Our sustainable product range is most notably certified by the following organisations:

Our print-on-demand model ensures that no products end up in landfills. We do this by producing precisely what is sold. Furthermore, products are made as local to the customer as possible, in order to minimise unnecessary carbon emissions by cutting shipping distances.

‍

Yes, we offer an extensive sustainable product range made with organic cotton and recycled materials. These products are certified by Peta, GRS, GOTS and more. These products are tagged with a green “sustainable” note so you can easily identify them in our catalog.

‍

You can choose the price you charge your customers. This price must include VAT, which can vary depending on where your customers are ordering from. When you set the price, you can also see how much it costs for us to produce the product, which is shown excluding VAT. For every order, we calculate the price of the product excluding VAT (depending on where the order comes from) and you earn the difference between this price and our cost price. You can see the steps of this calculation in your personalised order overview page. Remember that your customers pay shipping directly to us, so this is not involved in your profit calculation.

First, you need to sign up here. Then, you can edit all the features of your shop on the ‘My Store’ page, including the name, your social media links, choose your banner, add "About us" section. Next, save all your changes, then browse all the products we have to offer by clicking on Products in the header menu. When you see a product in the catalog that you like, just click on ‘Start Designing’ to choose your colours, sizes, prices, and of course upload your artwork. Once you have designed all the products you want to add (for now, you can always add more later), you can review and publish them to your store under the ‘My Products’ part of the ‘Products’ page. Preview your shop and if all looks great to you hit the " Publish store" button. Now, your shop is live, and you and your customers can access it via the link you may copy in My Store settings.

Your customers will pay the price you have set plus a shipping cost directly to Helloprint Create & Sell. When your profit rollup reaches €50, we will pay out your revenue. You may expect the payment during the third week of the month for the previous month. The revenue per order is equal to the price you set, minus VAT and product production cost, for each product. You can see the exact margin you earn at your Orders page.

When you are logged into your account, you can see your orders on the page titled ‘Orders’. Here you also see all the details of how much you have earned with each order, broken down into your price, the VAT rate of the order, your price excluding VAT, our cost price, and finally your margin. You can check your financial details on the ‘Finances’ page of your account, to make sure we know how to pay you.

We strive to have an ever-growing catalog with a diverse product offering. For this reason we are constantly adding new products. Is there any product you’re missing? Then let us know here!

The Artist Store is our on-platform solution, where you create a free custom online shop on our storefront with no need for any integrations, coding or subscription. E-commerce platforms such as Shopify are designed for those who already have a store on one of these platforms and wish to direct all their customers to one place, whether it be for print-on-demand or other products. Shopify charges a monthly subscription fee and requires more time for set-up, but in return offers more customisation and more functionality, if you professionally run your e-commerce business. Read more about it in our Integrations section.

Once the order is automatically processed you can see the tracking links in the "Orders" page in your dashboard. By the link you can see the order delivery status and inform your customers, if they have questions. We as well send the shipping information to your customer.

It's up to you to decide whether your store will be displayed on Our Artists page. Just go to "My Store" page in the Dashboard, scroll down to "Display preferencies" and choose your option. If you want your store to be displayed on Our Artists page please upload the preview banner so your store looks catchy if customers browse Our Artists catalog. If you decide to keep you store private, there is no need to upload the preview photo. You can cope the link of your Store in "My Store" page and share it with your customers via social media channels or direct mail.

Yes, absolutely. You can add the images to be displayed on the product page together with the the mock-ups you created in our design editor.

Don't forget about importance of the image quality and high resolution. You can add the images at the product configuration page where you edit product description and set your prices.

Helloprint applies flat shipping rates for regions dependent on the product category. To check them, please go to theShipping page on our website. The exact shipping rates for particular products can be found on the product page in Create & Sell app under the tab “Prices & Shipping”. You’ll find the price for shipping one item to a particular country and the price for shipping any additional items. These are the rates that HelloPrint will charge you for shipping. When the order is placed, this shipping rate will be charged together with the cost price of the product and VAT if applicable.

Here’s a list of some pricing strategies that can be helpful in determining your shipping pricing:

1. You can set the same shipping  prices as Helloprint charges you for shipping.

2. You can offer lower shipping costs and then compensate for the difference with higher margins on your products. 

3. You can offer free shipping to your customers. But don’t forget to take into consideration this cost when you set your product sales price. Free shipping can be applied to all orders, or limited to certain products/customers/locations. Free shipping is often a very attractive feature to stimulate customers to order.

4. A final option is to charge a higher shipping price than HelloPrint's rate if you can keep it competitive in your niche and country.

At the moment, there isn't a shipping profile for HelloPrint Create & Sell available in Shopify. Therefore, a custom shipping profile will need to be set up with custom rates that best fit your store's needs. You can find some information about how to do this at the following link.

HelloPrint uses flat-rate shipping, meaning we charge the same flat-rate fee to ship a product to all countries within a particular region. There are a couple of ways to calculate the shipping costs that will apply to an order.

1.Shipping costs for (multiple of) a single item

Start with ourproduct catalogue. On each individual product page, you can check the cost of shipping for the first item as well as the cost of every subsequent item under the tab “Shipping”.

In this case, to ship three bags to the UK, for example, the total shipping cost is €3,69 + (€1,25 * 2) = €6,19.

2. Shipping costs for multiple items from the same category:

Check out HelloPrint Create & Sell’s shipping page to see the shipping prices that apply to each category. You will see the cost of shipping the first item plus all additional items.

3.Shipping costs for multiple items from different categories


Create a test order with the items for which you would like to calculate shipping. The total shipping cost is calculated at the checkout page.


Alternatively, you can calculate the shipping using the following methodology

a. Go to our shipping page and pull up the shipping rates for each category 

b. Figure out under which categories the products in your order will fall.

c. The total shipping cost will be calculated as follows: Take the “First Product” price for the category with the highest first product shipping cost and then take the “Additional Product” prices for all remaining products in your order

d. For example, if you have two hoodies, two mugs, and two t-shirts in your cart and you’re looking to ship to the UK, the total shipping cost will be:

€5,90 (First Product price for Hoodies/Sweatshirts, most expensive shipping category in cart) + €1,90 (Additional Product price for Hoodies/Sweatshirts) + (€1,50 * 2) (Additional Product price for Mugs  * quantity) + (€1,25 * 2) (Additional Product price for T-shirts * quantity)

Our digital print process uses non-toxic, water-based inks not harmful to the planet. There is zero water waste in our production/fulfilment process and minimum emissions are used to produce our products.

The specific file requirements may differ per product. You can find the file requirement in Artwork guidelines on each product page.

For apparel, you can create multiple sizes and colours at once. Simply select all of the colours you’d like to design. One item will appear in the design editor, but you will see mockups for all colours selected on the Product Configuration page. You will be able to edit the designs for each selected colour from this page, as well. Still not sure? Feel free to check out our tutorial videos on how to navigate designing and editing products.

For wall art items in the most popular sizes with scalable ratios, you can create product in multiple sizes at once. This accounts for all square items (product names will end with “Square”) or items with the same ratio dimensions (product names will end with “Ratio”). Simply click all of the sizes you’d like to create on the product page, and upload your artwork/design. Multiple mockups will appear once you approve your design. For non-scalable wall art sizes, you can separately design individual sizes that you would like to add to your store.

If your valid payment card has been connected, we will directly debit the card after an order is placed with the following amount: cost price (dependent on print positions) + VAT of delivery country (if applicable) + HelloPrint’s shipping rate. Any profits resulting from your sales price minus all of the costs mentioned above you will receive from Shopify, they will never be acquired by Helloprint.

You can find the cost price on the product configuration page before publishing the product to your Shopify store. You can find the shipping rates on each product page in the App under “Prices and Shipping”.

VAT is Value-Added Tax. It is not applicable in all countries, such as the USA, but is applicable in most other countries, especially in the EU. You can read more about VAT and where it is applied here.

The prices you see on the Create & Sell website and in the Shopify App are cost prices excluding VAT. If your customer is ordering from a country from which VAT should be applied, this will have to be charged when orders are placed. 


VAT and other tax settings should be set up in your Shopify store settings under “Settings” → “Taxes & duties”; check out this Shopify Help Page on how to do so. You can either choose to include or exclude VAT from your Shopify prices.


If you do not include VAT in your prices in your Shopify store settings, you will need to add VAT on the Product Configuration Page when setting your prices in our App (see screenshot below). To do this, unselect the box “Your shop includes VAT” by hitting the lock button.

If you do include VAT in your prices in your Shopify store settings, you can leave the box “Your shop includes VAT” checked on the Product Configuration Page.

Alternatively, hover over the “Sales Price” information bubble on the Product Configuration Page which explains how to check your VAT settings.

You can check the current VAT rates here.
