This might be the Flimsiest question on here

I wanna know if you can sell physical products on JVZoo , im far from an expert, but
This means an actual t-shirt, and not a e-book on how to make them.
This means it actually being sent via shipping address to buyers.
This means i really need an answer to this question.

    No, you will be better going with teespring or something similar.

        Because it's set up as a digital marketplace. If you think it's wrong - contact JVZoo and ask about it directly.

        I don't know if JV Zoo will allow that because they are a digital marketplace as someone else pointed out.

        But even if they would allow it, you're putting yourself through a lot of work because you would have to either print the shirts yourself or have your orders fulfilled somewhere, then ship them out yourself.

        You're better off using an online t-shirt platform.


        i like the feature of paying % commissions for each sale of an item..
        SunFrog Shirts has an affiliate program.

          Take a look at Big Commerce. It's an online storefront that will do what you want. There are advantages to having them host your site as everything is integrated and there is a choice of several different affiliate applications.

        Physical products have problems that are not shared by digital products.

        How do you confirm an order and ship?
        How would you handle returns?
        How would you handle lost deliveries?

        You sell a shirt, pay the affiliate and then the customer asks for a refund because the shirt got lost in the mail.

        What happens if you have supply problems and cannot fill a bunch of orders? i.e. Your drop shipping company changes terms or goes out of business.

        JVZoo does not want those headaches so they aren't going to help with physical products.

        Why not use a program designed for physical products?

          1. When you make a purchase through JVZoo with Paypal you will receive the shipping address of the buyer to send the t-shirt

          2. When you have a Paypal business account you can print out bulk shipping labels

          3. If the delivery is lost i can offer refund through Paypal.

          I just want to know if selling t-shirts on JVZoo or any other physical product is possible? Has it ever been done before?

            Well for that you don't need JVZoo. The main advatage of JVZoo is access tro their affiliates.

            Will you delay paying affiliates until delivery is complete?

            If a delivery is lost you can refund but the affiliate isn't going to return his commission since shipping is not his responsibility.

              1. That was the idea exactly which is to have access to affiliates

              2. I would have to pay the affiliates for doing their part

              3. If a delivery is lost then i would have to just refund the buyer and count a loss.

              you would have to think out of 10,000 or so sales even if they're are 10-15 screw ups there is still a good chance i would profit fairly

                Are you able to print and ship 10,000 shirts in a reasonable amount of time?


                JV Zoo is for digital products only. There are much better ways to accomplish what you're trying to accomplish.

    Why don't you use one of the many physical good marketplaces - amazon, ebay, shopify, or a lot of others. Why are you trying to sell physical products in a digital marketplace?

      Again thanks for the responses guys, JC Web the reason i asked because i like the feature of paying % commissions for each sale of an item..

      When people get the option to receive a commission to promote your product they are more likely to get involved.

        You can set up an affiliate program on Shopify. Of course, Amazon and Ebay have affiliate programs too but they control those. You can set up your own on Shopify.

          Instead of using a service like Shopify to use their referral service program.

          What are some Direct sale commission based systems that i can use to manage/set people up as affiliates for my own service or product?

          A program/system that recognizes when an item is purchased from a Buy Now link.
          A system where a partner is paid for a lead or a sale
          A system where they get credited a % commission for each sale
          A system where each user gets a unique (id) identifier link ?

          I refuse to use Shopify and go through their platform. Id rather use my own website and offer a referral/commission based program/system that i can have user/partners sign up for.

        Yes, but it won't help you attract affiliates from JVZoo, if that is what you're thinking. The sellers sell digital products and the affiliates promote digital products. You should definitely go with one of the suggestions others have given you.

        Also, JVZoo sends out emails daily to people who make a purchase. Do you really want your customers who buy t-shirts from you to start receiving emails every day from JVZoo about Internet Marketing products?

          Thanks your right, i definitely wouldn't like for customers to receive emails from JVZoo.

          Do you have any suggestions on a Direct sales commission based system that i could use?

    Just use Teespring or Sunfrog. Most of the products sold on JVzoo are digital products like internet marketing courses, softwares, etc.

    You can look at AffiliateWP. I haven't used it so not recommending and I haven't looked up if it has exactly what you want. You can take a look yourself to see if it's what you want. You can set up your own website using WooCommerce or whatever you like and use a plugin like that or one of the other ones.

      Yes that is true, but I need an direct sale commission based system.

      I want to manage/set people up as affiliates for my own service or products so they can earn money.

    Amazon is the largest when it comes to selling T-shirts and Books and other physical products I think your intents also is to to have other people market the product for you if I'm not mistaken but you will have plenty of buyers on Amazon or eBay
