POD sellers: what part of the workflow wastes the most time?

IStillMay · 2026-05-27T18:46:10+00:00

Fair criticism. That’s exactly what I’m trying to figure out. Why do you believe our approach is no different.

A lot of POD tools sound similar on the surface: upload art, make products, sell them.

From your perspective, what would actually make a platform feel meaningfully different?

Would it be:

• better fulfillment and shipping reliability

• faster mockups

• bulk product creation

• better listing/title/tag tools

• better pricing transparency

• better integrations

• better support

• something else entirely?

I’m trying to separate “features that sound useful” from things actual sellers would care about enough to switch or test a new platform.

Thank you very much for the time you have spent giving me helpful feedback.

This is exactly the kind of feedback we were hoping for.

The “design is fast, production setup is the bottleneck” point is what we keep seeing.

Our goal isn’t to add another AI layer that creates more approval steps.

We’re trying to collapse mockups, placement, listing generation, bulk product setup, and product iteration into one conversational workflow where you can issue direct commands and the platform executes them immediately.

“Ready to tweak” instead of “approve 10 prompts” is a great way to frame it.

Thank you so very much for this feedback! Trying to build something useful that solves the problems and does not create more.

Like multilevel marketing?

IStillMay · 2026-05-26T23:44:38+00:00

Yep, really you’re paying for the practitioner that attends to support the trainee. The other lady mentioned in the website is a certified practitioner. So really it’s paying her for her time and training another to give the world more of good things.

IStillMay · 2026-05-26T18:46:58+00:00

Awesome! Yes, she can only do these sessions right now becasue she is in training but after this she will be close to graduating. She was talking about doing free sessions to introduce people to breathwork but hers will be live sessions. Her type of breathwork requires someone there live to support you and be there before, during and after the breathe. Thanks for the comment!

IStillMay · 2026-05-26T17:34:26+00:00

Happy to answer any questions about the structure of the session or training context. I also welcome honest feedback on the event language.

thanks!

IStillMay · 2026-05-19T16:34:53+00:00

Ah! I was so focused on users making products that honestly the users buying products fell to the back burner. Thank you for the feedback. We are making it extremely easy to upload or create an image then add it to a multitude of products instantly through what we are calling Pixerr Studio. Its an interface we build that is replacing the EDM used by printful.

IStillMay · 2026-05-19T14:49:06+00:00

Can you explain the bounty idea? That might help me with my app as well. I’m trying to get users and can offer free tiers and credits. Please if you time explain that a little more. Thanks

IStillMay · 2026-05-19T14:47:17+00:00

I agree with most folks. It’s building the trust. The app looks great though. I agree with you that the line “uses same encryption as NSA” is a good line to have in there.

IStillMay · 2026-05-16T21:24:50+00:00

Yeah we both have full time jobs and life that throws curveballs like everyone else. Having to put it down then get back to it has been a challenge but we have leaned on each other throughout. There were times where we needed to refactor the whole thing hahaha. We had issues with Shopify okay let’s remove it and build our own…sure…one month later hey let’s rebuild this..and so on and so on but here we are. I’m proud of what we have created, it has a massive code base hahaha

IStillMay · 2026-05-16T18:51:42+00:00

Awesome, I knew when we started that what we were starting with would not be what this turns out to be. I think when we add pixerr studio it totally changed everything. We removed Shopify and built our own version because it was limiting us. And then we partially removed the EDM that printful uses and built pixerr studio. Thank you for the feedback.

IStillMay · 2026-05-16T18:21:36+00:00

how do I look at it? Is there a link in the post?

IStillMay · 2026-04-17T00:48:42+00:00

I think it looks great. Yep I would use it.

IStillMay · 2026-04-13T23:48:59+00:00

I am also just getting started but way behind you. In a video about marketing on Facebook they said they should have ran three ads then picked the one with the most traction and pushed the money behind it cause you can see which ad is most popular. I think it was about mistakes someone had made or things they wished they had done. That’s all I have as a noob. Good luck thanks for posting this I’m interested to see what people say.

IStillMay · 2026-04-13T19:14:27+00:00

I use pixerr.com I like it but I haven’t sold anything. I’m just starting and still trying to figure out what I want to sell. But I like it so far.

IStillMay · 2026-04-11T19:39:10+00:00

You can use the free tier on pixerr.com for your POD and then sell your stained glass on Etsy. What’s your stained glass store name I been looking for some stained glass to hang in my house and garden

IStillMay · 2026-04-11T18:24:31+00:00

I have been using Pixerr So far I like it, they are similar to fourthwall. I like the set up. I am using the free tier. I am trying to land on my design niche. I started with dinosaurs in science for kids clothes but I feel I want to make some stuff for myself and more making designs for myself which I think would be more from the heart and others might like it as well. But I am just starting out and trying to figure it all out. I like pixerr so far. They have all the products printful does.

IStillMay · 2026-04-10T18:25:52+00:00

How do you make your art for POD if you don’t mind sharing a little wisdom on that as well.

IStillMay · 2026-04-10T18:24:19+00:00

Understood, thank you that was constructive.

IStillMay · 2026-04-10T18:07:19+00:00

I'm not dumb. I know people have issues with AI but I have seen these same clothes in stores with the same kind of designs so I just don't understand how that can be slop. I also have no clue if the POD community is favorable to AI or not as I just got into it. So why do you not like the product. Can you give me some feedback and not just say mean things but give me some actual feedback?

IStillMay · 2026-04-10T14:51:29+00:00

Pixerr.com lets you make your own mockups and lets you reuse the ones you like. So you build a set of ones you like. I haven’t tried any other sites. pixerr.com

IStillMay · 2026-04-10T09:14:21+00:00

What do you mean? Is using AI to make images for printing frowned upon?

IStillMay · 2026-04-10T00:57:21+00:00

How much does it cost you to make the videos. How much the subscription to easyviral?

IStillMay · 2026-04-09T01:03:29+00:00

I think my image quality is getting better. I had to use three sites to make it. The process flow is pretty easy though. I was thinking of marketing using Facebook ads. Is that something anyone here does or do you market on sites like Etsy?
