I just did a search on calendars. Turns out 2023 calendars are trendy on Zazzle. Speechless ...

Howdy everyone. I'm relatively new to zazzle (just since September of last year) and I've been reading the forums religiously. Getting loads of great info (thanks!), but am starting to come to the realization that zazzle is only for invitations and paper. I'm in a very VERY specific niche too, so not surprised I've only made pennies. A few of you (again, thanks!) have suggested as much, that there's only really money to be made in a very narrow set of products that Zazzle offers. I really don't want to get into designing invitations and napkins though. Nothing wrong with that, I just don't think I could get motivated to do that. My question is, are any of you making any sales in apparel? Or any other non-paper products? I tried to diversify into wrapping paper and made a few sales, but it was draining. The joy I got in designing t-shirts was in designing something I'd wear myself and designing clothes for my kids. But I can't even rank on the site despite all your excellent advice. I've spent months on tagging, changing tagging, writing ginormous 1000 character product descriptions, doing cover photos etc. Yet I can't get a look in over 10 year old products with clip art created by long abandoned accounts. There's a bunch of editors picks on products that are 100 years old and I can't seem to get any visibility to even test if my products are worth while. I'd love to diversify into other products but don't want to be something I'd never buy myself (a space birthday invitation or a an abstract skull pickleball set for example). My "trending design" icons are hits that are coming from me, I'm certain of that. I want to give it one more shot but don't want to be disheartened again. I made more money in a week by entering a competition on threadless than I did in 4 months at Zazzle. I understand the audience for my stuff isn't here but am really curious if anyone has been able to make anything other than wedding invitations work? I'm not an idiot (or maybe I am!), so I know what I have is probably not a good fit for zazzle. I just thought I'd be able to get some visibility so I could know for sure. I just don't know how new creators are expected to compete on site against designs from when zazzle first launched. Seems zazzle has a chicken and egg problem for new creators. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Not looking for your secret niches, just some encouragement that zazzle isn't just a paper mill. Thank'n you. S

Hello, everyone! Just like everyone else, I received no response from Zazzle regarding my W8-BEN submission. I have sent three emails containing the form to zazzle-w8@zazzle.com. My first submission was on August 8, 2025 and I have yet to get any response. I've read most of the forums and found out that some of them are not even solved and I was wondering if anyone actually got it sorted out. I'm starting to question the legitimacy of the site :,( 1. Any advice from the staff? Who can solve my problem of personally contact? 2. Has anyone (non-US) actually got their W8-BEN sorted out? In 2025??

Hi Creators,
We're excited to share that we've launched an updated design experience that's currently in A/B testing! This represents a significant evolution in how design works on Zazzle, moving toward a unified tool that serves both creators and customers.
What's Live Now?: Our design tool experience is being tested, meaning users will see either the current experience or one of three new variants. This tool builds on the features you've been using including frames, grids, design elements, and our royalty-free content library, but is optimized to make design more accessible to customers who may not have your level of design expertise. Your existing post-for-sale flow remains accessible and we intend to improve those workflows as part of the next phase.
Here's a quick demo from Sean walking through the experience:
Why This Matters for You: Since this A/B test exposes templates to a new design interface, you may notice that some existing designs work differently in this customer-focused environment.
As an example, to create a smoother customer journey, we’ve improved how “locking” works for layers. Previously , when you locked an object, customers could not unlock the object which caused usability issues when they wanted to make changes. With the new update, both you and your customers can unlock a locked layer. Note, if you originally had a a locked layer, the "disabled" setting is automatically turned on with the update. We’ve added a new toggle called “Disable All Object Interaction” which is located in the “More options” section in the right-hand panel. When enabled, it prevents users from interacting with the layer, and customers cannot change this setting. Additionally, we’re using the locking feature to automatically hide certain layers, such as large transparent overlays, shields, or borders, that might otherwise interfere with customers trying to upload photos or edit text.
After the test concludes, we'll be sharing tips and best practices to help your templates shine in this new experience to maximize customer engagement and conversion.
Looking ahead, this optimized experience is the first step toward a cohesive design tool for everyone on Zazzle, designed to add ease for customers and positively increase conversion to benefit creators. We welcome your thoughts and feedback as you see this experience in action, as your insights help us build better tools for the entire Zazzle community. The team will be reviewing this thread so please weigh in as you’d like.
Thanks for being part of this journey,
The Zazzle Team

I am a Zazzle artist from Pakistan and I have not received my first payment check. My payment check was cleared on September 5, 2023, but I have not received it yet. I contacted Zazzle support about this issue and they issued a new check on October 31, 2023. However, I have still not received the check. I live in a rural area of Pakistan where only government mail arrives. Private mails arrive at a village 20 km away. Additionally, Zazzle's check provider, Bill.com, does not work in Pakistan. Also, Paypal is not available. I am very concerned about this issue and I would appreciate your help in resolving it. Please advise me on how I can receive my payment check.

Do you have sales these days or is your store "frozen"? 🤔

The holiday season is always exciting, and a little overwhelming, for Zazzle designers. For newer creators, it can feel like there’s so much to learn at once: design trends, upload strategies, marketing, pricing, and just keeping up with demand. For those of you who’ve been through a few Q4s already: What’s something you wish you had known during your very first holiday season? It could be anything, a workflow trick, a reminder about deadlines, how to handle promotions, or even just words of encouragement. I think this could be a great thread to share wisdom with newer designers and maybe even remind ourselves of how far we’ve all come. For me, I wish I had taken more time to focus on creating solid, quality designs instead of chasing quantity. In the long run, the “more is more” approach just created extra work. Now I put my energy into strategically planning themes for my collections, and it’s made such a difference. Victoria | Do Tell A Belle

Hello Zazzle Team, I truly enjoy creating and selling on your platform, and I appreciate the opportunities it provides to designers worldwide. However, since PayPal is not available in all countries, it would be very helpful if you could add Payoneer as a payment option. Many creators, including myself, rely on Payoneer for international transactions, and having this method available would make it easier for us to continue growing with Zazzle. Thank you for considering this request.

I have just started a Zazzle store, coming from a reasonable amount of success on another platform, and would like to get an idea of how much customer contact Zazzle store owners get. One of the reasons I am changing platforms is that I will be going back to work and won't have the time to customize designs or even answer customer queries, so I'm looking for a more hands-off platform. Also given the small amount of money I'll be making per sale on Zazzle compared to the other platform, it will not be economically viable for me to provide customer service to the level I am currently providing. I also like the idea of not having to deal with the production and shipping questions I currently get, as I have no control over those things (I'm using POD). Can current store owners let me know approximately how many customer interactions you have per week on average, what they're generally about and the type of products you sell? Thank you so much.

I've not sales from months reported from my store. I'm suspecting about that. I want just to alert the various "Intelligent" that the life is not so easy as can seem... It is long and much more, it's needed to apply and understand, real successes does not come in a while just for fun. Everyone will had his end caused by his scammings some day...

Hello, I am a Zazzle creator Zazzle team informed me two weeks ago that w-8 form has been processed and that my account has been updated. However, when I looked at my payment settings I see nothing changed. It's written in that they can't pay me because my payment setting hasn't been completed and that W8-Ben form hasn't been collected yet. I send an email to Zazzle team two weeks ago and no one responded to me . I wonder when the settings will change and when will I receive my payment. Can someone in Zazzle team here respond to me ?
