selling things on a phpbb3 forum

Post by tris »

As soon as I can travel back down to Essex to get my sublimation printing equipment up here (Scotland) I am intending to start to produce Mugs and T-shirts etc with the forum logo on it for my members to buy.
plan A was to use Zen cart however that could be messy so I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the paypal donation so orders could be taken within the forum?

One to keep an eye on http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=1358105 Never used it but may be fine even though in beta. There may even be another like it that I haven't found.

Until your journey, have a look into http://www.cafepress.com/ You can open a shop, upload your logo, etc and they print and ship giving you a profit share of the item(s).

Thank you for that
will have a play with the mod once I get that far,

WOuld say I would not trust Cafepress further than I could throw them a friend of mine ordered something from them for another friends child and had it posted directly to them when they opened it in place of the design the child had done on a kids shirt

they got a large shirt with what could only be described as soft porn on it not what you want a 7 year old girl seeing!

I just thought cafepress was a site where you just upload your logo or graphic and sell merchandise?
