What you get

Everything for Shopify POD, built in

Embedded Shopify app

Manage orders, live factory status and tracking inside your Shopify Admin via App Bridge. No extra tab, no extra login.

1-Click product push

Publish a design from the Product Designer with mockups, a size chart, tags and pricing. Sizes follow the product you picked, so kids’ ages and numeric sizes appear exactly as they are made.

Link existing products

Keep your own photography and theme. Link existing Shopify variants to our blanks and nothing on your storefront changes.

Live stock sync

In stock, low or out of stock is pushed to your Shopify location whenever it changes, so customers cannot order what we cannot make. We never send raw inventory.

Tracking sent back

Courier, AWB and tracking link go to the Shopify order and your customer is notified. Delivery shows on the fulfillment, with failed attempts and returns reported too.

Status tags on every order

MF-In-Production, MF-Shipped, MF-Delivered and MF-RTO tags keep your Shopify order list readable at a glance.

White-label packaging

Custom neck labels, brand stickers and your box. Zero Merch Factory branding reaches your customer.

COD with verification

Pan-India cash on delivery with automated WhatsApp recipient verification to cut fake and returned orders.

Current Shopify API

Orders come in through the Shopify Admin GraphQL API (2026-10), so the connection stays supported.
How it works

From install to doorstep in four steps

Install the embedded app, publish or link your apparel, and let fulfilment run from order to delivery.

  1. 01

    Install the app and link your account

    Install Merch Factory: Print on Demand from the Shopify App Store, approve the permissions and press Link Merch Factory account. You never type a store URL. Setup takes about 2 minutes.
  2. 02

    Push or link your products

    Push a design in one click, or link products you already sell. Pricing, size chart and mockups are filled in for you, and you can edit all of it in Shopify afterwards.
  3. 03

    Orders arrive, you place them in one click

    Orders are fetched when you open your orders or press Sync. Review and place each one from Merch Factory or inside Shopify. Nothing is printed until you do, and the order is tagged MF-In-Production once it starts.
  4. 04

    We print, pack and ship, then report back

    Industrial DTF printing, your branding, dispatch within 24–48 hours. The courier and tracking link return to Shopify, the order is fulfilled and your customer is notified. Delivery and returns sync too.
Guide

Shopify print on demand in India: the complete guide

Shopify is the most popular store platform for Indian D2C brands, creators and first-time sellers. Pair it with Merch Factory and you can sell custom apparel without holding stock: you set the price, your customer pays you, and we print the order on premium DTF, pack it in your branding and ship it across India.

Every order stays under your control. It lands in your queue, you place it with one click, and only then do we start production. Tracking returns to Shopify automatically, so your customer hears from your store, not ours. If you are comparing suppliers, see our India POD comparison or the head-to-heads with Qikink and Printrove.

There is no minimum order quantity, no subscription and no setup fee. You pay the production cost per garment after the sale, so your upfront investment is zero. New to the model? Start with how print on demand works and our dropshipping in India overview, then browse custom T-shirts, hoodies and the full product catalog.

Yes. Whenever factory availability for a garment changes (in-stock, low-stock, out-of-stock), we update the matching variants on your Shopify location, so customers cannot keep ordering sizes we cannot make.

The order appears in your Merch Factory dashboard and the embedded app when you open your orders or press Sync, where you place it with one click — nothing is produced until you do.

The order is tagged MF-In-Production; once dispatched, the courier and tracking link are pushed back to Shopify and your customer is notified, and when the courier delivers, Shopify shows the shipment as delivered.
