6 Easy Steps to Connect Printify to Shopify


  1. CREATE YOUR ACCOUNTS

    To connect Printify to Shopify, start by creating accounts on both platforms if you haven't already. Sign up on Printify by visiting their website, and create your Shopify store by registering on Shopify's site. If you already have a store on Shopify, you do not need to create a new Shopify account since you can connect the one you already have.


  2. INSTALL THE APP AND CONNECT

    Once you have both accounts, log in to each of them. Next, go to your Shopify admin panel and navigate to the Shopify App Store. In the App Store, search for the Printify app, and once you find it, click "Add app" to install it. After installation, you'll be redirected to the Printify website, where you will need to log in again if prompted. You'll then see an option to connect your Shopify store to Printify. Click "Connect" or "Choose Shopify," and you may need to log in to your Shopify account once more to confirm the connection.


  3. SELECT YOUR PRODUCTS

    With the connection established, go to the Printify dashboard and click on "My Products" to start setting up your products. You can create a new product by selecting a template, customizing it with your designs, and choosing the variants you want to offer. Make sure you select all the color and size options of the same product you want to offer to your customers. Once you're satisfied, click "Publish" to add the product directly to your Shopify store.


  4. CHOOSE SHIPPING AND PAYMENT METHODS

    After your products are set up, it is important to configure your shipping and payment settings in Printify. Make sure these settings align with those in your Shopify store to ensure a smooth customer experience.


  5. TEST THE PROCESS

    Once everything is set up, any orders placed on your Shopify store will automatically sync with Printify. Printify will handle the production and shipping of the products, and you can track the status of these orders in the Printify dashboard. Finally, place a test order to make sure that everything is working smoothly. This process will fully integrate Printify with your Shopify store, allowing you to sell print-on-demand products seamlessly.

How Printify Works in Shopify

Printify works on Shopify as a print-on-demand service, allowing you to sell custom products without managing inventory, printing, or shipping. 


  • Product creation:

    After integrating Printify with your Shopify store, you can create custom products directly in the Printify dashboard. You can choose from a wide range of products like t-shirts, mugs, phone cases, accessories, and more. You upload your designs to these products, select different variants (such as size, color, etc.), and set your pricing.


  • Product syncing:

    Each product, along with its images, descriptions, and pricing, is automatically synced to your Shopify store, making it available for purchase by your customers. You can automatically import products to your Shopify store.


  • Customer purchases: 

    When a customer visits your Shopify store and places an order for one of your Printify products, the order details are automatically sent to Printify.


  • Order fulfillment: 

    Printify handles the entire fulfillment process. Once an order is placed, Printify routes it to one of its many print providers, who will print, package, and ship the product directly to your customer. You don’t need to worry about managing inventory, production, or shipping logistics.


  • Payment and profit: 

    You pay Printify for the base cost of the product and fulfillment, while your customer pays you the retail price you set. The difference between what your customer pays and what Printify charges is your profit.


  • Order tracking and management: 

    Both you and your customer can track the order status. Printify provides updates, so you can monitor production and shipping progress. If there are any issues, Printify’s customer support is available to assist.


Printify allows you to sell custom-designed products on your Shopify store without needing to handle any of the production or logistics.

I wasn’t expecting much from another online casino, but this one surprised me. The online slots are varied and offer exciting features that keep things interesting. The site is user-friendly, and everything loads fast without any delays. If you’re someone who enjoys online games, this is a great platform to explore. You can try it out at 1win casino. It’s been a solid choice for my gaming sessions.
