Gelato review

Gelato is built around local production: it sends each order to the production partner nearest to the customer and lists production in 32 countries, which helps a brand whose buyers are spread across the US, Europe and beyond. Gelato says there are no upfront costs, no commission and no minimum orders; you pay for the product and shipping when an order comes in. The free plan connects 2 ecommerce stores with 2 account users and covers selling on Shopify, Etsy, via API and Order Desk, plus free product mockups and 24/7 customer support. Gelato+ costs $19.99 per month billed annually or $29.99 billed monthly and unlocks up to 33% off products, unlimited stores and users, 100+ million premium stock photos, 800+ premium mockups and AI tools such as Magic Mockups, Instant Collections and Price Navigator. Branded labels and packaging inserts are available for posters, with inserts and labels from $0.49 each. The catalog leans toward wall art, cards and calendars as much as apparel.
