I’ve been building TIPITY ONLINE, a print-on-demand merch platform designed to remove the usual setup wall.

Instead of building a full Shopify store, connecting apps, setting up product pages, fighting mockups, and trying to make everything shareable, the flow is basically:

upload or create an image → choose a product → generate the merch preview → create a listing/share link → share it anywhere.

The buyer lands on the product, picks options like size/color, checks out, and the order routes through the fulfillment flow. It supports regular merch purchases and creator-style merch links where someone can make something and sell it without needing to build a whole storefront first.

I built this because I think a lot of people have ideas, art, jokes, slogans, photos, designs, or small audiences, but they never turn them into products because the setup feels too heavy.

I’m looking for honest feedback from people who sell merch, use POD, run small online businesses, or have tried Shopify/Etsy/Printful-type workflows. Does this kind of “make it and share the link” flow solve a real pain point for you, or would you still rather build a full store?

Have about 11 items made and posted on my site but now whenever I try making something doesn’t matter what it is it just wants to sit on this when I get done making and posting the product

First time using printful, got a Shopify account set up and a website and product, have to add a billing option and it just shows this and I have no clue on how to fix it
