In the set up Etsy section yous didn’t add in what you put in for shipping etc like place of dispatch, postcode, delivery service could someone please help me with this
After the step of designing the product and putting it in Esty .. It was not added to the market, he asked for my place of residence, postal code, phone number, full name and date of birth!
Here's a clearer breakdown to ACTUALLY net a $4 profit: Selling price: $28.67 (with free shipping for the customer) T-Shirt Cost: $17.50 ($15.42 is the sale price at the moment) Shipping Cost: $4 Etsy Fees: $ 3.17 To net $4 with the normal costs of T shirts ($17.50) you would need to sell at $28.67. To net $4 at the sale price you would need to sell at $26.37.
@@Hirthirthirt So you arbitrarily selected a t-shirt out of the 30+ they have available and expected the prices to be the same as the one I used in the example?
Regarding fulfilment center locations, I was going to add Valencia, CA like you did in this tutorial but when I went to the Printful Contact page, Valencia, CA was not listed. So, I used Charlotte, NC instead.
Hi everyone! How come in the two videos I've seen from Printful about setting up my Etsy store they forget to mention somethings? For example when I'm trying to save my first listing they ask me for package weight and size.
Hey! This information probably isn't necessary as we're creating shipping profiles for your store automatically, but please send a message to support@printful.com, so we can have a closer look. 🙂
Great tutorial! I would just like to seek your guidance regarding global shipping. It seems that Etsy only allows for one country of origine and it uses this, along with the destination address of the consumer, to decide whether to apply local taxes at check-out. So if the country of origin is set to the USA and a consumer in Canada orders a product, Etsy wouldn't apply GST/HST despite a high probability that the product will be fulfilled in Canada. What would you advise in order to mitigate any risks pertaining to this?
I decided to go with Printful but after creating three t shirt designs and loading them onto my Etsy shop via Printful I find in the sizing drop down box each size has the term 'US Letter' alongside. I have Googled this term and the clue is in the title...it refers to paper sizing! I have contacted both Printful and Etsy about this. Printful blames Etsy as US Letter only shows once the product has been exported to Etsy and it cannot be deleted from Etsy sizing, but Esty say (and it makes total sense) that they have nothing to do with anything that has been exported to their site via Printful and that's why I cannot edit or delete it. I don't think anyone will buy from me as this sizing text is very confusing (btw I am in the UK). What's the work around for this? I am feeling very frustrated after putting in so much work. I wonder if I change to Printify I'll have the same problem with the Etsy sizing saying 'US Letter'...
I came across the same problem last night. I agree, I do not want to show “US Letter” next to my apparel size selection. In the past, I thought it was an option on Etsy side, but I couldn’t find that option anywhere. However, I’m going to recreate this listing starting from Etsy side and go from there. I’ve played around with the Manage Variations section in the past, so I’ll try that again!
Hi, I have a quick question. When setting up my Etsy store I selected my production partner in Chatsworth CA in the next section it asked for a zip...Do we enter the Printful location in Chatsworth or Valencia? I saw two addresses for Printful. Please advice. Thank you.
I am having an issue with the tutorial shipping directions. If I offer free shipping in the U.S., do I need to manually adjust it on Etsy for other countries. Everything I see elsewhere gives different prices for other countries, but my etsy says free for eery country meaning I would eat the cost for all these higher prices, correct? And it doesn't automatically add the shipping cost to the retail price either. If the mug was 6.99 and I chose a $5 profit and it says shipping is $6.99, why is it listing from Printful to etsy at $14.99? I would have to manually change the price of profit to $12 dollars to make up for the shipping, correct?
do we create a listing on Etsy first (after creating a Printful account and linking to the shop) or do we create the Printful stuff first (template and product) and it shows up automatically on the Etsy shop as a draft? I'm a bit confused on the order of things.
Hey! In order to connect Printful to your Etsy store, you need to have at least one listing on Etsy already. When registering with Etsy, you have to create your first listing already, sort of like a mock listing. Don't delete it until you connect Printful to your store. Once that's done, you can start creating and adding products on Printful and delete your mock listing. 🙂
Printful is a print-on-demand service, which means that they handle the printing and shipping of products as soon as an order is placed on your store. The process is fully automated, so you don't have to "initiate" the shipping process. As soon as an order is placed, Printful takes care of printing, packaging and shipping the product directly to your customer. You simply manage your store and receive the profits from the sales. This allows you to focus on marketing and promoting your store, while leaving the fulfillment process to Printful.
Thanks for the informative video, but it seems that you skipped the part what to select in order to see Production Partner selector. I found it in another video
Hi there! We're glad you liked the video! 🙌 We've got you covered, our Big Cartel tutorial is already up here ➡️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zDQD5m_vSws.html
Contacts link does not take you to the Contacts page, all I need is a zip code and I am having to re-watch this video to find it... You skip a lot of steps involved in synching and adding items.
*Hello sir. I have managed to connect successfully. I am located in London. I was doing a test on my product. I noticed that it says 'dispatched from USA'. Shouldn't it be saying 'dispatched from UK' instead?* I am new to this
Hey! 😎 That depends on what the product is, its availability across our facilities, and also on where the order is shipped to. We'll automatically route it to the facility that can fulfill your order the most efficiently. If it's a product that can be fulfilled in the US only, it will be shipped from the US. If the delivery address is in the UK and the product can be fulfilled in the UK as well, the product most likely will be fulfilled and shipped locally. Feel free to email us at support@printful.com, so we can elaborate!
The money you make from orders comes in through Etsy to whichever payment method you add. Printful only takes out the product cost and you can learn how it all works here: www.printful.com/payments-guide
Great Tutorial! I have 2 Questions please : Does the Free Plan on Printful allow us to connect to Etsy or should we upgrade? How about using the already existing designs on Etsy to Printful is this possible? Thank you!
Hey! You don't need to have a paid Printful subscription to connect to Etsy-it's free! As for designs that you have on your Etsy store, you'll need to upload them to Printful and place on products you'd like to sell. 😉
I keep on trying to add more products (I just have one tote bag in the Etsy shop) but when I get to the ''Details''; the product looks plain again and this comes up: ''We failed to load your sections. Please check your store to make sure they’re added correctly'' . It is connected to Etsy, so I don't know what to do.
Hello and thank you for all the good information! I have a question; i'm a digital artist and want to sell some of my creations on shirts, mugs, phone cases... Except for ordering myself and being my first custommer, how do I know if the quality of my pictures are good enough to be printed on a product?
What's up, I have learned that no less than 300dpi artwork should be used, anything less will come out blurry. Anything above that will just increase the file size. (Max file size is 200MB.) Also, change your color profile to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 when creating for printing. Once you add your design to printful to create a product (shirt,mug, etc..) you'll be able to see the "print quality" when you're placing your art on an item. ✌🏻Peace
@@ELBONITIYO20 Hey! Thanks a lot for the answer! Yeah thankfully I've taken a habit of always working in 300 ppi. So no problem for that. But I'm not sure for the sRGB as this is only for screen display. Printers work on CMYK so the results will be different is your picture is sRGB. At least I think!
@@dgr.visuals You're Welcome! and that is true but as per Printfuls guidelines. sRGB is better for DTG (Direct To Garment) printing because it has a wider color profile. My image was created a while ago and I believe I used sRGB due to not being familiar with or not knowing how to change it to CYMK. But I used the same image to print out a 4'x4' for a Tshirt chest peice. I have attempted to post a link that can provide you with more/better info regarding the Printful process but RU-vid doesnt allow it.
Hello! I'm just learning))) Created several designs on Printful. But they are not loaded into the store on Etsy.. Printful is associated with Etsy. I used their tools. But they don't load... Maybe the photos need to be reduced somehow... For me, this science is not yet clear...Please help me to understand this topic. With respect. Diana.
I connected Printful to my Etsy store. I am having trouble with my shirt design not carrying over to the Details page. This is the path I am using (Add Product-from my store, My Product Templates, choose Shirt with template, Proceed to Mockups, Basic Mockups, Proceed to details). No matter what product i choose, the design disappears when I get to the Details page. I have emailed Printful but have not received an answer yet. I appreciate any help!
Thank you for the helpful video. Can you tell me if I can add two personlisations on a tea shirt, like "MADDY" likes CHOCOLATE for example. Thanks very much for your help
I stuck with create listing on Etsy step 4th (How you'll get paid) because on this step I need to fill in my info and connected bank location and the problem is I cannot find my country (Cambodia) and how do I pass this step. Do you have any solutions for me with this concern. Thanks
Hey, Manish! Etsy doesn't support express shipping, unfortunately. However, you may still be able to upgrade the shipping method for some orders if you check the shipping options on your Printful profile after they've has been placed. The express shipping options will show up if they're available.
Hello! Why, after creating layouts, when going to the page to enter product data, my design disappears from the T-shirt? What to do? With respect. Dianа.
Setting up my mock listing, etsy is asking for bank info for how i'll get paid and setting up billing but you didn't show this part, it looks like i need to complete these steps before i can connect etsy to printful... because nothing happens when i try to add etsy. pls confirm i don't want to mess up anyting thank you
The tutorial for setting up the etsy shop account was not fully demonstrated right? I can't proceed with two-factor authentication as there is no Malaysia dialing code (+60) available.
Hey! You don't need to enter the weight and size as Printful will take care of shipping for you. We automatically import flat rates to Etsy (USA domestic shipping only) but feel free to edit them and offer free shipping.
12:31 “add necessary shipping and click on pay”?? Does the customer provide their shipping address that I have to put in then? And who’s paying for it, me or the customer when I press pay??
The shipping address and other information that the customer provides during checkout is automatically sent over to Printful and then we start the fulfillment process. However, if your store or products aren't synced to your Printful account, you'll have to enter this information manually. Regarding the shipping fees, we will charge you for fulfillment and shipping fees for the order. However, you can charge your customer for shipping fees separately or include the shipping costs in your retail price set in your store.
Sir I have very important question to ask please. I am from Pakistan, i can't open my etsy account. So i asked my friend to open a account in UK but I can't access that account from Pakistan, they will block that account. Now is it possible that if I linked that account with printify and open printify from Pakistan and publish through Printify? I mean can we do all the work from Printify and it will publish listings on etsy and will not block that account?
"This account has no associated etsy stores" Getting this message while trying to connect my Printful account to my Etsy store. I am logged in to my both Printful and Etsy accounts and I also have a listing at my Etsy account but I am still cant connect
Hey, Nasif! Sorry to hear that you've been running into some connectivity issues with your Etsy store. Please email our support team at support@printful.com, so we can help!
Which printful fulfilment centre location would one add if we are in Africa? And if you've chosen a US location and someone in Europe purchases, will the item be fulfilled by the specified US location, or whichever fulfillment centre is closest to the customer?
You can choose our fulfillment location based on the region you'd like to focus on more. If it's the US, you can use our US address, if it's EU, then you can use our Latvian address. Whichever location you choose won't affect product fulfillment location - if you use US address, but get an order from the EU, the order will be fulfilled in the EU (if the ordered product is available there). 🙂
Hey! Listings on Etsy expire after 4 months. If you choose to renew your listing after it has expired, you’ll be charged a $0.20 USD renewal fee by Etsy. You can read more about it here ➡️ help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000344908-Fees-and-Listing-Multiple-Quantities
Hi, thanks for this tutorial. I just made my first Etsy sale (tshirt) and I received the full sale amount via PayPal from customer. I already have a credit card on file with Printful so does Printful just automatically deduct their cut (production and shipping) of the shirt from my bank account? Second question might pertain to Etsy instead but Im curious about the tax that was collected by Etsy on the sale. It looks like the tax amount was added to the total amount that I received in PayPal from the customer. Is it possible to have Etsy collect the tax instead so I don't have to worry about it? Thanks!
Hi! 😊 Congrats on the first sale! 🎉 When an order is placed on your storefront, there are two different transactions happening. One between you and your customer, and the other one between you and Printful. The difference between these two transactions would be your profit. We'd simply charge the necessary amount for fulfillment and shipping! If you're curious about sales tax on Etsy, you can check out this article right here - bit.ly/3b5vMd2. Alternatively, feel free to reach out to our support team, so they can explain this in more detail. The email is support@printful.com.
@@deem6930 Not necessarily true. Etsy as a platform collects and remits tax on your behalf in nearly all cases. You might have special instructions depending on where your customer is based (for example, when I ship to the UK, I need to include Etsy's VAT number somewhere on the parcel).
I have a question when i tried to connect etsy account its saying no active account with etsy. do i need to fully complete setting up my etsy account for it to work?
Hey! 😊 Feel free to reach out to our support team by sending an email to support@printful.com or by reaching out to us via live chat on our website. We'll look into that and assist through the process!
Hi, I went on free shipping and the price for a specific price for the USA (3.59usd) was stated. So I have changed to worldwide and the shipping changed to 10.59. You have facilities all over the world, right? Is the 10,59€ the worst case or does no shipping within US also cost 10.59usd just because I have changed to "worldwide"?
Hey, there! That's correct, we have fulfillment facilities Worldwide. It would be important to check shipping rates for each region you're planning on selling in. Then you can compare your shipping profile on your store platform and make sure that you'll be able to cover highest shipping rate since you're offering free shipping. However, Printful's shipping rates are up to date and should already have this information included. You can also adjust your shipping profile for each selling region. Feel free to contact our Customer Support via support@printful.com for any assistance needed with setting up shipping.
Hi Michael! What should I add in the place of "The country you're dispatching from?" since i'm based in India but I'm gonna use Printful.. and also What should I add in the option for delivery service? I don't know since i'm new to this.
Hey! 😊 Feel free to message our support team about this, so we can explain this in more detail. But you can use our North Carolina facilities zip code - 28273.
Why can’t I publish more products to my Etsy store? I only have one active item. I’m not sure what’s going on. Every time I try it it say the items is on my store, but when I look it only has one thing. It doesn’t even show up in drafts.
In the set up Etsy section yous didn’t add in what you put in for shipping etc like place of dispatch, postcode, delivery service could someone please help me with this
Hey! All of our shipping information gets uploaded to automatically, however, when setting up your first listing, you need to add a production partner - this is where you add Printful as you production partner, and can add one of our addresses for the location. Feel free to use any of our addresses listed here ➡️ www.printful.com/contacts
Hey, Tanya! We'd suggest contacting our Customer Support team so they can look into this. The email is support@printful.com but live chat on our website is also available.
When I wanna create an etsy shop I have to give them Bank Account Information. But I only have Paypal. Can I use Paypal instead of giving Bank Account Infos? If so, how?
Hi! Yes, you can use PayPal as your payment method on Etsy, however, you can also use Etsy Payments if it's available in your country. We'd recommend contacting Etsy Customer Support if you can't connect PayPal to your Etsy account.
Hey. Can I promote a product in my Printful store without using Etsy or Shopify? Can I share an affiliate link for the specific product in my store on social media and gain traffic?
Hey, Chanuka! You do need a store platform that's connected to Printful to sell Printful products. It doesn't have to be Etsy or Shopify, we have many other integrations that work just as well. You can check them out here ➡️ www.printful.com/integrations As for your Affiliate link, yes, you can share links to specific products and share them on your social media, in fact, it's suggested you do that as that will help you gain traffic to your store and let you earn commission for every Printful product sold. ✨
hi, at the listings part,i added product templete and generated mockapps but it is not showing in listings. What should i do that it"ll show in listing?
Hey! If some questions still remain unanswered after watching the video, please don't hesitate to send a message to support@printful.com. 👀 We'll help!
Certain states require marketplaces to charge and remit sales taxes for their users. In these cases, we won't charge you tax, and you don't have to charge your customers tax, as it only has to be collected by the marketplace for that state. Etsy is one of those marketplaces. In states where your marketplace does not charge sales tax, we will apply sales tax on the order. 🙂
Hey, Barbra! You can design the products we have available on our website, then connect your Etsy store to Printful, and then we'll take care of order fulfillment and shipping for you. 😊
I wonder why you have a bitly link for everything that you're promoting in your description. Is that so you can receive a commission when people click on your links?
When I attempt to connect to Etsy, I don't get the "allow access" option you mention, I just see my regular Esty sign on information page and it asks me to 'Sign in to continue". What might I be missing?
Hey! Feel free to send a message to our Customer Support team, they'll be more than happy to help and walk you through the process! The email is support@printful.com, or you can use the live chat option on our website. 🙂
Hi! When ordering an item from a store, 2 separate transactions take place - one is when the order is submitted on Etsy or another ecommerce store, and the other - when the order comes through your Printful dashboard, so the first time, for example, Etsy charges your customer and then in a separate transaction we'll charge you the fulfillment price. If you want to order a sample of your product, you can do so through your Printful dashboard directly without being charged twice! 😊
Question about which I am unable to find an answer and it's infuriating! I do the personalization in Photoshop. I have to. Can I upload a completely new and altered image file for the personalized order? This is insane that I can't find an answer to what should be discussed EVERYWHERE!
Hey! Yes, you can! You can change an order that has already been submitted unless it has the status of ''Being Fulfilled''. Click the ''Change order'' button from your order view and edit the products and shipping options from there. Note that changing a product within an order (e.g. altering a product's variant, size, design file, or mockup) that has the ''Waiting for Fulfillment'' status, or setting its status to ''On Hold'', will reset the order deadline. This may result in a longer fulfillment time. However, changing a shipping address or rate will not reset the order deadline. 🙂
Is Etsy allow droppping from Printful now? Many store has restrictions for dropshipping. Kindly let me know , I am very interested to try this business.
Hello. I'm struggling with my sales on Etsy. I think I do have beautiful designs but I just had one sale so far. And I decreased my marge to the lowest point to have my first sales and I had to pay out of my pocket because of the Etsy fees. But it's ok I learned from that. But I think the retail prices are pretty high at the end. Would anybody pay more than $40 for a polyester crop top? Any tips? Thanks. :)
They would! 😊 Feel free to join Printful Insiders, our official group on Facebook to see what other sellers have to say - facebook.com/groups/printful.insiders.
I don't see the production partner option when setting up my store. I'm not making these designs i'm using free images (very cool stuff) NON copyrighted by law and want printful to create the poster wall art/decor etc. How can I connect them if i'm not making the designs myself? Bummer if not.. Under about the listing I had to select 'another co. or person'
Hey, Kenny! You need to create a Printful account and then upload your images onto the products you want to sell. Then you need to push the products to your Etsy store. Once you've created the Etsy store, you should be able to add a new production partner when creating your first listing. If this option doesn't show up, feel free to contact our Customer Support team for any assistance needed. The email is support@printful.com but live chat on our website is also available. 😊
We route orders using an advanced algorithm, taking into account the end customer's address, where the product is available, and other factors. 99% of the time, the algorithm chooses the closest fulfillment center to your end customer, but rarely-usually if a product is unavailable-it will be routed to another Printful location.
when setting up a price for a shirt do i need to add the value of the shirt itself plus shipping? for example on printful, a blank shirt costs $23-$26 + shipping 4.99 so when i sell the shirt needs to be like $35 in order to make a profit???
Hi! There are various factors to take into account when setting your retail price, I would suggest checking out this video about the retail price factors and how to set the retail price with profit ➡️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JCpXFZBb3Po.html
When a customer places an order on your store, that money gets paid to you through a payment gateway we don’t have access to. Since we don’t have access to that payment from your customers, we charge you the cost as orders come through to our system. However, you can enable manual order approval, if you want to wait for the fund from the order to reach you and approve the order only once you've received your profit. 🙂
Hey :) For the first product required to set up shop, before you connect to Printful, you need to fill out all of the listing information. Once you click your store to Printful and use the add button, it automatically fills out the listing information as you add new products from Printful; however, the information about production partners needs to be filled out for every product added automatically. I hope this helps! Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions.
Hi Michael! So I started adding products to my Etsy and Printful accounts. I'm having an issue...so I downloaded basic mock ups from printful and synched to Etsy and everything looks fine (even the preview of the listing), but when I click on printful stores and click on each listing they all look blurry. What is the reason for this. They do not look like this on Etsy. Any recommendations will be helpful. Thank You!
Could it be possible that some plugins or add-ons are causing this? Maybe you can try it in Private Browsing mode to see if it fixes it. Or you can just try clearing your browser's cache. If nothing helps, please report it to our Customer Support team at support@printful.com and we'll see how we can help. 🙂
Hey! You'll need to head to your Printful Dashboard and find the listing you want to add an Inside label for. Then select ''Edit''. That will take you to our Design Maker where you can add the Inside label. Once you're done, save your changes and click ''Refresh data'' on top of your page, then changes made on Printful will be pushed to your store. If you need any assistance with this, feel free to message our Support team via support@printful.com. The team will be happy to help! 😊
I don't understand the purpose of templates. I created a template and now have to pretty much go through the very same steps to create each product. I don't get it.
Product templates are great for drafting your products, for example. Read more about product templates here - help.printful.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014010300-What-s-a-product-template-and-how-does-it-work-. 😊
