The order button is linked to my printmojo store and the customer puts all of the info into Printmojo's secure database and sends out the orders and cuts me a check for the difference.
You may be wanting cafepress. With cafepress you will more than likely have less profit per piece, but you have no up front costs to deal with. They take care of the whole process and you just upload artwork and promote your site. When you have sales, you get a check. Printmojo has decent pricing per piece and although you initially pay for the shirts you want printed, you get more from each sale than you would from cafepress.
If you have the money, I would have a professional print my shirts, another professional build my ecommerce website, and ship them out yourself. | |  | |  | |
Thanks for the info Tim. I'm looking into cafepress and printfection right now. The type of site I'm developing probably wouldn't be well suited to any sort of company that requires a per-shirt inventory, just because of the sheer number of different shirts I want to offer.
I need to figure out if the printing quality of these two sites is acceptable, though : - ) I don't have much experience with print-on-demand shirts, so I don't really know how well they come out. I'll probably buy a sample from each with the same, complicated graphic and see which does better.
Thanks for the input!
