Frequently asked questions

Is it free to use, or do I have to pay from day one?

The app is free to install — you only pay for the products you print and ship. A paid tier, Gelato+, is available at $23.99/month (or $239.88/year) and unlocks product discounts of up to 25–35%, premium mockups, branded packaging, and advanced workflow tools like Magic Mockups and Instant Collections. A 14-day free trial is offered on the paid plan.

How fast will my customers actually receive their orders?

Gelato routes each order to its closest production hub, with 140+ local hubs across 32 countries. According to Gelato, roughly 87% of orders are produced and delivered within the same country as the customer, reducing shipping distances and customs delays. Delivery times range from 2–10 business days depending on destination and shipping method, and Gelato claims production typically starts the next business day after an order is placed.

What kinds of products can I sell through Gelato?

Gelato offers 100+ customizable products spanning apparel (t-shirts, hats, hoodies), wall art, drinkware, bags, calendars, embroidery items, and eco-friendly products. The app is particularly well-regarded for paper-based products like posters, wall art, and greeting cards. Products ship to over 200 countries worldwide.

Can my customers personalize products themselves, or do I have to do all the design work?

Yes — Gelato's Personalization Studio lets customers customize products directly (adding their own text, photos, or graphics) at the time of purchase on Shopify. Shopify customers get real-time design previews, and after purchase, Gelato automatically emails customers a link to finalize their customization. The basic Personalization Studio plan starts at €0/month with a €1 per-order transaction fee, with higher tiers available as volume grows.

Does Gelato work with platforms and tools beyond Shopify?

Yes. Gelato integrates with Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce, and Amazon (listed on the App Store listing). It also offers a customer API for more technical setups. However, some reviewers note it has fewer total integrations than competitors like Printify, which also supports eBay and its own free pop-up store feature.

What do other merchants say about Gelato's product quality and support?

Gelato holds a 4.8-star rating across 797 reviews on the Shopify App Store, with 90% being 5-star ratings. Merchants praise high product quality, fast delivery, easy setup, and AI design tools. However, notable negative reviews flag unexpected price increases without communication, occasional print quality inconsistencies, and difficulty reaching live support — with some merchants reporting long waits or no response from the chat team.

Will my store's branding be visible, or will customers see Gelato's name on the packaging?

All orders are white-labeled by default, so your customers won't see the Gelato name. However, branded packaging upgrades — such as custom inserts and personalized packaging labels — are only available on the paid Gelato+ plan and above. Because Gelato uses a distributed print-partner network, packaging presentation can vary slightly by region, so ordering test products before launching is recommended if brand consistency is a priority.
