I never touch the products I sell; a print partner makes and ships each order after it's paid for, so my job is design, listings and the numbers. Most of my week is creating designs for a niche I know well, then checking them against what's actually selling, because a design I love can sit for months while a simple one sells daily. Every design goes onto mockups for several products, shirts, mugs and posters, with the colours and print areas each product allows. Listings live or die on search: titles, tags and photos that match what buyers type. The margin is thin, so I price every product off the print partner's base cost, the marketplace fees and shipping, and a $24 shirt might leave me six dollars. When something goes wrong, a misprint or a lost parcel, I'm the one the customer contacts, so I handle replacements with the print partner behind the scenes. Copyright is a line I don't cross: no brand logos, characters or lyrics, because one takedown can close a shop. I spend evenings on new designs and weekends reviewing which ones to drop.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

Open on Reddit →We build a print on demand seller's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a print on demand seller — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
