New Report Outlines Top Ecommerce Platforms for Entrepreneurs Launching Custom Brands

Overview of top ecommerce platforms for entrepreneurs building custom brands, covering scalability, integrations, and the role of POD in growth.

CHARLOTTE, NC, UNITED STATES, September 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Printful, a leading U.S.-based global print-on-demand company, has released its latest guide outlining the top ecommerce platforms for entrepreneurs seeking to launch custom brands. The report highlights platform strengths, emerging industry trends, and the growing role of print-on-demand technology in lowering barriers for new businesses.

Global retail ecommerce sales reached $6.3 trillion in 2024 and are projected to surpass $8 trillion by 2027, accounting for nearly a quarter of worldwide retail (eMarketer). At the same time, the print-on-demand industry is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26% and is projected to reach nearly $103 billion by 2034 (Precedence Research), reflecting surging demand for customizable products. According to DemandSage, 80% of consumers are more likely to purchase from retailers offering personalized experiences, underscoring the importance of choosing platforms that support customization.

The guide reviews leading platforms, including Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, and BigCommerce. Each is assessed for its suitability to different types of entrepreneurs—from large-scale retailers to independent designers. In addition, niche platforms such as Big Cartel (designed for artists), PrestaShop (open-source flexibility), Square Online (quick setup for small businesses), and Fourthwall (geared toward creators and influencers) are included as emerging alternatives.

Printful’s guide emphasizes several success factors that entrepreneurs should consider when selecting a platform:
- Scalability to grow alongside business needs
- Transparent pricing that avoids hidden costs
- Built-in tools and integrations for efficient store management
- Mobile-first design to meet consumer expectations
- Responsive customer support to resolve issues quickly

As noted in the guide, print-on-demand solutions such as Printful make it possible for entrepreneurs to connect directly with ecommerce platforms, design products, and begin selling without upfront inventory. This flexibility helps new businesses minimize startup costs while maintaining creative control.
The full guide, “Best Ecommerce Platforms: Top Contenders for Launching a Custom Brand,” is available now on Printful’s blog.
