Print-on-demand
Also known as: POD
Print-on-demand is a model where products are manufactured with your design only after a customer orders, then shipped directly to them.
Print-on-demand (POD) lets you sell custom products — apparel, prints, mugs — without holding stock. A partner prints your design onto the item only when an order comes in and ships it to the customer.
Because nothing is produced until it sells, there is no inventory risk or upfront production cost. It pairs naturally with digital design skills, letting a creator turn artwork into physical products on demand.
Dropshipping
Dropshipping is a retail model where the seller takes orders but a third-party supplier ships the products directly to the customer.
Inventory
Inventory is the stock of goods a business holds and intends to sell.
Commercial license
A commercial license grants the buyer the right to use a digital product in for-profit work, such as client projects or products sold for money.
