Pillow Profits Vs. GearBubble

Even though both these services are POD in nature, they are still drastically different from each other in terms of their business model.

Pillow Profits integrates into your Shopify store and you can start selling products on your own store. They charge a subscription fee of $29.99 per month for using their services.

GearBubble offers a platform where you can create custom products and sell directly on their platform.

You can also move products to your Shopify with their integration option, but you can only move 25 products to your Shopify store with the basic GearBubble account.

GearBubble is free to use and they only take a cut when you make a sale. So, you can create as many bestselling products as you want and you will only be charged when they are sold.

Pillow Profits, however, is the only service that offers shoes and premium footwear for POD out of these. GearBubble does not offer footwear products.

So, if you are looking to create a premium shoe store with your custom designs then Pillow Profits takes the advantage over GearBubble.

Wrapping it up

Pillow Profits Fulfillment is one of the best Shopify Print on Demand apps out there.  It offers an easy-to-use and simple interface that’s a breeze for newbies to use.

The vast collection of shoes and premium footwear available in their catalog are perfect for entrepreneurs looking to get into the custom shoe industry.

    Keep your hands of Pillow Profits Fullfillment!!!
    They are causing you much trouble and financial losses. As we are based in the EU, we have the following issues with them:

    – no legal shiping documents
    – no legit customs & duties documents
    – change of AWB without notification
    – wrong shipping adresses because of their bugs
    – support is not answering if there is trouble caused by them
    – many fake reviews in shopify app store

    All said can be proofed.

    Thanks for the info. After poking around the site because I’m interested in using their services; they offer unique items I haven’t seen with other POD fulfillment houses, I have some follow up questions that I can’t find answers for (which is a red flag for me!). Perhaps you can shed some further light on Pillow Profits.
    – Image editing: their tutorial shows how easy it is to drop and image onto their products but they didn’t show if you can shift the placement of art so it looks best on items. Their example shows adding art to sneakers. What if I don’t like where the art sits, do I have to redo the art to suit the shape of the sneaker or can I nudge it a little to another spot?
    – Campaigns: you can see a campaign count down in their tutorial but I cannot find one word written about campaigns on their site. Are products only available during campaigns? What is the length of campaigns and can that be adjusted? Can the campaign function be turned off? Can we have products listed indefinitely?
    Thanks!

    • Dilawar Hussain says:

      Image Editing – When you add image, you see the Safe Zone, this is the area where your image is guaranteed to show up. So yeah, you can nudge it up a bit within the safe zone to get your preferred positioning.

      Campaigns – You can have campaigns listed for as long as you want. Your products will always be up on your site until you take them down.
