Soft Rebel Branch

Fill-In Store
Shell

Soft Rebel is a branch of South Dreams. This page is a free/FOSS-friendly dropshipping and print-on-demand shell: keep the design, fill in your products, paste supplier URLs, add mockups, and swap buttons for live checkout links when each product is ready.

Use Free Tools
Until Sales Prove It

Build

Use WSL2 on Windows or Termux on Android with Git, a static HTML/CSS/JS site, and GitHub Pages. No paid hosting needed while testing product ideas.

Mockups

Use Printify Product Creator first, then Canva Free, Photopea, or GIMP for polish. Keep one square product image and one lifestyle image per listing.

Checkout

Start with Printify Pop-Up Store product links, Ko-fi/Buy Me a Coffee links, Stripe Payment Links, or manual inquiry buttons before paying for Shopify.

Printify Pop-Up Store

Best first choice: free storefront, no monthly fee, no inventory, Product Creator, mockups, and POD fulfillment. Good for shirts, hoodies, stickers, notebooks, mugs, candles, and posters.

Open Printify

Printful

Good backup for reliable apparel and cleaner mockups. Free plan, no order minimums, and you only pay fulfillment after a customer orders.

Open Printful

Gelato

Good for posters, cards, stationery, wall art, and global local production. Use it when Soft Rebel grows into prints and memory products.

Open Gelato

Gooten

Useful later for home goods and lifestyle products. Better after you know which Soft Rebel designs people actually want.

Open Gooten

Spocket

Use carefully if you want non-POD products. It can help find US/EU dropship suppliers, but check free-plan limits before building around it.

Open Spocket

Digital First

Most FOSS-friendly path: sell PDFs, SVGs, PNG packs, templates, and printable worksheets through Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee, Gumroad, or Stripe Payment Links.
