How to Start an Online Store with AI: Hands-On Print-on-Demand Workshop

Want to start selling online but don't know where to begin? This practical, beginner-friendly workshop shows you how to create your own online store using AI and print-on-demand, with no coding and no stock to buy upfront.

Format: Hands-on workshop. Bring a laptop and follow along step by step.

You will use 3Edit to build your store, design products with AI, connect a print-on-demand provider and plan how to attract your first customers.

Who is this workshop for?
Beginners, side-hustle starters, creators and small business owners who want to sell their own branded products online. No web design experience is needed, and you don't need to buy stock in advance.

What you will learn

1. How online selling and print on demand work. Understand how products are made and shipped for you, and what you are responsible for as the seller: product quality, pricing, delivery and customer service.
2. Build your online store with AI and 3Edit. Turn your idea into a clear store brief, then use AI to create your layout, branding and essential pages, and refine them for desktop and mobile.
3. Get started with Printify and Printful. Compare these two popular print-on-demand providers, set up an account and understand their products, fulfilment options and costs. Find the API credentials you need for your chosen provider.
4. Connect your provider to your store. Learn what an API key is, how to keep it secure and how to connect your provider through the 3Edit integration. Check that it works and follow the journey from customer order to fulfilment.
5. Create your own branded products with AI. Develop design ideas for your audience, create artwork with AI and prepare it for your chosen products. Build product listings with mockups, clear descriptions and pricing that covers your costs.
6. SEO basics: help customers find your store. Learn how search engines discover pages and what makes a product page useful. Practise choosing keywords and improving product titles, descriptions, image text and page structure.
7. Promote your store on social media. Plan content that showcases your products, tells your brand story and builds trust. Use organic posts and short videos to bring interested visitors to your store.
