2026-08-24 — Initial build

A BUSINESS-DOMAIN wiki (like lead-generation), synthesized from 9 vendor and third-party POD guides (Shopify, Printify, Printful, Gelato-focused, and comparison guides). NOT a spec/repo.

Pages (9): 8 concepts + 1 synthesis (providers-comparison).

Sourcing notes (important):

Sources are marketing/SEO content — confidence is medium overall (market-and-trends is low, single-source vendor stats). Vendor-specific claims (esp. pricing) are attributed to their source, not presented as neutral fact.
Conflicting figures preserved, not resolved: Printify Premium ($39/mo vs $24.99/mo) and Gelato+ pricing disagree across sources; catalog-size and market-size stats also disagree (Printful $12.96B/26% CAGR vs Shopify $13.1B/23.6%). Shown side-by-side with a re-verify-live warning.
Some claims are explicitly labeled this wiki's analysis (e.g. the two-band net-margin framing; multi-provider operational-complexity risk; skepticism of vendors' own profit-calculator examples) rather than sourced fact.
Thin: TikTok Shop as a channel (only integration-list mentions upstream) — flagged low-confidence.
Pricing/stats are a 2026 snapshot and will date quickly — refresh against live vendor pages before relying on numbers.
