How To Integrate Printify With WooCommerce

For this How-To article, we are going to assume you already have a WordPress site with WooCommerce plugin installed and set up.

Create a Printify Account And WooCommerce Store On Printify

To do anything with Printify you need to create an account

• Go to Printify.com and sign up.

Now you need a store on Printify’s platform.

• Click On Store and Click WooCommerce as highlighted below

• On pop-up enter your WooCommerce website’s domain name and click Connect.

You will see a pop-up that asks you to approve Prinitfy having access to your WooCommerce site. This isn’t anything to worry about, Printify won’t steal all your secrets, it just needs approval to add items to your store.

• So, click Approve.

If you’ve done everything right this far, you will now see the following image:

Yay! Thats it…. Well, not quite, but not far off.

Check Your WooCommerce and Printify Integration

Now you’ve connected WooCommerce and Printify you need to check that it’s worked.

Check your Printify Dashboard

Go to your Printify Dashboard and look in the top left of your screen. You should see your store name with the WooCommerce logo next to it.

Here is mine for my test store:

Publish A Test Product

What better way to test the integration? Publish a product. Let’s try it.

• Click Catalogue and choose a product you want to use to test the integration. I went for a Gildan 64000 t-shirt
• Scroll down and choose the supplier from the Printify network that you want to use and click Start Designing

You’re then taken to Printify’s designer where you can design or upload a design onto your chosen product.

In the above, I added three color variants and uploaded a dummy design to the front of the shirt.

If you need some designs check out these design tools, my favorite is Creative Fabrica

• When you’ve finished designing, click Save Product on the bottom right of the screen.

On the next screen, you can:

• Chose your mockup
• Enter listing details including Product Title, Product Description
• Set pricing for all the variants
• Product Visibility
• Which product details you want to sync (Product Title, Product Description, Mockups, Variant information)

To get the product in your store

• Click Publish

Check it’s in your WooCommerce Store

Printify Shipping Rates in WooCommerce

If you want to use Printify’s live shipping costs as your shipping costs you need to do the following:

• In your WooCommerce site, go to Pluggins >> Add New Plugin
• Type Printify in the search box
• Click Install on the Printify for WooCommerce plug-in
• Click Activate once installed

Now you need to tell WooCommerce that you want to use Printify’s shipping instead of the shipping rates set in WooCommerce.

• Go to WooCommerce >> Settings >> Shipping Tab
• Click Printify Shipping in the sub menu
• Make sure Enabled and Override are checked

Thats it. Now when someone buys something from your store, WooCommerce will show the buyer the shipping rates directly from Printify.
