Best for free print-on-demand with factories in six regions
Printway says its print-on-demand and fulfillment service is free to use with no order minimums, and you pay per order. It has no pricing page, its pages disagree on how many products it has, and customers in some countries may pay an extra customs fee of 8-22 euros.
Who Printway is for
- Fits if you want print-on-demand with no subscription and factories in several regions
- Works for sellers who ship to the EU and need a local factory
Who Printway is not for
- Skip it if you want a published price list, as there is no pricing page
- Not for you if you need store plugins, as none are listed
- Watch out: customers may pay an extra customs fee of 8-22 euros in some countries
- Watch out: some products made in Vietnam need a customer phone or email, and EU buyers may need an IOSS code
Why Printway gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyThe home page says the service is free to use, but there is no pricing page and item costs sit in the catalog, so the real price is not on record.
- BFree plan and trialNo subscription and no order minimum, so one person can start without paying a fee. Each order is still paid per item.
- CFeaturesGlobal production, a catalog, order entry, custom branding and Amazon FBA and B2B. The pages give three different product counts, 300+, 500+ and 1,000+.
- CEase of useNo store rating is on record. Some products need a customer phone or email, and EU buyers may need an IOSS code.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no integrations listed on the pages read.

Keep Printway, or make your own?
Keep it
Printway is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 38 of the 70 other print-on-demand and dropshipping services grade higher.
What you could not
- Printers that make and ship each order.
- Suppliers who ship each order for you.
What this rests on. Printway’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
