, delete layers, or lock a layer in place with the lock icon.

File Tab: Have existing images or designs? Click on File to upload them directly.

Text Tab: Add custom text by typing in your own words or choosing from the available text options. You can also delete the element by clicking the "x" at the top.

Clipart Tab: Access a variety of clipart to enhance your design, or add your images.

Fill Tab: Create the perfect all-over print design with a variety of colorful options.

Help Tab: Click the Help icon at the bottom left to view general shortcuts for easier navigation.

Mockups Tab: Preview your design before finalizing it.

Save Your Work:

  • Click on Save Draft to resume customization later.

  • Click on Create Product once you’re satisfied with the design.

Important Note: For the best print quality, ensure your images have a resolution of at least 150 DPI.

Managing Your Templates

Once your product is created, it will be on the "My Templates" page, where you can:

  • Resume Editing: Continue working on saved drafts.

  • Review Information: Check product details.

  • Delete Products: Remove any products you no longer need.

  • Manage Import List: Add or remove products from your import list.

  • Check Status: View the current status of your products (e.g., added to store, saved as a draft).

  • Place Sample Orders: Click on the product to test the final product by placing a sample order.

  • Create New Products: Start a new design by clicking "Create New" from the top right side of the "My Templates" page.

Important Notes:

  • To import POD products, you'll need to be on the Plus or Select plan.

  • With the Free or Pro plan, you can browse the catalog and create POD products, but you'll need to upgrade to add them to the import list.

Use the powerful Print-On-Demand feature provided by Zendrop to create, manage, and sell custom-designed products effortlessly, boosting your brand’s uniqueness in the market. With seamless integration to your store and automated order fulfillment, you can expand your product offerings to meet the dynamic demands of your customers without the hassle of minimum order quantities.
