Hi there,

Thank you for your review and for sharing your feedback about Gelato. We understand that this could be frustrating.

The limit of one variant mockup was introduced due to some technical complications related to the 10 mockup limit which was present at that time.

We have contacted you via e-mail with more details about this - we will work on improving the experience for our Etsy users.

Please get back to us via e-mail if you have additional questions or concerns.

Best regards,
Andrzej

Great company

I’ve been ordering canvas and paper prints from Gelato for several years. I can fulfill print orders anywhere in the world. The prints are made close to their destination and drop shipped. They ship quickly and have never had an issue. Great company.

I have had endless hassle

I have had endless hassle with this company.
From uploading my art in the right formatting without losing colour or quality (despite it being fine anywhere else) to actually getting prints to customers.
Integration of products was not simple at times, but the main thing is the stock of frames was out and absolutely not updated on the site or through my store even though it was set to automatically update
The customer service email did not work but was still listed as a point of contact, you have to go through AI chatbots.
During the creation and order process, I got nonsensical error messages, or ones too vague to work out what was wrong without speaking to someone who could see the issues on their side

I listed numerous prints with frames for sale, assuming that since I could list them and there were no error messages it's fine. Finding the stock availability is very difficult and at times wrong. The site gave different availability to the representative I eventually spoke to. The page on how to check availability said it was updated weekly but had not been updated since September 2025.
Finally, after weeks of trying to find out what the vague error messages meant, manually checking if stock was in and failed payments leading to hundreds of pounds of refunds and lost revenue I removed all my products. I am using a different service. I have not received any reply from customer services about my issues.

Hi Sophie,

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered with artwork uploads, product integration, frame availability, and unclear error messages during the order process. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating it must have been - especially when it affected your store operations. Your comments regarding stock visibility, outdated availability information, and contact options are particularly valuable and will be shared with the relevant teams for review. We continuously work to improve the platform and support experience, and feedback like yours helps highlight areas where we need to do better.

We’ve reached out to you directly by email so we can review the situation in more detail and assist you further.

I've used a few different POD companies…

I've used a few different POD companies connected to my Etsy shop and Gelato really feels elevated in terms of quality and customer service, as well as typically being lower cost for me than Printify and having a simplified worldwide routing system so I can offer global sales without worrying about shipping being too much, or having to find a new provider in that region like I did on Printify. I was almost ready to give up I was having so many issues with Printify (misprints, severe delays, etc), but since switching to Gelato everything is so much easier, and I haven't had any issues with them.

Order Tracking and Status Clarification

Update:
I initially raised a concern regarding an order and some order status information in the dashboard.

Andrzej from Gelato’s support team later clarified the situation and explained some limitations related to tracking information and older order statuses in the system. I also acknowledge that I noticed some of these issues much later, which is partly my own oversight.

As a small shop owner, I rely on accurate order status and tracking information to support my customers. I appreciate the clarification from Andrzej and the Gelato support team and hope their system continues to improve for merchants.

Hi Harold,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, I'm sorry for any confusion regarding the order status.

I would like to clarify that the order you are referring to, was placed in February 2025 - that's why the tracking details are no longer available. We ask to report any issues within 30 days of receipt/expected delivery date, exactly due to this - it is harder to understand what happened after the tracking disappears from the shipper website.

Regarding orders from 2022/2023, at this time, the "Shipped" status was the last update we'd provide - delivery details were available in the tracking link. In Transit/Delivered statuses were introduced in 2024.

I followed up with you via e-mail with more details, so please get back to us there if you have more questions.

Best regards,
Andrzej
