# Spreadshirt (Spread Group)

> Spreadshirt is a European print-on-demand and custom apparel platform. Its SpreadConnect (SPOD) REST API connects any shop system to on-demand production and drop-shipping — articles, orders, product types, stock, design uploads, and signed webhook events. An older Spreadshirt Public Shop API builds custom storefronts against the EU and North American marketplaces.
