How to connect Printify to Shopify

Creating and selling personalized products with your own brand is easier with platforms like Shopify. Here are the steps to connect Printify with Shopify as your online sales platform.

1. Open an account with Printify

The first step to start your Print on Demand business is to create a Printify account and verify your email address.

After verifying your account, you will be able to access the Printify control panel to connect Printify with Shopify, Etsy, and other online selling platforms.

2. Connect your Shopify store with Printify

To integrate your Shopify store with Printify, access the My New Store tab in the left sidebar of your Printify account dashboard.

By clicking on the Shopify integration, you’ll be redirected to a page where you can enter your online store name. The URL format you’ll need to add will be the one that appears in your Shopify account, ending in .myshopify.com. Just click Connect.

From now on, you will be able to manage your orders and products directly within Shopify, streamlining the process of setting up your online store. At this point, it’s time to choose the products you’ll sell on Shopify.

3. Choose the products to sell on Shopify

After connecting Printify with Shopify, you will be able to choose the products you plan to add your designs to directly from your Printify account.

Under the Catalog tab, you’ll find various available categories, including clothing, home accessories, and seasonal collections.

When you access a specific product, you’ll be able to see the different print-on-demand suppliers available by region or country, as well as the product’s particular features (size, colors, care instructions), shipping cost, and production time.

Once you are sure of the product, you can start adding your designs by clicking ‘Start Designing‘.

4. Customize your products

The next step will be to add your designs to the products using the Printify Product Creator tool, which is entirely free of charge. Drag and drop your images or create new ones, using their graphic elements and AI image generator.

In addition to being able to edit each design according to your needs, Printify offers a preview of your products, generating mockups of your designs that you can add as images to your product listing on Shopify, saving you time when publishing products.

5. Add products to your Shopify store

The next step is to add products to your Shopify store. You can upload your design to multiple products, to a single product, use a template, or select products from another store.

One of the advantages of using Printify is its options for configuring your products, from free product mockups, AI-generated product descriptions and titles, to enabling product customization with editable fields like names, dates, or special messages for personalized gifts.

You can also include the option for your customers to customize products directly on the Shopify product page. Your customers can edit the fields you enable from the Printify design editor.

5. Place a sample order

We recommend placing a sample order with Printify, as samples provide the opportunity to check the finished product, print quality, and estimated delivery time before listing a particular product in your online store.

To place a sample order, select the “Sample” option in the “My Products” section menu, then choose the product you want shipped to you, including your complete shipping address. It’s that easy!

On the other hand, you can get up to 20% off on all products with Printify Premium.

6. Set up shipping in Shopify with Printify

Through its suppliers, Printify handles the inventory, printing, packaging, and direct shipping (also known as dropshipping) of orders placed in your Shopify store, applying its own shipping rates based on the product, shipping type, and customer location.

These are the shipping options you can use when integrating Printify with Shopify:

• Printify default shipping profiles. Shopify will handle adapting its rates to your store’s local currency (e.g., dollars, euros).
• Offer free shipping by incorporating the shipping cost into the product price.
• Create custom shipping profiles in Shopify to adjust rates according to your preferences.
• Take advantage of the standard, express, and international shipping options available in real-time based on the Printify supplier.

With these options, you’ll be able to manage shipping flexibly and adapt it to your business strategy.

7. Design the storefront of your Shopify store

Once you have verified that the products meet the desired quality standards, it’s time to design your Shopify store.

Here are our recommendations for setting up your Shopify store:

• Select a Shopify template that reflects your brand identity.
• Configure your store’s policies, including shipping, returns, privacy, legal notices, and cookie usage.
• Add additional Shopify apps (email marketing, live chat).
• Organize your products into categories for a better browsing experience.
• Promote your online store through social media, SEO strategies for eCommerce, and collaborations with websites related to your niche.
