Beep. Beep. Wanna see where we've been? And maybe get a glimpse of where we're headed? If so, your ride's here. Just click play to watch this quick video, Our Story.We're CafePress, the leader in user-generated commerce.
What's that? In a nutshell we sell T-Shirts, apparel, gifts for the home, stationery, gear, and other stuff that gets printed on. But the interesting thing is, we don't design a thing. Our shopkeepers create the designs. So every time a shopkeeper designed product sells, they make money.Hence, user-generated commerce. And we're the leader in it.
Shop the world's biggest collection of user-designed products.
With a community of 6.5 million users, CafePress is where folks from all walks of life gather online to create, sell, and buy "print on-demand" products. Each brings to life whatever people are passionate about. It can be a white-hot political cause? A gorgeous grandchild? An obsessive hobby? A funny (or flirty) thought? Whatever...In fact, at CafePress you'll find most everything imaginable. It's a lively, growing marketplace with over 150 million products (45,000 new ones get added daily). And if you can't find what you want just create your own design. We'll print it for you -- whether you want 1 or 1,000.
Set up a shop (it's free) and bring your designs to life.
CafePress is also where people run their own shops and make money. This includes individual shopkeepers of all sizes, plus corporate stores (Discovery Channel, Wikipedia, and March of Dimes are a few of our accounts). With no upfront costs or inventory risk, CafePress shopkeepers are linked to our world of members -- and the latest on-demand printing. We'll also manage all those thorny details of doing business online.Uniting and rewarding self-expressionists since 1999, CafePress is a privately-owned, profitable company based in San Mateo, CA.
