Quick Stores is a tool that allows you to easily set up a storefront with Printful and publish products in only a few minutes—for free. It’s a great way for beginners to dip their toes into online sales before jumping into ecommerce platforms and marketplaces.
Here are the main differences between a store created with Quick Stores, and a store that uses a different platform:
- Price:
- Quick Stores is free to use, and you don’t have to pay anything to get started
- Most platforms and marketplaces have monthly fees or subscriptions, but they offer free trials and special offers for new users
- Customization options:
- Your storefront created using Quick Stores will only feature your products and your business name or logo
- By using an ecommerce platform, you’ll gain access to more customization options for your store—from product pages to the main menu and categories
- Usability:
- Quick Stores is easy to use—you can set up a storefront in ten minutes following a few quick steps
- The setup time for platforms and marketplaces will vary depending on which one you choose (check out our comparison page to learn more about each one)
