2. The Tech Stack: Printify + Shopify Starter

Part 5 • Path B: The $5/mo "Professional" Startup

The architecture of Path B is a powerful combination of two best-in-class platforms. Your backend remains Printify (Free Plan), your silent manufacturing partner. The change happens on the frontend. Instead of a Printify Pop-Up, your sales channel is now Shopify Starter. The Shopify Starter plan is a relatively new, low-cost offering designed specifically for creators who want to sell products through social media and messaging apps without maintaining a full online store. It gives you product pages, a cart, and access to Shopify's world-class checkout for a fraction of the cost of a full Shopify plan.
