I want to point out a potential downside to this method that was shared with me: if your customer purchases a personalized AND non-personalized item in the same order, Printify will import the non-personalized one by itself and your order will be submitted to production if you have automatic order submission enabled. This could happen before you notice, unfortunately. So keep this in mind if you try out this method! You may want to keep automatic orders submission set to "in 24hrs" to give yourself a chance to check your orders each day.

Would that mean that only the non-personalized will be automatically submitted to production, but the personalized will stay "on hold"? If so, beside maybe that the customer will not receive the personalized and non-personalized item at the same time, I don't see a real downside...

this is wonderful and timely. i expect printify may find customized order holds to be challenging to implement because of so many print/fulfillment partners, whereas printful is self-contained. so this is a good workaround. i have to admit i've been hesitant to incorporate customization into my store for this reason. now i can give it a go and not dread it. thank you Trent and POD Insights.

Thanks Trent! Great suggestion. I’m wondering if there might be a way to use an automation software, like Apple’s Automator app. I never used it but maybe it could check for orders daily, make the revisions and submit them for you. Just a thought.

Maybe someone could suggest to Printify that they include a star or number next to 'Printify Orders' and 'Other Orders' to let a person know there are orders that need attention. You'd still need to do all of this, but it would at least alert you.

Hi! I've watched some of your videos and they've been very helpful. I've been working on setting up my Etsy + Printify store and it takes a lot of tutorials to try to figure this out! A few questions on this video. So, if I understood correctly, you: 1) Created your listing on Printify FIRST 2) Then published that listing to your Etsy store 3) Then edited that listing in your Etsy store and changed the SKU number there?

Excellent again!! Thank you Question Would it work to keep the SKU numbers BUT add for example an “x” in the front of the sky so it does not mated and would that send it to “other orders” where you could make the personalized change to the one Printify order then submit?

This seems like a simple adjustment for Printify to compete (in terms of functionality) with their competitors. Seems like this option should be made in Printify so that the seller can come in and handle personalized items differently than the other non-personalized areas....I wonder how long before Printify does this too

Awesome. I actually figured that out on my own bc the manual submission was too hard for me and I’d forget to go in and submit them ( I’m a tbi survivor so I need less things to have to remember, not more….. ). I’d add though that you can just delete the sku and it be blank that’s easier than making another sku. Now my workflow is to publish from printify so I have the mock-ups etc, then delete the sku, I’m glad some other folks were able to figure this out as well bc to me the manual submission makes it not passive enough for me. 😂

Your videos are excellent (I always turn to them when I have questions). I had two questions on the personalization. First, if I offer shirts in S, M, L and Black, Grey, do I need to have my customized SKU different for each one? Or can it be the same customized SKU for each one? Second, if I offered a discount on Etsy for the product, do I need to manually change the price to what they paid when I'm making my new draft/their customized shirt in Printify? Hopefully my questions make sense!

Does changing the SKU work if you're on Shopify and not Etsy? Thx!

Hi! Actually you can do that within one product listing right in the printify listing creation process. When you are in the design editor view if you select both black & white color options for the t-shirt, you can then select the blue box right below the color option that says "Make a specific design for [COLOR]". This will allow you to upload a different graphic onto that color only, so you can add your white text to the black shirt and black text to the white shirt. If you set it up this way on Printify then you won't have to worry about any manual processes and the correct print files will automatically come through on your orders. I hope that helps!

If you receive separate orders from several individuals who are part of a group, they will come over to Printify as separate orders. You could combine them on Printify, but only if they are all shipping to the same location. If you had something specific in mind for coordinating group orders, let me know!

@PODinsights

Жыл бұрын

Hi! You can create a combination listing by adding the product variants for each type of wall art into the same listing. However the shipping cost difference makes it tricky to include all the wall art types in one listing. You can only have one shipping profile per listing, so you can either do free shipping and build the cost into the products, or charge one shipping price for all products in the listing. Posters have a much lower shipping cost on Printify ($6.29) compared to framed posters ($12.39) - prices from provider Sensaria, so you won't be able to charge a price that makes sense for both in the same shipping profile. But in general, yes! You definitely can offer different products in the same listing.

If you get several orders at one time, then you would want to have separate drafts to personalize to make sure each order is fulfilled correctly, but once an order is shipped, it is safe to reuse the same draft to personalize a different order. How many drafts you need to actually keep in your Printify account will depend on your order volume, but you shouldn't have to keep creating new ones perpetually.

I hope that helps!

Hi! As long as the order is not submitted on Printify yet, you can make those changes for the customer without cancelling the order.

Remove the front-design products and add the matching ones you created with the design on the back, and submit the order. I do not believe the cost will be different since it will still be printed on one side. I hope that helps!

A problem. Someone wants a quantity of 2 customized items, each with a different image. There is no way for printify to recognize this? A customer has to a separate order for each image.

Do you save the drafts, for each new personalisation or delete them once you fulfill? It seems like common sense to save every draft for each new personalization, but then you would end up with 100's leading on to1000's of look-alike products in the drafts folder (assuming the products are selling).

I do think that's a factor. Printify does not own the software that all their print providers use for their order management/production systems, they can only control programming for their platform that feeds order information out to the providers. I'm sure there are complexities behind the scenes when it comes to making sure the order data flows accurately to all providers. At the same time, anything that happens with an order before it gets submitted to a provider is theoretically within their control, so you would think they could give us some more options/flexibility on how the order workflow works before being sent to the provider.
