Q: Swell looks intriguing and full of promise.
However, as much as I'd like to leave Shopify, there are two unresolved issues with Swell that prevent my purchase:
1. As much as Swell claims that "digital products and subscriptions are first-class citizens in Swell" there is no offer of digitial product delivery and fulfillment, and there is no expected date for when (or if) this function will be available. In order to purchase a Swell code, I need the platform to handle digital product fulfillment.
2. Print on Demand (Printful) fulfillment. This is a must have deal breaker.

Though we don’t yet offer a dedicated fulfillment feature, our merchants manage and fulfill digital products in various ways, from emailing links to custom landing pages. Integration with a platform like Zapier can also be helpful for this type of use case.
We have plans to launch a marketplace for partners and developers to create deeply integrated apps to add to your Swell backend, and a diverse set of themes to make it easier to start and grow many more kinds of business models. This is where those key integrations will coming into play for digital delivery or print on demand fulfillment
