The Gelato App - The only complete mobile solution for print on demand

Manage your entire POD business without ever opening a laptop

The Gelato app is the only POD platform where you can design products with AI, publish to stores, approve orders, adjust pricing, and analyze performance—all from your phone.

Competitors like Printify and Printful only offer order tracking apps that require desktop for real work. We built complete feature parity so your phone is your business headquarters, not just a notification device.

Approve orders in 30 seconds all in the app

Our mobile-optimized approval workflow cuts order processing time by 75%. Get push notifications the moment orders arrive, swipe to review, tap to approve—done.

Perfect for busy seasons when you're managing hundreds of orders while away from your desk. One seller manages her entire peak season business from her phone while traveling, something impossible with competitor apps.

Customize what you see so you're informed without being overwhelmed. Respond to time-sensitive issues instantly from anywhere.

The Gelato App FAQs

What can I do in the Gelato mobile app that I can't do in other POD apps?

Gelato is the only POD app with complete business management features. You can design products with AI mockup generators, publish to multiple stores, adjust product pricing, view detailed analytics and profit margins, manage customer support, and approve orders—all from your phone. Printify's app (launched 2024) only offers basic order viewing and tracking, calling it "just the beginning" of their mobile features. Printful's app focuses on order updates and notifications but requires desktop for design, pricing, and analytics. Gooten has no mobile app at all. If you want to run your POD business without a laptop, Gelato is your only real option.

Can I really manage my entire business from the mobile app or will I need a computer?

You can handle 95% of daily operations from the mobile app including order approvals, design mockups, pricing changes, multi-store management, real-time analytics, customer support, and product editing. The only tasks requiring desktop are initial store connection setup (one-time, 5 minutes) and creating complex multi-layer designs from scratch (though editing existing designs works perfectly on mobile). Most sellers use desktop for the 1-2 hour initial setup, then manage everything else from their phone. The app syncs instantly with the web platform, so you can seamlessly switch between devices when needed without any data loss.

How fast can I approve orders using the mobile app?

Most users approve orders in 30-45 seconds on mobile compared to 2-3 minutes on desktop—a 75% time savings. Here's why it's faster: push notifications alert you instantly when orders arrive (no checking email or logging in), the mobile interface is optimized for quick review with large tap targets, you can preview personalized customer designs directly on the order screen, and one-tap approval sends orders to production immediately. During busy seasons, this efficiency matters. One Gelato seller manages hundreds of orders monthly while traveling full-time, something impossible with desktop-only workflows.

Will I get notifications for every order or can I customize what alerts I receive?

You have complete control over notifications. Choose from new orders, orders sent to production, shipping updates, delivery confirmations, customer messages, payment issues, and business milestones. Toggle each notification type on or off, so you stay informed about what matters without notification fatigue. Many sellers enable new order alerts (never miss a sale) and customer messages (quick response) while turning off routine shipping updates they can check when convenient. You can adjust notification settings anytime directly in the app.

Does the mobile app work the same on iPhone and Android?

Yes, both iOS and Android versions offer identical features—design tools, order management, analytics, notifications, and multi-store connections all work the same. The app is optimized for each platform's native interface (iOS gestures for iPhone users, Material Design for Android), but functionality is completely equal. Updates release simultaneously for both platforms. Whether you use iPhone, Android, or switch between devices, you get the full Gelato experience. The app also works on iPad and Android tablets with the same features in a larger format.
