Handing production to a supplier changes the structure of your store, not just its logistics. When one of these connects, Shopify creates a location representing that supplier, and anything they make lives there. An inventory item attached to a fulfilment service location cannot be attached to any other location at the same time, so the same item cannot also sit on a shelf you control.

The rest follows sensibly enough. An order containing both a printed shirt and something you pack yourself splits automatically into separate fulfilment jobs at different locations. Requests go to the supplier, who can accept or decline them. And Shopify does have a cost field on each item, which is what makes real margin visible in your reporting, so whether anything fills it in is worth checking rather than assuming.

What to look for in a Printing app

You cannot hold your own stock of the same item: Because the supplier's location owns the inventory record exclusively, a product cannot be both printed on demand and stocked by you. If you want to keep a few of the bestsellers on hand for fast shipping, that has to be a separate product, with everything duplicated that implies.
Whether your margins are actually visible: Your profit reporting is only as good as the cost recorded against each item. Ask whether the app writes its base price there, and if it does not, whether you are prepared to maintain those numbers by hand as the supplier's prices move. Plenty of stores run for years without noticing this is empty.
What happens when a print is wrong: You never held the item, so a return is a conversation between you, the customer and a supplier who made it. Find out who pays for a reprint, where the bad one goes, and how long it takes, because this is the part that decides whether customers come back.

What does the Built for Shopify badge mean?

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use, and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring ones with the badge is a safe default. Learn more about the Built for Shopify badge →
