How do I sell print on demand with Printful (import products and auto-fulfill orders)?

What the Printful app does

Printful is a print on demand and fulfillment service. With the Printful app you can:

• See the products you designed in your Printful store (t-shirts, mugs, hoodies and more) right inside Storeep.
• Import a product into your catalog with its mockup image, its variants and its prices.
• Send each order to Printful, which prints, packs and ships it to the buyer. You hold no stock.

For a large catalog of ready-made products to resell (dropshipping), see CJdropshipping.

Install and connect

1. Open Apps and find Printful in the Print-on-Demand and Fulfillment tab.
2. Click Install, then open the app.
3. Click Connect to Printful. Printful opens so you can log in and approve Storeep.

The connection stays active on its own. If it ever stops working, the app shows the Connect to Printful button again so you can reconnect.

Settings

Once connected, two toggles appear, both on by default:

• Activate: when on, new orders with Printful products are sent to Printful. When off, nothing is sent and you handle orders yourself.
• Auto-confirm orders: when on, Printful starts production right away. When off, the order waits as a draft in Printful until you confirm it there. Turn it off if you want to check addresses first.

Click Save after changing a toggle.

Import a product

Your Printful products are listed under Products, with the image, the Name and Printful product ID, the Total variants, and a Fulfill status tag (Activated or Deactivated, as set in Printful). Click the import button on a row (Import the product). Storeep creates the product and shows a success message.

What you get:

• A physical product, unpublished so you can review it first, with the mockup image added to your media library.
• One option group named Variant with one choice per Printful variant, for example "M / Black".
• The Printful retail price as the product price, converted into each market's currency. No discount price is set.
• The Printful SKU on each variant. This is how orders are matched back to Printful, so do not change these SKUs.
• A maximum order quantity of 3 and Taxable off. Change both in the product if you need to.

If an import fails, check that the product has a mockup image in Printful.

After importing

1. Open the product in Products.
2. Add a description and more images, and check the variants.
3. Adjust prices per market if needed. See market pricing.
4. Publish the product.

How orders reach Printful

• A new order is sent when the buyer checks out. A recovered abandoned order is sent when its status changes from abandoned.
• Only items with a Printful SKU are sent, so a mixed order sends just its Printful items.
• The buyer's address, the variants and the quantities are sent with Printful's standard shipping. Printful charges you its own production and shipping costs.

Disconnect

Click Disconnect Printful at the bottom of the app. Imported products stay in your catalog. Only the sending of new orders stops.

Troubleshooting

• Orders do not reach Printful: check that Activate is on, the product list still shows (you are connected), and the variants kept their Printful SKUs.
• Orders wait in Printful: Auto-confirm orders is off, so confirm them in Printful.
