Print on Demand tutorials, resources and seller tips.
My name is Jeff, and I have built a successful Print On Demand (POD) e-commerce business using drop shipping partners for Etsy. I've learned a lot since I started in 2020 and want to share some of what I've learned to help others succeed with their print on demand businesses.

Do the Place mock ups let you find the shirt type like Gildan or Bella etc
How would you suggest a seller to create a listing for a bundle of 5 or bundle of 10 different stickers?
ok so how do I add tax info it said online inorder to see payment from each month on the 14th I need to add paypal and tax info
Do you have an updated video on this subject ?
Hi Great Videos Man!!! Keep it up. I do have a Question. Can you make more than one Combo listing of the same design. So like 1 listing could be a sweatshirt and within that listing you can also offer t-shirts and hoodies. Can you then create another listing with the same design but call it T-shirt design with the same products for sale as the 1st listing. Does Etsy allow this? So you would have 2 of the same listing just the main product would change on each listing. Hope this makes sense. Just wondering. Thanks
thank you for taking the time!!!! really amazing tut!!!!
Can you show us how to use a purchased from etsy mockup in printify? I'm having the most difficult time with it. Thank you.
OMG! This was the video I have been looking for! Thank you!!!! You are the best!
You are appreciatedddd
Your videos are amazing! Could you do a tutorial for how we would personalize products from start to finish, especially when we receive the order and how to handle it? Thank you!!!
The is best video so far I’ve watched that explains the whole esty personalisation confusion saga! Thank you 😊
This video was so helpful!!!!
This was helpful. Thanks!
Thanks
Helpful information! Thank you for sharing
So to be clear, is it saying that sellers can put a name on a mockup & use that as a 1st image? It's not possible to order one of every personalized item just to take an actual photo of it for the listing.
So if this is the draft route, what is the template route and how does it differ from the draft route that you showed?
Thanks for great video i would like to in case of personalization is it mandatory to buy the final product and do listing or marketing because it will be really difficult for new seller to purchase each and every personalized product and do review. Please advise.
No, you don't have to purchase a product that has a personalised name on it. All you need to do is make a mock-up picture that has words that match what you say will be printed on the item you are selling. For example, if you want to sell coffee mugs with a person's name on it, you only need to make one with a pretend person's name on it, not the name of your actual customer. So, your coffee mug mock-up picture can have the same 'Smith' on it, even if your customer's name is 'Jones'. What you can't have on your coffee mug mock-up picture is something like 'Your name goes here'.
Thanks a lot for the clarification.
You're very thorough going over the important changes. I always watch your videos first. Thank you !
Excellent as always!! Thank you
I like you content informative and easy to understand. I have a question concerning the same product (say Sweatshirts) having different design variation for different colors. what I mean is the light coloors garments has a black typeface and the dark colors I use a white typeface. In printify I have the colors seperated in 2 listings, one dark type the other white type. Same product different collors. I though about just posting 2 listings in ETSY but after seeing this is it posible to combine both in one listing, even isf I need to enter SKU's seperate. any adive would be appreciated.
This video was SOOOOOO helpful!!!! I am just starting out and fortunately did not run into any problems with my first personalized order (I think I got REALLY lucky!). Anyway, thank you again for posting this very informative video!! I will continue to follow you whenever I need more guidance!
When I upload my own logo to the store, on the live pop up store it is showing Logo and the name in text of my store side by side in the header and footer. I contacted the support but they said there is no way to remove the text. Is there any fix for this?
Do you need a business license?
I think I have found the best POD tutor.
I have been looking for this forever Thank you so much. It had everything I needed. I will be going through all your videos later tonight. I also had no idea about making draft listing which will save so much time. Life saver. You have a new subscriber
Would it be a problem to list multiple sellers on the same listing on Printify on Etsy?
Nevermind. Thanks, anyway.
how do i add sections
Why cant we use the personalization option as a variation? I had a tshirt with 6 different designs and i made a separate photo page showing them with their A B C… or 1 2 3.. choice then asked the customer to tell me on personalization which design they wanted. I made sure personalization was NOT optional meaning they couldn’t checkout until they filled this out. That left me with two “full” variation spots for size tshirt and color/price. I did not make anything on printify. I’ll make it when something sells. Saves me lots of time in case it never takes off.
Can you do this is Woo commerce
This was great! I could never figure it out before. One question if you still see comments: what do you do about out of stock SKUs? I just created a listing and some variations were OOS; how do I keep on top of colors/sizes going in and out of stock when I've entered the info manually? My usual setting is for Printify to indicate they're OOS so no one orders one accidentally.
Suuuuuuper helpful! Thanks to you and Trent!
Does the design have to be transparent?
Please does printfy accept virtual card from redotpay app to pay with please don't ignore the comment I asked the support center but they just send an articles to me I need a quick answer please I spend 7 month set my brand and make products and with my first order I couldn't pay to printfy as my country make a law to banks that no one could pay any thing from outside useing visa
Is there a way to only use some of the mock-ups? My store is using all of them
I have a question about Printify and Etsy regarding shipping prices for multiple product orders from different providers. I recently had someone order a phone case and a sipper glass which comes from 2 different providers. When the order was placed, I was not aware that Etsy wouldn't charge for each individual shipping price but basically charge one flat fee, which resulted in a small loss for me. Do you know what I need to change in Etsy so that I don't have this problem in the future?
Thanks Jeff for clarifying this! I also agree that there really isn't a truly "passive" print on demand business. Even if the platform (like Amazon Merch) takes care of the customer service for you, you would still need to keep on listing new designs if you want your income to increase or maintain it (if certain designs drop off).
Thank you for being informative, thorough and honest. Subscribed and thank you.
Thank you for the clarification. What about designs we purchase from other sellers that say commercial use allowed? A lot of POD sellers including myself do this. I tried asking Etsy and they said it should be fine but I just need a clear answer as I don't want to take risks.
Excellent Info - Thank you. However still confusing. Another KZreadr states that you need to select "I Did" for who made this then select the Production Partner. He adamantly states this because this information was given to him directly from Etsy CS.
Google gemini says , you dont need to pay in front of customer buying something, many. So its very confusing
That's correct, you never pay for a product before a customer places an order. But you pay Printify to fulfill the order prior to receiving the revenue in your bank account, so your payment occurs in-between when the order is placed and when you receive the payout.
Hi, what poster size you kerp for poster print? Can you put up a video where you show your design provess and process, to learn from !! I am serious.
Thank you do you have any update video for the pricing. Because now i am selling at lost. Etsy fees goes to 5usd, production and shipping become 15+5.49=20.49 so my cost is now 25.49 and the competitors are pricing 26usd. So either i need to change my print provider or i need to search another website better than printify
So what if we want some of our tshirts from monster to be free shipping and some of them not too, because if I change one it changes them all from monster
Yes, thank you mahn. You really took the time to explain the small steps. I'm so thankful for you! Great mind you've got :)
I meant to include that its better than PRINTIFY'S own explanation video. Lol
Thanks for this tutorial! I was wondering if there’s an easier way to batch update print provider in Printify. I had created and published some listings using Monster Digital before. Now I’d like to change all of them to be with SwiftPOD due to the fact that Monster Digital doesn’t offer Bella Canvas 3001 kids sizes, and I want to avoid having group orders shipped to customers in multiple packages from different providers. Is there any way to move a bunch of existing listings from one print provider to another in Printify? The “change shipping profile” function in Etsy isn’t the answer here, is it? Thanks!
Finally, someone telling us not to worry so much, instead of trying to terrify us about all this. Thank you.
Will this still work if the customer orders more than one design/item in the listing?
Are you sure that "Another company or person" is the right setting in the listing form for PoD? That sounds for me that we don't have any hand in the production at all which is not the case as we are creating the designs on our own. I send you a video (via contact form) where Jay Da Souza" kind of proofted that it needs to be "I did", he clarified it with the Etsy support. Unfortunately I cannot post the linke here as it seems
Printify suggests "another company or person" in their help content: help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/4578896595345-What-should-I-keep-in-mind-when-selling-on-Etsy All my listings are set to "another company or person" and the new category field on my listings correctly shows "designed by" as I showed in the video.
@@PODinsights Thank you for your answer! It's a pitty that Etsy didn't clarify that yet. When I select "I did" and add a production partner, then my listings also show "designed by". Furthermore when I select "I did" then I have some additional options to select options in "How does your shop produce this item?" where I now put "It's an item that my shop alters" and I can also select tools that helped my create an item, such as AI. When I select "Another company or person", I have none of this options. This makes me think that "I did" is the better option but I will also try to clarify with Etsy support on my own now.
Agreed still confusing this is the KZreadr & video I was referring to in the above comment. My thought is that either is ok. "I Did" = You made the design + you identify the PP. "Another Company" in your PP profile you indicate that "you create the design.
Yes Cassie Johnson also states to put ‘I Did’ when asked in the listing who made it.. I’m a bit confused now too, did that change?
@@PODinsights Either way it shows "Designed By"
