Print-On-Demand: Etsy Vs. Redbubble

[Mika]

Etsy is not a print-on-demand company, however, you can sell print-on-demand products on Etsy by integrating print providers like Printify and Printful.

Redbubble is a print-on-demand company that not only offers product printing services but also product selling marketplace.

In other words, if you want to sell Print-On-Demand on Etsy, you will have to use other companies, however, on Redbubble you can list your products for sale and if the product gets sold, the company will fulfill your order.

When you sell on Redbubble, the markup is your entire profit, however, if you are selling on Etsy, you will not only have to pay for Etsy fees but also pay for the product to the print providers. Therefore, the profit margin on Etsy might be lower than Redbubble.

You can start for zero cost on Redbubble but you need money to start on Etsy. However, Etsy is a more popular platform, there are millions of registered buyers. Therefore, selling is easier on Etsy.

Redbubble is free, you pay only when you sell, however, you will have to pay listing price on etsy. Therefore, people looking for a free platform might find redbubble better. However, etsy is a bigger market, it is one of the biggest ecommerce marketplaces in the world and redbubble is not anywhere near etsy, therefore, it might be easier to sell on etsy compared to redbubble. While you can directly sell on redbubble as it is print provider as well as marketplace, you will have to connect etsy with print provider in order to sell on this platform. Selling depends on SEO and marketing.
