Getting started
Welcome to MyDesigns
The complete platform for building a print-on-demand and digital product business — from finding what to sell, to designing it, to publishing it, to getting paid.
Overview
MyDesigns is where your entire product business lives in one place. One login covers the whole job: finding what to sell, creating the designs, turning them into real products, generating mockups, writing the listing data, publishing to your sales channels, and managing the orders that come back.
Most sellers arrive holding a stack of tools — an AI image generator, a design editor, a mockup app, a spreadsheet of titles and tags, a POD provider, a store builder, and something to keep it all in sync. Every handoff between those tools costs time, and time is the only thing standing between an idea and a live listing.
MyDesigns replaces the stack. Everything lives in one catalog, and almost every step runs in bulk — not one product at a time.
What is MyDesigns?
MyDesigns is an all-in-one platform for creating, publishing, and selling print-on-demand (POD) and digital products.
You bring a design, an idea, or nothing at all. MyDesigns handles everything from that point forward:
- Research — find products and keywords with real, verified demand behind them.
- Create — generate or design artwork with AI and a full-featured canvas editor.
- Productize — place designs onto a catalog of physical products and print providers.
- Visualize — render professional mockups automatically, in bulk.
- List — generate titles, tags, descriptions, and attributes tuned for each channel.
- Publish — push to Etsy, Shopify, WooCommerce, TikTok Shop, Amazon, and your own MyDesigns store.
- Sell and fulfill — track orders, route production, and manage customers from one dashboard.
Nothing is bolted on. It's one system, built in one place, by people who sell products for a living.
Who is this platform for?
MyDesigns is built for anyone who wants to earn money selling print-on-demand or digital products. If you have an idea worth putting on a product, the platform is for you.
And if you don't have an idea — or any design experience at all — that's just as fine. MyDesigns Agents research what is actually selling right now, backed by real demand data pulled from live marketplaces, and turn those findings into ready-to-publish designs and complete listings.
You do not need a niche, a design background, a keyword spreadsheet, or a list of ideas to get started. You need a decision about what to publish — and the Agents will bring you the options.
We intentionally support a wide range of sellers, at every level of experience and scale.
Where you might see yourself
- Complete beginners who want to be guided step by step and work product by product until the workflow clicks.
- Side hustlers growing a small catalog alongside a day job, who need every session to count.
- Sellers with no design skills who rely on Dream AI and Agents to produce artwork that looks professionally made.
- Designers and artists with a body of work who want distribution without learning six new tools.
- Established sellers managing large catalogs across multiple storefronts and channels.
- High-volume power users publishing hundreds of products every day on a repeatable production schedule.
- Digital product sellers selling files, templates, and downloads with no inventory or fulfillment at all.
- Agencies, teams, and VAs running catalogs on behalf of clients or brands.
- Brands and creators turning an existing audience into a merch and digital product line.
Whether you are launching your very first listing or running a full production pipeline, the same tools scale with you — so you never outgrow the platform.
Who we are
MyDesigns is not a design tool that added a print-on-demand feature, and it is not a print provider that bolted on an editor. It was built from the inside of the business it serves.
We have been building in the print-on-demand space since 2016, and the people building MyDesigns are active sellers themselves. Every feature in this platform exists because it removed a real bottleneck in a real store — not because it looked good on a roadmap.
That shows up in the details you only notice once you are working at volume: the mockup that renders correctly on the first try, the listing that publishes without a rejected attribute, the bulk edit that updates four hundred products instead of four.
What we believe
- Volume is a strategy. The sellers who win are usually the ones who tested the most ideas — so the platform is built to make testing cheap and fast.
- Tools should disappear. You should be thinking about products and customers, not about exporting files between apps.
- Speed compounds. Cutting a fifteen-minute task to thirty seconds does not save fifteen minutes — it changes what you are willing to attempt.
- Sellers own their business. Your designs, your catalog, your customers, your store, your data.
What we do best
The best tooling in the print-on-demand and digital products space — and the fastest way to create, scale, and grow.
There are four things MyDesigns does better than anything else available, and they are the reason sellers move over and stay.
Everything works in bulk
This is the single largest difference between MyDesigns and every other approach. Bulk is not one feature buried in a menu — it runs through the entire workflow.
- Generate designs in bulk. Produce dozens of on-brand design variations from a single prompt or concept with Dream AI.
- Create products in bulk. Apply one design across an entire product set — tees, hoodies, mugs, posters, cases — in a single pass.
- Generate mockups in bulk. Render every product image for every design and every colorway automatically.
- Generate listing data in bulk. Titles, tags, descriptions, bullet points, and attributes written for the channel you are publishing to.
- Publish in bulk. Send hundreds of finished listings to your connected channels in one action.
- Edit in bulk. Reprice, retag, rename, swap mockups, or update descriptions across your catalog without touching listings one at a time.
The practical effect:
| Task | One at a time | In MyDesigns |
|---|---|---|
| Create 50 designs | Hours of prompting and exporting | One bulk generation run |
| Build 50 products | Repeat the same upload 50 times | Select designs, select products, apply |
| Produce 200 mockups | Open a mockup app, place, export, repeat | Automatic, rendered with the products |
| Write 50 listings | Copywriting or a spreadsheet marathon | Generated per channel, editable in bulk |
| Publish to 3 channels | Three separate manual uploads | One publish action, three channels |
The fastest path from idea to live listing
A seller starting from nothing can go from a blank screen to published products in a single sitting. Research, design, product, mockup, listing copy, and publishing all happen in one place, with no exports, no re-uploads, and no file management in between.
Because the steps are connected, the platform already knows the things other tools make you re-enter: which print area a design belongs in, which mockups match which product, which attributes a channel requires, and which variants need to exist.
One catalog, every channel
Your designs, products, and listings live in a single catalog. From there you choose where they go — Etsy, Shopify, WooCommerce, TikTok Shop, Amazon, or your own MyDesigns store. Update the source, push the change everywhere. No duplicate libraries, no drifting product data, no wondering which version is current.
Built for production, not for demos
Large catalogs behave differently than small ones. Bulk operations, folder structures, templates, saved presets, reusable mockup sets, and clean order routing are built in because the platform is used every day by people running catalogs in the thousands.
What you can do
Here is the full platform, laid out in the order you will actually use it. Each area has its own section in these docs.
Find what to sell
- MyDesigns Agents research live marketplace demand and surface product concepts and niches that are already proving themselves — then create their own original take on those concepts as ready-to-publish designs and listings. Agents never copy an existing listing; they identify what is working and build something new around it.
- Keyword and demand research gives you search volume, competition, and trend signals so you are choosing with data instead of guessing.
Create the design
- Dream AI generates original artwork from a prompt, an image, or a style reference — including transparent, print-ready output and bulk variation runs.
- Canvas is the built-in design editor: layers, text, fonts, effects, image editing, background removal, upscaling, and templates. Your uploaded fonts and assets live here too.
- Upload your own work at any time — MyDesigns is just as useful if you already have a library of finished designs.
Turn designs into products
- Designs is your artwork library: folders, tags, search, and versions.
- Products is where a design becomes something sellable — pick the blanks, print providers, colors, sizes, and print areas, then apply designs across the whole set at once.
- Product templates save your placement, pricing, and variant choices so the next hundred products take seconds.
Make it look real
- Mockups render your designs onto lifestyle and studio imagery automatically, at full resolution, for every color and variant. Build reusable mockup sets so every product in a drop shares a consistent look.
Write the listing
- AI listing data produces titles, tags, descriptions, and bullet points shaped for the channel you are publishing to — with the character limits and attribute rules already accounted for.
- Bulk editing lets you refine copy, pricing, and tags across an entire batch instead of listing by listing.
Publish everywhere
- Multi-channel publishing to Etsy, Shopify, WooCommerce, TikTok Shop, and Amazon from the same catalog.
- Sync and updates push changes back out so your listings stay accurate after they go live.
Sell on your own storefront
- Stores gives you a native MyDesigns storefront you own — launched in about thirty seconds, with hosting, checkout, and payouts handled.
- Built for discovery with technical SEO, structured data, and product feeds ready for Google, Meta, and Pinterest shopping channels.
- Marketing integrations including Klaviyo for email and SMS, plus a native reviews plugin.
- Hybrid checkout sells physical and digital products in the same cart.
- Buyer customization lets shoppers personalize a product you have made customizable — they edit inside a lite version of Canvas, see the mockup update instantly, and the print-ready file is generated automatically when they order.
Handle orders and fulfillment
- Orders brings every channel's orders into one dashboard with status, tracking, and production routing.
- Custom and personalized orders open straight into Canvas so a personalization request takes seconds, not a design session.
- Print network and provider options including the MyDesigns fulfillment network and connected providers such as Printify.
Sell digital products
- Digital listings for files, templates, bundles, and downloads — no inventory, no shipping, no fulfillment cost.
- Automatic delivery through your store checkout, alongside your physical catalog.
Organize, scale, and grow
- Folders, tags, and search keep large catalogs navigable.
- Templates and presets turn your best workflow into a repeatable one.
- Analytics show what is selling so your next batch is informed by the last one.
- Wallet and billing keep production costs, credits, and payouts clear and in one place.
Three ways sellers use MyDesigns
Most people arrive with one of these three shapes in mind. All three are fully supported, and most sellers end up running a mix.
| Approach | What it looks like | Why sellers choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Marketplace seller | Publish to Etsy, Amazon, TikTok Shop, or Shopify and sell where buyers already are. | Built-in traffic and fastest first sale. |
| Own-store seller | Run a MyDesigns Store with your own branding, checkout, email, and ads. | Higher margins, owned customer list, no marketplace rules. |
| Digital-first seller | Sell files, templates, and downloads with zero fulfillment. | No production cost, instant delivery, pure margin. |
The catalog is shared across all three. A design you make once can become a physical product on Etsy, a listing on your own store, and a digital download — without rebuilding anything.
Where to start
Find the row that sounds most like you and start there.
| If you are… | Start with | Then read |
|---|---|---|
| Brand new to POD | Create an account → Quick start | Designs, Products, Mockups |
| Out of ideas or new to a niche | Agents | Products, Listing data |
| Bringing existing designs | Designs (upload) → Products | Mockups, Publishing |
| Already selling on Etsy or Amazon | Connect your channel → Bulk publishing | Bulk editing, Orders |
| Wanting your own store | Stores | Store settings, Payments, Marketing |
| Selling digital products | Digital products | Stores, Delivery |
| Running high volume | Templates → Bulk workflows | Analytics, Folders, Team access |
How MyDesigns is different
Almost every seller starts by stitching together a stack of separate tools. Here is what changes when it is one platform instead.
| Job to be done | The typical stack | MyDesigns |
|---|---|---|
| Finding what to sell | Separate research tools and manual spreadsheets | Agents research live demand and build the designs |
| Creating artwork | One AI tool plus a separate editor | Dream AI and Canvas in the same workspace |
| Building products | Manual upload into each POD provider | One catalog applied across products in bulk |
| Mockups | A standalone mockup app and manual exports | Rendered automatically with your products |
| Listing copy | Written by hand or in a chat window | Generated per channel, editable in bulk |
| Publishing | One channel at a time | Multi-channel from one catalog |
| Your own store | A separate store builder and integrations | Stores, launched in about 30 seconds |
| Orders | Checked in several dashboards | One orders view across every channel |
The stack is not just more expensive. It is slower, and slower means fewer products tested, which is the thing that actually decides whether a store grows.
What you need to get started
- A MyDesigns account. That is the only requirement to start designing.
- Somewhere to sell. Connect an existing channel, or launch a MyDesigns Store in about thirty seconds.
- A payment method on file for production, once you are ready to fulfill physical orders. Digital products need nothing at all.
You do not need design software, a mockup subscription, a research tool, inventory, or a developer.

How these docs work
The documentation is organized the way the platform is used, not the way it is engineered.
- Getting started — this page, creating your account, and a quick start that gets one product published.
- Features — a reference section for each area of the app: Designs, Products, Stores, Orders, Canvas, Mockups, Agents, and more.
- Workflows — end-to-end guides that combine features to accomplish a specific outcome.
- Changelog — everything we ship, as we ship it.
Conventions used throughout
- Notes highlight something helpful you would otherwise discover the hard way.
- Warnings flag anything that is difficult to undo or that a sales channel is strict about.
- Beta labels mark features that are live but still being refined. We would rather tell you than surprise you.
- Step-by-step instructions always start from the dashboard, so you can follow along without hunting for context.
Each page has an “On this page” outline on the right. Use it to skim first and read second — most pages are written so the headings alone tell you whether you are in the right place.
If you get stuck
Support is staffed by people who use the platform, and the fastest answers usually come from asking specifically: what you were trying to do, what you saw instead, and which channel or product it involved.
- Search these docs first — most questions are answered on a feature page.
- Contact support from inside the dashboard, with the product or listing in question open.
- Join the community to see how other sellers are running their catalogs.
