Frequently Asked Questions

Is Apliiq free to use?

Yes—signing up is free and there are no monthly fees to start. You only pay for products when a customer places an order. A VIP membership is available for sellers who want discounts across all products and services.

What makes Apliiq different from other print-on-demand platforms?

Apliiq focuses on private-label branding: you can add custom woven labels, embroidered patches, printed neck tags, and branded packaging to individual items with no minimums. Most POD platforms offer generic unbranded fulfillment; Apliiq is designed to make garments feel like they came directly from your own clothing label.

Apliiq integrates directly with Shopify, WooCommerce, and Etsy, allowing automatic order syncing and fulfillment. A custom API is also available for more advanced or bespoke workflows.

How long does production and shipping take?

Standard DTG (direct-to-garment) orders typically take 2–5 business days to produce; orders that include branding add-ons like woven labels or embroidery take 7–10 business days. US domestic delivery adds 1–5 business days, while international delivery can take 3–21 business days depending on destination.

What kinds of products can I sell through Apliiq?

Apliiq's catalog covers a wide range of apparel: t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers, hats, beanies, jackets, kids' clothing, and bags. Blanks are sourced from well-known brands, giving finished products a premium retail feel.
