I watched this video a few months ago before starting my Etsy shop and knew back then that I would need to bookmark it. I just got my first Etsy order (!), and sure enough, it was a custom order. Pulled this video up, and you saved me from completely freaking out. My family probably thanks you more lol. I followed along to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. Thank you so much, Cassiy, for your videos, guidance, and inspiration!
Your videos are so helpful. When I am searching TH-cam and see your face, I know to watch yours for clear and easy to understand instructions. I am just starting out and only have around six products listed so far. Wanting to do them right from the start, so I won't have too much rework. Thanks for doing this video. You rock!
Just completed my first custom order. You are such a huge help. I was still terrified, but you made it literally impossible for me to mess up. EVERY step was covered. You're the best!
@@CassiyJohnson Quick question, when I go to my orders tab, it says that my order is on hold. When I hover over the "on hold" it highlights and gives me the option to click "submit order". Do I need to do this as well? or will this automatically go away whenever my shirt ships?
Today I 've got my first personalized shirt order and I couldn't do it without your video. You explain so well and make it easy so everyone understands it. Thank you Cassiy for your helpful video!
Hi Cassiy, I just found your channel and I absolutely love it! I’m new to POD, and I wish I had found your channel sooner. I sit every night with my pen and notepad and make notes from each of your videos. Tonight I wanted to look at personalisation for my shop. Fantastic, clear video. Thank you so much for your videos. Anita from the UK.
I am so glad that my review was helpful to you!! I would definitely love one, not sure what I'd do with it just yet. But if you would email me a quick testimonial I would love that
Cassiy: Thank you so much for this great instructional video. Creating/processing personalized orders was the one missing piece that I did not have in my other training classes I'd taken. Now I'm creating personalized products and got my first sale TODAY! Woo hoo!
Did you already show how to make a bundle of two or three different products in one etsy listing? As example a T-Shirt, a mug, and a hat with the same design. If not, please make one video explaining it.
Cassiy, Thank you for the great video. I was afraid to offer personalized items until I watched your video. I listed my first personalized item just over a week ago, and fulfilled my first order today. In fact, this is my first ever order for my Etsy shop! Many thanks.
whenever I feel unmotivated I go watch you videos and honestly you are one of my favorite pod TH-camr thank you so much I had 2 sales but feel discourage because of etsy fees specially offsite ads but I just look up to your tips and strategies thank you so much 🥺
Thank you so much!!! I ve been wondering how you do custom orders and this is the first video I clicked on when I searched TH-cam. It was simple and straight to the point!
Easy to follow tutorial. I'm about to start my Etsy shop and thought about selling customized products first. I've definitely changed my mind and will add them at a later date, because I didn't know there were so many extra steps compared to selling non-customized products. Will return to this once my account has sales and ratings. Like and Subscribed. Thanks.
Cassiy, i just fulfilled my 1st personalized (& group) order. Thank you so much for your content. I couldn't have done it with out your step by step tutorial!!!
Thank you so much for making these! You have such a calming voice I could listen to you all day! I love that you are very through with your explanations
Thank you for this tutorial. I was curious how people create a personalization graphic and how to fulfill it. It was super helpful, as always. Thank you for all of your outstanding videos that are easy to follow along with.
Oh man you're so awesome Cassiy! I searched for how to create personalized listings and sure enough you came up. I thought, "what doesn't she have videos on!" Really appreciate the value you're offering! I want to book a coaching call with you soon I just want to upload more designs and make more mistakes before booking so we have more to look over. Thanks again 🙏
I just discovered you and I think this is a blessing! Please clarify…Does printify act as your printing press/heat press???!! No need to do sublimation or use vinyl!!?!!! All you do is design…!!?? Seriously!!? I’m so excited!!!
Girl yes!! This is going to change your life if you have been making them yourself or didn't want to start because of that!! Yes I just make the designs and then Printify actually prints the shirt, ships the shirt, and even updates the tracking number on Etsy for me all automatically
@@elizabethyoung3231 So glad I could help, seriously this way is way more scalable! In November I sold almost 3,000 things, I never could have made that much myself!!
I have been watching tons of TH-cam videos to start my Etsy store. Your videos are so helpful and explain everything perfectly! I hope to be as successful as you are on Etsy😊 Thanks!!
So glad you are enjoying my videos ❤️ you’ve got this, just keep at it! Take action, learn, repeat!! Don’t overthink it. It’s going to feel slow in the beginning but just have faith that if you just keep moving, you’ll find some winners and learn and slowly get better overtime. You’ve got this!
These videos are super duper helpful. I've watched other videos where it's just all kinds of fluff claiming they'll make you TONS of money in no time. I know that is just not realistic. I want to put in the work and effort and try to make a decent secondary income, that's all. I know there is money to be made but I want to do it right and be ethical about it. So these tips are immensely helpful! :)
I am so glad that you like my teaching style and understand that this business takes time! Persistence and patience are the two most important things to have in my opinion. Best of luck with your business and thank you for your kind comment
Yet again, thank you Cassiy!. Again that's very generous of you to take me my the hand to show me such a complex process! Would never have gotten this all by myself! 😃👏👏
Finally got my new store open with 2 listings. Thanks to your help. I still have a long way to go yet. But my journey has started. Now for a banner is next. 🎉
Great, thank you for this video. If I understand right, with this method you can continue to have all the other orders fulfilled automatically because you manually import the custom order via "other orders". This takes away the horror of having to manually push all the orders to fulfill. (When they hopefully come)
Yes that is exactly how it works! I have my orders go through once every 24 hours automatically, sometimes I go push them sooner but this way if someone messages me a few hours after ordering to change something then I have time to edit it before it goes into production
So this one is a bit of an older video, but what if you had a customer order a shirt that is different than what you have saved as a draft? How would you make the change and then push it through? Thanks so much for the help!
Sorry if the video didn't explain it well enough, so your customers order would show up in the "other orders" tab with no design attached to it at all. You would then add the design you customer order onto a shirt in Printify and then save it as a draft. Then you go back to other orders and select that new design you saved and hit fulfill order! Hope that clears it up and best of luck!
Excellent tutorial Cassiy! I was wondering how to offer custom orders in my shop and its integration with Printify. It does require a little manual intervention but I am sure helps with sales due to the persoanlization availability. Thanks again and keep up the awesome tips you offer in your videos.
Awesome video. This was SO helpful and made listing customized orders really easy. Your expertise and easy-to-follow guidance are wonderful. Thanks, Cassie!
I had no idea I could put up on Etsy before running it through printify first 😱 so, before I do this if I follow this exactly to the T it will be on printify in other orders because I had already selected them and put them down as my production partner and they will have the SKU correct? Ty!!
Hi Cassiy tks for the vid! You asked if there were any other topics that we would like to see. How about a design sizing video in printify and design sizing on the mocks.
Hi, Cassiy! Do you think you could please make an updated version of this process? It looks like the steps are a little different on both Etsy and Printify.
I have a question: is it important to start the custom listing on Etsy first and not in Printify? Is starting it on Etsy what allows you to personalize it? If you start it in Printify do you get an option before it is printed to customize it before it is printed? Thank you for your videos!!
If you watch the video carefully, she shows how to set up the listing in Etsy FIRST as there is a personalisation field feature in Etsy. Once the customer places the order then, and only then, do we go to Printify and create the personalised item. It's a bit of a commitment to do this as soon as you get an order but quite straightforward. Good luck!
Thank you Cassiy!! This video clarifies so many Qs. My video topic sugestión is group listings(mom, baby and Dady - mom and toddler… etc). I will love to have more info about it!! :)
So glad this video was helpful for you!! I do cover that in my Group listings video, here is a link to the 14 minute mark where I start talking about it. th-cam.com/video/t18osdsmJKM/w-d-xo.html , let me know If this doesn't quite clarify it and I can make a separate video
Hi Cassiy another very helpful informative video. I've been working really hard trying to learn as much as possible, so I appreciate your content. 😁 From Texas
Thank you so very much for this comment today Sandra, it really means so much to me that you are learning from my videos and that they are helping you to succeed
This was so helpful! I was able to avoid a near custom order disaster recently but if I had known the correct process I would have never had the close call. Still getting used to Printify's interface as I just added them as a supplier recently.
Thanks I love your videos. You should make more videos on custom orders but I’ll browse your videos after this one as I need all the help I can get lol.
Great video Cassiy so many thanks. Can you also add to the personalized listing the ability for the customer to upload an image that they want printed on their t-shirt / mug / etc ? Thanks
Thanks Cassiy, very helpful - one question... under description you mention sending a proof to the buyer. How do you work that "turn-around"? Do you inform they have to respond within an amount of time? Any suggestions?
Thank you so much Cassiy! So you make the product first in ETSY, and then make it in printify? How does it link up if you do etsy first? Also, if i have other products in my store that aren't POD, does that affect if it links up or not? I am new and the first couple non custom orders i had didn't link and I'm afraid it won't work!! EEEEK!
Thanks so much Cassiy!! I love ❤ the way you teach and break things down so well! Yet, For some reason I am still struggling. 😅 I think a written step-by-step might work with my slow brain on this one. Could you elaborate below and change where I’m incorrect if it is not too much trouble? I would so appreciate it! I’m needing to customize an item AND create a template. Is this the procedure? 1) Set Printify order to MANUAL? 2) Create listing in Printify so it can populate in Etsy: choose “hide in Etsy” and then publish. 3) Go to Etsy and finalize mock-ups, tags, titles. (I notice we don’t need to fill in weight or dimensions on PODs?) and publish your listing. 4) Order comes in. Make custom changes in Canva. Save as new custom PNG/transparent photo. 5) Place it on a new mockup to show customer (optional) and message them. 6) Go to Printify and upload new design to my library?? 7) Find draft template and locate new design to bring onto product?? 8) Please finish this part for me. THANK YOU!
Happy to help, you are definitely making it a little more complicated and I actually just recorded a new version of this video because you aren't the only one confused. I will be releasing that in two weeks I think but here is a written out version to make it simple 1. Create the listing starting on ETSY 2. Fill everything out and add your mockups that you created 3. When you can an order, create the personalized design for them 4. Go to Printify Orders, but to the "other orders" tab and find that order 5. Click select product, go to the "catalog" at the top of that selection box, select the shirt type, printing company and color you need for that order 6. Add the custom design you made 7. Click import order but DO NOT click "automatically submit similar orders in the future" because this design file will change every time. Hope this helps and makes sense! You don't need to upload anything to Printify to start with because you don't know what the design file will be yet. Best of luck!
@@CassiyJohnson Oh my goodness, I think I got it. So NO NEED to create a template ahead of time! I cannot thank you enough for that simplified version!
Cassie, Thanks so much for the video! I have my Etsy and printify integration set for all orders to go to production at 5 pm daily. I have a full time job and am just starting on Etsy. When a personalized order is placed by a costumer, will it automatically go to production at 5 pm or do personalized orders go to “Other Orders” which would allow me time to get home from work and create the personalized product? Thanks!
The personalized order will go to "other orders" and you can fulfill this when it works for you! As long as it does not have SKU numbers in the listing like I showed in this one! The only time that won't be true is if they also buy another product from you that is not personalized. Then Printify will not recognize the personalized item and will just send the regular items to production and no order will show up in "other orders" I would recommend setting yours to maybe 6-7pm instead so you can always just quickly check these things before they go into production
Hi Cassidy, For these customs. I think an error I made was setting up the original listing through Printify first and published to Etsy. When I got the order. It was already in production. Whoops. I now turned off the listing in Printify so I get a chance to create the item through the template first. Then it should show up in my Other Orders section in Printify. Thanks for helping me figure that out.
I also did this, but am still a bit confused with the process. Have to watch video again. I heard that I shouldn't have a SKU# in the listing. @@hdedona
I usually like your videos and find them easy to follow. This one was confusing, I want to start doing custom listings now that I'm comfortable and familiar with Printify and Etsy, but I didn't follow a lot of that.
Sorry to hear that! Here is a quick breakdown 1, Make a custom listing starting on Etsy 2. When you get an order, go to Etsy and add the custom design they ordered to a t-shirt and save as a draft instead of publishing 3. go to your other orders tab 4. find that order and select the custom design you just uploaded 5. Click fulfill!
All your videos are so helpful and include excellent content. I do have a questions regarding how the customized item shows in my shop. Next to the price on the landing page of the item in red it says "Only 1 available". Is that going to affect or deter customers in any way? Is there something I can do so that it does not show up in a custom order? Thanks for all you do to assist us in our business!
I have a few questions: 1) for our first listing post on etsy do we make a fake listing and then delete it? 2) is it important to have our first listing on etsy optimized as much as possible as in the best design,, pictures, size chart. SInce etsy's algorithm is at its best for the first listing 3) after we make our first listing how long after should we make our 2nd,3rd,4th listing at what pace?
1. Yes create a dummy listing and then delete it 2. It is important to have your listing optimized to help it's conversions, but even if your first listing sucks, it won't affect your next listing. They are ranked independently. 3. I would make new listings as often as you can in the beginning until you get comfortable and start learning how to design better, do better seo, find better niches etc. Hope that helps and good luck!!
Hi Cassiy! I have a question. If I create a personalized listing in Etsy (from duplicating an already existing listing), changing all of the title, tags and pictures, prices and colors, without sku numbers AND then go to Printify and create the product, WHEN and IF the product sells, when and where do I insert the sku number? In the "other orders" section? Do I need to add it in the Etsy listing? Or is it already in the Printify non published product? I hope this makes sense.,
Same question. Created everything in printify and think left it unpublished for now-I dont know if I publish to etsy then go in and add personalization on etsy though ?
Thanks, I was wondering how I could make those personalized products, was afraid to post them because I didn't know what comes next when someone orders it 😂
Thanks for this tutorial! Do you recommend charging extra if someone just messaged you to customize a regular school shirt that's currently listed on your shop? If so, how much will it be? If it's a group order, do you charge that amount for each of the shirts ordered or is it just a one time customization fee?Thanks in advance for your help!
I am confused where you create a listing on Etsy first with the personalizable design, then how it’s linked to Printify and show up on Other orders tab when customers order it? And you would have to manually change the design every time right?
Yes if it's a custom design, like someones last name, then you would start in Etsy. Then the order will show up in your "other orders" tab since this is any order not fulfilled thru Printify that is made on your store. You would then make the custom design and save it to Printify as a shirt but instead of publishing to your store, you would save as a draft. Then go into the other order and select that custom design. This definitely is a time consuming thing to do but personalized orders do sell well on etsy, so you have to decide if this is something you are willing to spend the time on or not
Can you please show how to handle shipping? you put it as free shipping" but then how does printify calculates it as free shipping? I know they calculate taxes and shipping at the end! Please send me a video if theres one. Thank you
You have helped me so much, I got my first sale last week and am excited to try and get more! I do have a question for personalized orders can you create a template and add the SKU when you create the listing on Etsy then edit it before sending it to production once it has been purchased?

This was so helpful! I was able to avoid a near custom order disaster recently but if I had known the correct process I would have never had the close call. Still getting used to Printify's interface as I just added them as a supplier recently.
Glad you figured it out and hopefully this video helps a lot moving forward!
Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
appreciate for sharing this with us, excellent video
Hi, I am learning all from A to Z from your amazing videos. Just a side note, you have a typo of the word Unisex. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Ahh darn, I am always making typos lol thanks for the heads up!
Helpful? This was amazing. Thanks so much, Amazing Human Being.
YES! JUST WHAT I NEEDED, TY!!!
You're actually good at the designing part. A lot of people aren't.
Thanks I love your videos. You should make more videos on custom orders but I’ll browse your videos after this one as I need all the help I can get lol.
Thank you so much for this video! I was so confused on how to make custom listings until now. You made it so clear and understandable. 2:15 10/16/23
Great video Cassiy so many thanks. Can you also add to the personalized listing the ability for the customer to upload an image that they want printed on their t-shirt / mug / etc ? Thanks
Question: around 10:25 when you say “it’ll have options for what they actually ordered” where will it show the customization options they put?
you just convinced me on doing it
Thanks Cassiy, very helpful - one question... under description you mention sending a proof to the buyer. How do you work that "turn-around"? Do you inform they have to respond within an amount of time? Any suggestions?
Thank you so much!!! Love & deeply appreciate all of your content and skills you share.
Hi Alyssa!! I’m so glad you’ve found my content to be valuable! I appreciate your comment! ❤️
Thank you so much Cassiy! So you make the product first in ETSY, and then make it in printify? How does it link up if you do etsy first? Also, if i have other products in my store that aren't POD, does that affect if it links up or not? I am new and the first couple non custom orders i had didn't link and I'm afraid it won't work!! EEEEK!
Excellent tutorial, Cassiy! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.🙏🏿❤
Thanks a ton, this was super helpful!
Great video, appreciate you sharing it!
Thanks so much Cassiy!! I love ❤ the way you teach and break things down so well! Yet, For some reason I am still struggling. 😅 I think a written step-by-step might work with my slow brain on this one. Could you elaborate below and change where I’m incorrect if it is not too much trouble? I would so appreciate it! I’m needing to customize an item AND create a template. Is this the procedure?
1) Set Printify order to MANUAL?
2) Create listing in Printify so it can populate in Etsy: choose “hide in Etsy” and then publish.
3) Go to Etsy and finalize mock-ups, tags, titles. (I notice we don’t need to fill in weight or dimensions on PODs?) and publish your listing.
4) Order comes in. Make custom changes in Canva. Save as new custom PNG/transparent photo.
5) Place it on a new mockup to show customer (optional) and message them.
6) Go to Printify and upload new design to my library??
7) Find draft template and locate new design to bring onto product??
8) Please finish this part for me.
THANK YOU!
Happy to help, you are definitely making it a little more complicated and I actually just recorded a new version of this video because you aren't the only one confused. I will be releasing that in two weeks I think but here is a written out version to make it simple
1. Create the listing starting on ETSY
2. Fill everything out and add your mockups that you created
3. When you can an order, create the personalized design for them
4. Go to Printify Orders, but to the "other orders" tab and find that order
5. Click select product, go to the "catalog" at the top of that selection box, select the shirt type, printing company and color you need for that order
6. Add the custom design you made
7. Click import order but DO NOT click "automatically submit similar orders in the future" because this design file will change every time.
Hope this helps and makes sense! You don't need to upload anything to Printify to start with because you don't know what the design file will be yet. Best of luck!
@@CassiyJohnson Oh my goodness, I think I got it. So NO NEED to create a template ahead of time! I cannot thank you enough for that simplified version!
very helpful, worth the watch
Cassie, Thanks so much for the video! I have my Etsy and printify integration set for all orders to go to production at 5 pm daily. I have a full time job and am just starting on Etsy. When a personalized order is placed by a costumer, will it automatically go to production at 5 pm or do personalized orders go to “Other Orders” which would allow me time to get home from work and create the personalized product? Thanks!
The personalized order will go to "other orders" and you can fulfill this when it works for you! As long as it does not have SKU numbers in the listing like I showed in this one!
The only time that won't be true is if they also buy another product from you that is not personalized. Then Printify will not recognize the personalized item and will just send the regular items to production and no order will show up in "other orders"
I would recommend setting yours to maybe 6-7pm instead so you can always just quickly check these things before they go into production
Wow! Thanks so much for the quick response. So I should remove all SKU numbers from all personalizable listings? I guess that makes sense.
Hi Cassidy,
For these customs. I think an error I made was setting up the original listing through Printify first and published to Etsy. When I got the order. It was already in production. Whoops. I now turned off the listing in Printify so I get a chance to create the item through the template first. Then it should show up in my Other Orders section in Printify. Thanks for helping me figure that out.
I did this too and came here to figure out how to fix it. Thank you so much for leaving this helpful comment!
I also did this, but am still a bit confused with the process. Have to watch video again. I heard that I shouldn't have a SKU# in the listing. @@hdedona
I usually like your videos and find them easy to follow. This one was confusing, I want to start doing custom listings now that I'm comfortable and familiar with Printify and Etsy, but I didn't follow a lot of that.
Sorry to hear that! Here is a quick breakdown
1, Make a custom listing starting on Etsy
2. When you get an order, go to Etsy and add the custom design they ordered to a t-shirt and save as a draft instead of publishing
3. go to your other orders tab
4. find that order and select the custom design you just uploaded
5. Click fulfill!
Thank you so much, Cassiy. May God bless you. Do you have a black Friday off or on your classes
I will love if you can show how you get the details of what they what on their product
Thank you so much for creating this channel. I truly appreciate it!
All your videos are so helpful and include excellent content. I do have a questions regarding how the customized item shows in my shop. Next to the price on the landing page of the item in red it says "Only 1 available". Is that going to affect or deter customers in any way? Is there something I can do so that it does not show up in a custom order?
Thanks for all you do to assist us in our business!
I have a few questions:
1) for our first listing post on etsy do we make a fake listing and then delete it?
2) is it important to have our first listing on etsy optimized as much as possible as in the best design,, pictures, size chart. SInce etsy's algorithm is at its best for the first listing
3) after we make our first listing how long after should we make our 2nd,3rd,4th listing at what pace?
1. Yes create a dummy listing and then delete it
2. It is important to have your listing optimized to help it's conversions, but even if your first listing sucks, it won't affect your next listing. They are ranked independently.
3. I would make new listings as often as you can in the beginning until you get comfortable and start learning how to design better, do better seo, find better niches etc.
Hope that helps and good luck!!
THANKS A BUNCH, AMAZING VIDEO!!!
Thak you for your video, I want to do mugs, and perhaps t-shirts but get overwhelmed. I'm glad for these videos.
Hi Cassiy! I have a question. If I create a personalized listing in Etsy (from duplicating an already existing listing), changing all of the title, tags and pictures, prices and colors, without sku numbers AND then go to Printify and create the product, WHEN and IF the product sells, when and where do I insert the sku number? In the "other orders" section? Do I need to add it in the Etsy listing? Or is it already in the Printify non published product? I hope this makes sense.,
Same question. Created everything in printify and think left it unpublished for now-I dont know if I publish to etsy then go in and add personalization on etsy though ?
This part of the process confuses me, too. @@KimberCatLuna
Your information is inspirational.
Thank you so so much! I am so glad to bring you some inspiration for your own business
ill definitely try that, thanks!
Thanks, I was wondering how I could make those personalized products, was afraid to post them because I didn't know what comes next when someone orders it 😂
Thank you for your tutorial, you are amazing for helping others 🙏
Thanks for this tutorial! Do you recommend charging extra if someone just messaged you to customize a regular school shirt that's currently listed on your shop? If so, how much will it be? If it's a group order, do you charge that amount for each of the shirts ordered or is it just a one time customization fee?Thanks in advance for your help!
I am confused where you create a listing on Etsy first with the personalizable design, then how it’s linked to Printify and show up on Other orders tab when customers order it? And you would have to manually change the design every time right?
Yes if it's a custom design, like someones last name, then you would start in Etsy. Then the order will show up in your "other orders" tab since this is any order not fulfilled thru Printify that is made on your store. You would then make the custom design and save it to Printify as a shirt but instead of publishing to your store, you would save as a draft. Then go into the other order and select that custom design.
This definitely is a time consuming thing to do but personalized orders do sell well on etsy, so you have to decide if this is something you are willing to spend the time on or not
Can you please show how to handle shipping? you put it as free shipping" but then how does printify calculates it as free shipping? I know they calculate taxes and shipping at the end! Please send me a video if theres one. Thank you
Just what I was looking for, thank you!
So glad! Thanks for watching! ❤️

wow, great video. thanks so much
You have helped me so much, I got my first sale last week and am excited to try and get more! I do have a question for personalized orders can you create a template and add the SKU when you create the listing on Etsy then edit it before sending it to production once it has been purchased?
Thank you, Cassiy! THis was exactly what I needed!
SO useful!
