Build if you only need a single-marketplace, minimal bulk-listing + fulfillment workflow; keep paying for the full multi-channel, polished product with many integrations, AI credits, and production polish.

Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need — the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship.
What a replacement has to do
- Ingest designs, transform into channel-specific listings, publish listings to one or more marketplaces, ingest orders and route to fulfillment, surface basic analytics.
What it still won’t have
- Polished multi-marketplace coverage and edge-case mappings for every channel
- Deep, tuned AI optimization models and bundled AI credits
- Turnkey integrations with many fulfillment providers
- Production-grade UX, support, and SLA-backed uptime
- Analytics refinements, A/B testing, and historical product recommendations
What remains hard

Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal print-on-demand operations hub using Next.js for the frontend, Node.js/Express for the API, and Postgres on Supabase (S3-compatible storage for assets). In scope: user auth, upload and store design assets, a catalog UI, a bulk-listing transformer that applies templates and generates channel-specific payloads, integrations with one marketplace API (Etsy) and one fulfillment provider API (Printify via the Pressmatic client), an order ingestion worker that routes orders to the fulfillment API, and a simple analytics dashboard (orders/revenue by SKU). Out of scope: multi-marketplace normalization beyond Etsy, advanced AI tuning, scheduling UI, mobile apps, and SLA/enterprise features. Deliver tests for API endpoints and worker flows, robust error handling and retries for external API calls, and deployment scripts (Docker + Vercel/Cloud Run).

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time — so the same evidence always produces the same number.
