You can also sell physical items online without actually creating them yourself and without having to fulfill the order. This method of selling is called print-on-demand. In order to sell print-on-demand products, you will have to create products on a print provider store and then integrate your print provider account with eCommerce marketplaces or your own website and list your product for sale. You need to create a digital design for your product.
