Common questions about Gelato
The same questions Australian merchants ask before signing up.
Yes. Gelato runs a distributed network and routes each order to a local production partner (Australian production partners), so Australian orders are produced and shipped domestically where possible, with delivery in about 2 to 5 days.
Gelato has a free plan with no monthly fee. The optional Gelato+ subscription ($33/mo (Gelato+)) adds design tools and discounts per-item base costs (Up to 25% off).
A benchmark t-shirt has a base cost of about $17 plus $8 shipping to an Australian customer. You set your own retail price and keep the difference as margin.
Gelato integrates with Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce and has a well-rated Shopify app, with a catalog of about 250+ products covering apparel, wall art, and accessories.
Yes. Because Gelato produces locally in many countries, an Australian seller can offer fast, low-cost delivery to overseas customers without shipping internationally from Australia, which is a key advantage over single-location printers.
