Ninja Print on Demand Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your questions and learn how to grow your print-on-demand business

Getting Started

To order for yourself you would need the product to exist in Shopify, but it can be a draft (so not published to your online store). Then you can go to the orders option in Shopify and create a new draft order, select the product you want to order, and set yourself as the customer. You can apply a 100% discount so you don't charge yourself, but your store will still be charged the production cost.

We're so glad you asked! We have this helpful video to show you how to get started!

Products & Designs

When submitting design files, ensure they are either vector or raster images at 300 DPI for optimal print quality. Files should be sized correctly to match your desired print dimensions, and we recommend using RGB color mode for the best results. We accept almost all file types, so you can upload your designs in the format that works best for you.

No, you don’t need print-ready artwork to begin! Our feature-rich design studio offers thousands of images, dozens of text styles, and the ability to upload and manipulate your own images. This makes it easy to create the perfect design, even if you’re starting from scratch.

  • T-Shirts / Crewneck Sweatshirts
    • Front - 11” wide x 16" tall

    • Front - 11” wide x 9" tall (to pockets)
    • Back - 11" wide x 16" tall

Each print area has its own max width and height as you will be able to see with our bounding box. We can only print what is inside the print area bounding box.

Ninja POD uses DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing for all their products, including polos and hats.

We accept PNG, JPG, PDF, AI, EPS, and SVG files. For best results, use PNG files with transparent backgrounds at 300 DPI resolution and true to size.

We offer a wide range of apparel products (t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops). New products are added regularly based on market demand.

You can use our lifestyle image creator to generate an image with your design. If for some reason that option is not available on the product you are creating, you can also use this tool here and create a mockup and simply upload it to the Shopify product page.

No, all artwork on a product will print the same size across all sizes.

There can be a couple reasons. If you have not finished setting up your Ninja POD account, the order will not fulfill. If you have not requested fulfillment, we have not received your order. If your order has been accepted and it has been over a week with no update, please contact us.

We ship via UPS Mail Innovations. UPS Mail Innovations is a shipping service that combines the strengths of UPS and the USPS (United States Postal Service) to offer cost-effective and efficient delivery for businesses. UPS handles the initial transportation and sorting, while the USPS handles the final delivery to the recipient's address. This hybrid approach allows businesses to leverage UPS's vast network and the USPS's last-mile delivery capabilities, potentially resulting in lower shipping costs and faster delivery times. Some times your tracking number gives better information depending on what site you check the tracking. Unfortunately, we have no control over what this information displays and any issues with tracking updates need to be directed to UPS/USPS directly.

Marketing & Sales

Use social media marketing, SEO optimization, email campaigns, and influencer partnerships. This will get your product in front of as many people as possible.

No, unfortuanetly we cannot help you with marketing your store. We are a fulfillment only service.

At this time we only support Shopify integration. We are always working on ways to improve our app and will be looking to integrate with different platforms. Keep an eye out on our app updates in the future!

Account & Settings

Go to Settings to update your payment details, shipping information, and return address. Keep your information current to ensure smooth operations and timely payments.

Simply uninstall the app. 48 hours after uninstalling, your data will be permanently deleted. Please note that account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Ensure all pending orders are fulfilled and payments are settled before uninstalling the app.
