Shipping from the US

Every order is printed and shipped from Detroit, and the UK, Germany, Canada and Australia all pay the same shipping. It’s the cheapest for Australian buyers at least as often as for US buyers.

  • Your sample should match every order

    There are no partner printers: the plant that prints your sample prints every order after it.

  • You connect your own store or app

    The REST API and webhooks for shipped orders come with every plan, free Lite included. Test orders use a sandbox flag rather than a separate sandbox.

Questions sellers ask about CustomCat

Checked 9 August 2026

Does CustomCat work with Etsy and Shopify?

Yes. Etsy, Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce connect directly: products go to your store, orders come in and tracking goes back. Amazon and eBay don’t connect; other channels can send orders by CSV or the API.

Can I sell on TikTok Shop?

From a US shop only. Orders go through Order Desk or your own API integration on TikTok Shipping labels, at $1 a package, once CustomCat approves the store; its TikTok app is still in beta. Shops in the UK, Germany, Canada or Australia can’t use CustomCat.

Can my brand go on the parcel?

Only on the shipping label: your store name and return address on a plain parcel. There are no inserts, neck labels or custom packaging. The return address must be in the US; otherwise returns go to CustomCat and are donated.

What if an order arrives misprinted?

Send photos from your account and CustomCat replaces a misprint or defect free. Your buyers contact you, and other returns are yours: CustomCat doesn’t take items back.

Can I order samples?

Yes, at the wholesale price, through your store or as a manual order with just a free account and your artwork. There’s no sample discount, and a 100% Shopify discount doesn’t lower what CustomCat charges.

Does CustomCat charge me sales tax?

It can add tax to what it charges you unless you’re exempt. Tax on your own sale follows your store and where you sell.
