dimkr,

I'm thinking about opening a merch store, because I desperately need winter shirts but also because I'd like to set up a "staging" instance for QA purposes ($5/mo) and collect some funds for work on PostgreSQL+Redis support and horizontal scaling ($$$/mo). Any recommendations other than https://www.spri.ng/?

Yes I would recommend ditching that idea and go for contracting with a print shop (There are thousands), then self-hosting with , OpenCart, Magento or Drupal Commerce - Whatev, but . And keep ALL of your money.

dimkr,

@tallship Does this mean I need to buy shirts, keep them in stock, send to printing, pack each shirt and send it?

Not at all. My basic golden rule is: Always self-host and always use FOSS wherever possible. Here's just one of dozen's of providers that print on demand and will dropship with your own company logo and return address, and they work with WooCommerce too.

And you can set up your own merchant account in 5 minutes at stripe.com.

Thanks for tootik I love it! and I hope that helps :)

dimkr,

@tallship Thank you very much, this helps a lot. No upfront costs and dropshipping is perfect.

I'm very glad to have helped. I'll hit you up natively via my tootik account tomorrow. My cert is on Lagrange on my laptop and I'm on my phone at the moment.
