Gooten: Print on Demand

I've used a number of print-on-demand apps through Shopify over the years and Gooten has consistently been the least headaches both with easy integration, great quality products, and fast shipping. I've only rarely had limitations or issues. Most recently I implemented an entire first-time store for my job, and chose to use almost soley Gooten because it has been consistently 5 stars over the years. Easy set up. Quick shipping. High Quality. You can't ask for better than that.

Very impressed with the UX and service thus far (4 week in) - its so much quicker than a few other POD I work with - not perfect yet but very good enough to recommend - clear UI and thoughtful product journey which is a relief. The 3rd party integrations are fantastic (etsy etc).

I inadvertently found Gooten while looking for one particular POD product and so far have been very impressed with their catalog and their support. I had a question early on which they responded to right away with very helpful information.

Biggest issue i have with them is the customer service is trash, they make it very difficult to contact them and when you finally do they say they will get back to you with 36 business hours. which they have not. which is not good if you are trying to run a business through their POD service and fix problems as they arrive. Right now im having trouble with one of the hats, it tells me the required image size for the print area, i have made the image exactly that and even tried smaller but every time i try to upload it says the image is to big even though it is well with in the guide lines. Im to far in now to switch to another POD service but i highly recommend going to any other company. Gooten is all around a nightmare. Also shipping costs are a nightmare, they charge shipping from each production site where they print the merch, which is understandable. however im currently trying to order 3 different products from two production sites. the hat shipping will cost 7.99, im also ordering a pair of socks and a fanny pack but they come from a different print location, they are charging 23 usd dollars shipping for this one. im in canada so the equals close to fifty dollars shipping for a hat, pair of socks and a fanny pack. Try convincing a customer thats a good shipping rate... like ive already said gooten is awful to deal with. FIND ANYTHING ELSE

Fantastic service, hassle-free shopify integration, received decent support over email. One of the very few woven product suppliers with a seamless automatic setup.

I’m a new customer, but so far I have nothing but good things to say. My customers have been very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of the throw pillows and accent mugs. I can wait to create more products. The software is easy to learn, and the wide selection of merchandise really sets Gooten apart from the competitors. Tech support is also top notch.

TLDR: Gooten’s shipping charges are outrageous, customer service is slow and unhelpful, my data was compromised, product quality is poor, and their scents are unbearable.

I was charged $67 to ship less than 2 lbs of sample orders, so while their pricing may seem competitive initially, just wait until you see the outrageous shipping charges. When I contacted their service team, I was told, “All of our fees are outlined on our website,” despite the buried info. Since it was less than 24 hours after I placed the order, I simply asked them to cancel, but they refused. Their service team is slow, offers mediocre support, expresses zero empathy, and has no urgency.

Then, four days after placing my order, I was notified that my account had been part of a data breach. I’m still trying to get details to monitor my identity, but extracting info from them is painful. The quality of the products is sub-par—the AOP hoodie I ordered looks like it was stitched together by a 3rd-grade art class, and without labeling options, it looks cheap and homemade. On top of that, their candle scents are unbearable, smelling extremely synthetic to the point of causing headaches. Would not recommend.

Pretty good POD store with a good selection of apparel. Prices are reasonable and usually undercut other 'larger' POD stores.

I particularly like the high quality blanks 'shakawear' and 'bayside' as these premium products suit the type of customer my nice is geared towards.

User interface is above average. PRINTING size on apparel is a lot better than the other POD stores, so especially good, if you like larger prints on your t-shirts and sweatshirts.

The amount of products are good and it connects well with shopify. I'd like to see a few more mockups available. Overall user friendly, a good option to use in your POD business and nice layout.

I love their pet products, and they're priced perfectly unlike other POD companies, their wall art section is good, I wish that the neck label were more customizable per color on t-shirts, but above all I'm pretty happy with the over all product selection and prices.
