Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start selling DTF shirts on Etsy?

List your designs on Etsy as mockups. When an order comes in, purchase the DTF transfer from dtf.market, press it onto a blank shirt, and ship it. Zero upfront cost, zero inventory risk.

What are the profit margins on DTF shirts?

A DTF transfer costs $2-8 depending on size. Add a $3-5 blank tee. Sell on Etsy for $20-35. That's $10-25 profit per shirt after Etsy fees. Gang sheets bring the transfer cost down further.

Can I offer personalized items?

Absolutely. Since DTF is digital, every transfer can be unique — different names, dates, or custom text. This is a huge advantage on Etsy where personalized items sell at premium prices.

How fast can I fulfill Etsy orders?

Standard production is 2-3 business days. Press the transfer yourself in under a minute. Most sellers ship within 3-5 business days of the Etsy order, which is competitive with print-on-demand services.

Is DTF better than vinyl or sublimation for Etsy?

DTF offers advantages: no weeding (unlike vinyl), works on all fabric colors (unlike sublimation), softer hand feel, and supports full-color gradients and photos. It's the most versatile option for Etsy sellers.
