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?
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!
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!
Made my first personalized ornament sale! Everything you laid out in this video made it easy for me to follow along and make sure everything was personalized, imported, and in production. Thank you, Cassiy! You are an amazing teacher and virtual mentor. 💜
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.
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!
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
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!
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!!!
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 🥺
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 🙏
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.
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!!
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, thank you so much for all your videos and wisdom! You are amazing and explain everything so well. Your videos have been the biggest help on my Etsy journey! I got my first organic order today (outside of friends and family) and guess what? It was a personalized product! Thank you thank you thank you!
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
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
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
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.
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. 🎉
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!
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! 😃👏👏
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
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.
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!
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?
So to make an Etsy POD product with Printify that's 'personalized', the only way to do that is by manually creating the customer's personalized product every time?
That was the only way when I made this video but there is a tool you can pay for now called Hello Custom! It will automatically make the custom design and fulfill it for you now 🔥 Check it out if you don’t want to do it the manual way
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.
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!
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!
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!
I was wondering why you did not start your listing and Printify. This method is what I was taught (start your listing in Printify, duplicate it, then go to Etsy and finish it. In your video you started and completed your listing in Etsy. I was wondering if you could give more explanation on this. I am just beginning my print on the main shop, and I am really focused on learning the best methods because I have to make this work.
The difference is because this is a personalized listings so we do not yet know what the design file will be. So you can't start in Printify like normal. So you create the etsy listing and then once someone orders it, you then add the design to Printify and connect the order by going into your "other orders" tab. I covered this part at the end of the video if you missed it!
Hi! At 7:49 in the video you talk about shipping but I think because you do free shipping, we don't get to see how to do the shipping part with the sizing reqs etc. Can you go over that part please -- for when you start a design on etsy and it's fulfilled by printify. How do you do the full shipping settings?
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.
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!
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.
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 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!
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 ?
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
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
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.
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
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!
Thank you for all your insight . You have been so very helpful . I would like to know when the order is fulfilled . Do I go back to my etsy store and click on completed order. Or do I wait for production to send the order first and then click on completed order ? ( I'm asking because I just made a personalized sale in my store and its a new process because its not automatically updated by printify ) thanks
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
Cassiy, is there a way to make a group listing with two shirt colors (or even just one), where they have about 20 options for phrases to choose from in variations, but also have the option to customize (choose) their own phrase instead of picking what is offered? How is this done? This is how I see group listing variations listed when I am doing my market research. Thanks!
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
Do you customize the order from Canva by editing and then redownload to Printify? Will this affect the print quality if you edit and redownload the new order repeatedly? Thank you so much for all of your help here! ❤
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
Instead of doing a custom size, I choose the option to "edit a photo", this will size the canvas exactly to the size of your mockup! Here is a full tutorial I made on mockups! th-cam.com/video/-5rxiuu2fyM/w-d-xo.html
Hi Cassiy- I really enjoy your videos! I was wondering how you receive notifications that a custom order has been placed? Would you get an email or message from Etsy or Printify? I was hoping I could be notified and then handle the order, instead of having to constantly check Printify. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to give!
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 for sharing. Question…will the customer only pay shipping once? We add the listing to Etsy manually and set shipping but then when we set it up in printify, we also choose the shipping cost. Thank you! ❤
Yes the customers only pay once. You are the middle man for payments, the customer pays Etsy - Etsy pays you - then you pay Printify - then you keep the difference. So Printify costs come off of your credit/debit card. Here is a video I made breaking this down further and going over all start up costs you should know to expect! th-cam.com/video/0uYFmlTGh0k/w-d-xo.html
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you Cassiy 🥰 I made a test order and it’s been 24 hours and I don’t see the order in my “other orders”. Seems that there isn’t much help for this issue that I can find. I went through the steps three times and can’t figure out the hiccup. Thanks for all your helpful videos. You’re great on camera! Xo
This is great information! Thanks for explaining it. From what I have gathered, you don't have to connect your Etsy shop to Printify. You can just take the order from Etsy, and then place your Printify order. That sounds easier than connecting the two shops. My concern is this, I ordered a couple of t-shirts from Printify on 3/9/23 and they still haven't arrived (today is 3/22). Is that typical? Again, thanks so much!
Wonderful tutorial, thank you!! I just had my first custom group tee sale and I've been waiting for the order to complete automatically in Etsy like it usually does after Printify ships the package. Then I wondered because it's custom do I have to manually complete it myself and add the tracking? Sorry I've been trying to find this answer everywhere, no luck!
Hi Cassidy, great video. But I do have one question. I’m still confused about the “Shipping” part on the Etsy listing. It won’t allow me to publish the listing unless I have the shipping part completed. But from my understanding, you create the designs and shipping after? Please help
Hey Cassiy! Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us newbies how to do all things Etsy! You have made it so easy to understand. Your step by step processes are the best! I do have a question. My sister in-law and I just started our Etsy at the beginning of January and we have done ok so far. We decided we would like to introduce custom tees. We followed your video and everything is perfect, except one thing. When I view the listing on our Etsy, it shows that we only have 1 item left. We do POD mainly using Printify. With all that being said. How can we change that, so that it isn't showing only 1 item left? We are afraid it will deter a potential customer if they aren't able to buy more the one custom shirt. Thank you so much for your time. I look forward to your advice!
Actually under "Manage Variations" there is an option where you can uncheck "Quantities Vary". It removes the 999 column. Hmm, I'm not sure which would be best.

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
The best custom shirt listing video for a print on demand etsy stores. Thank you for answering all my questions in this video! ❤
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
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.
So glad this video was helpful for you!! Wishing you all the best!
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. 🎉
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!
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! 😃👏👏
Just what I needed to get started on custom products. Don't know why the custom orders make me nervous, but I've put it off long enough.
This was so helpful for my first custom order!! Thank you Cassiy. 💕
Thank you very much, I am new to etsy and I had this huge doubt, thanks to you I have more light on the process with etsy and printify.
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
Thank you! got my first custom order and now I feel confident in putting it through :)
That's awesome! So glad this was helpful for you, Lyndell!!
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'm actually releasing a newer version of this next week
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!
Thank you so much for offering incredibly informative videos without expecting anything in return. You are amazing!
You are so welcome!! I truly hope me videos are so helpful for you!!
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 soooo much for this walk through! Just did my first ever custom order. Was very nervous, but I think all went well! Thank you again!
Yay! Congrats, Hannah!! ❤️
So to make an Etsy POD product with Printify that's 'personalized', the only way to do that is by manually creating the customer's personalized product every time?
That was the only way when I made this video but there is a tool you can pay for now called Hello Custom! It will automatically make the custom design and fulfill it for you now 🔥 Check it out if you don’t want to do it the manual way
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.
Thanks for the suggestion! You want to know how large to make your design on Printify and the mockups so its the right size once it prints?
@@CassiyJohnson yes exactly! Even the position, high/ low, and pocket prints too
@@steveo.6095 I thought about that too the pocket size logo - I never know how to size it right on printing MD.
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!
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!
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!
Cassiy, you're the Best one, you really know how to make it simple and easy to follow with :)
I really appreciate your comments Malika, thank you for all your support!!
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!
You are the best!! After watching your video, I immediately subscribed. You explained everything brilliantly.
Wishing you all the best!
I was wondering why you did not start your listing and Printify. This method is what I was taught (start your listing in Printify, duplicate it, then go to Etsy and finish it. In your video you started and completed your listing in Etsy. I was wondering if you could give more explanation on this. I am just beginning my print on the main shop, and I am really focused on learning the best methods because I have to make this work.
The difference is because this is a personalized listings so we do not yet know what the design file will be. So you can't start in Printify like normal. So you create the etsy listing and then once someone orders it, you then add the design to Printify and connect the order by going into your "other orders" tab. I covered this part at the end of the video if you missed it!
Hi! At 7:49 in the video you talk about shipping but I think because you do free shipping, we don't get to see how to do the shipping part with the sizing reqs etc. Can you go over that part please -- for when you start a design on etsy and it's fulfilled by printify. How do you do the full shipping settings?
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!
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!
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.
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!!
You're actually good at the designing part. A lot of people aren't.
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!
Just the video I needed. Excited to do some custom designs. Thank you!!
Yay! Thanks so much for watching!!
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
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
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
This was super helpful and exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for your videos!
I'm so glad my videos have been helpful for you!!
Very helpful and detailed tutorial for beginner like me. Thank you so so so much Cassiy! 💝💝💝
So glad this was helpful for you!! And congrats on getting started!!
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, Cassiy. May God bless you. Do you have a black Friday off or on your classes
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
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!
Helpful? This was amazing. Thanks so much, Amazing Human Being.
Thank you for all your insight . You have been so very helpful .
I would like to know when the order is fulfilled . Do I go back to my etsy store and click on completed order. Or do I wait for production to send the order first and then click on completed order ? ( I'm asking because I just made a personalized sale in my store and its a new process because its not automatically updated by printify ) thanks
Omigosh I just asked the same question lol
Actually I just refreshed the page the order is now completed and has tracking, so that answers my question!
So you don't have to complete the order yourself, it will do it automatically and you will find it under completed orders.
I just wasn't sure if there was a difference between the custom or non-custom orders. Anyways, hope this helps!
Thankyou so much for replying 💓 Good luck with everything!!
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.
Cassiy, is there a way to make a group listing with two shirt colors (or even just one), where they have about 20 options for phrases to choose from in variations, but also have the option to customize (choose) their own phrase instead of picking what is offered? How is this done? This is how I see group listing variations listed when I am doing my market research. Thanks!
Thank you so much for creating this channel. I truly appreciate it!
I will love if you can show how you get the details of what they what on their product
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
Do you customize the order from Canva by editing and then redownload to Printify? Will this affect the print quality if you edit and redownload the new order repeatedly? Thank you so much for all of your help here! ❤
Excellent tutorial, Cassiy! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.🙏🏿❤
Great video and highly informative, but I fear at what would happen if you get over 100 orders a day when you’re working solo
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
Hi Cassiy as usual great video.Which custom size you picked for the mock up and create design let me know.Thank you so much.Keep doing good work .
Instead of doing a custom size, I choose the option to "edit a photo", this will size the canvas exactly to the size of your mockup! Here is a full tutorial I made on mockups! th-cam.com/video/-5rxiuu2fyM/w-d-xo.html
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! ❤️
Hi Cassiy- I really enjoy your videos! I was wondering how you receive notifications that a custom order has been placed? Would you get an email or message from Etsy or Printify?
I was hoping I could be notified and then handle the order, instead of having to constantly check Printify. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to give!
Thank you for creating such amazing content ❤ Just realized 5 videos later I was not subscribed 😅!! New subbbie here 👋🏾💞
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 for your tutorial, you are amazing for helping others 🙏
Thank you for sharing. Question…will the customer only pay shipping once? We add the listing to Etsy manually and set shipping but then when we set it up in printify, we also choose the shipping cost. Thank you! ❤
Yes the customers only pay once. You are the middle man for payments, the customer pays Etsy - Etsy pays you - then you pay Printify - then you keep the difference. So Printify costs come off of your credit/debit card. Here is a video I made breaking this down further and going over all start up costs you should know to expect! th-cam.com/video/0uYFmlTGh0k/w-d-xo.html
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you Cassiy 🥰 I made a test order and it’s been 24 hours and I don’t see the order in my “other orders”. Seems that there isn’t much help for this issue that I can find. I went through the steps three times and can’t figure out the hiccup.
Thanks for all your helpful videos. You’re great on camera! Xo
This is great information! Thanks for explaining it. From what I have gathered, you don't have to connect your Etsy shop to Printify. You can just take the order from Etsy, and then place your Printify order. That sounds easier than connecting the two shops. My concern is this, I ordered a couple of t-shirts from Printify on 3/9/23 and they still haven't arrived (today is 3/22). Is that typical? Again, thanks so much!
Wonderful tutorial, thank you!! I just had my first custom group tee sale and I've been waiting for the order to complete automatically in Etsy like it usually does after Printify ships the package. Then I wondered because it's custom do I have to manually complete it myself and add the tracking? Sorry I've been trying to find this answer everywhere, no luck!
Do we also need to click on the green "Fulfill Order" button right after clicking "Confirm?"
Hi Cassidy, great video. But I do have one question. I’m still confused about the “Shipping” part on the Etsy listing. It won’t allow me to publish the listing unless I have the shipping part completed. But from my understanding, you create the designs and shipping after? Please help
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
Hey Cassiy! Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us newbies how to do all things Etsy! You have made it so easy to understand. Your step by step processes are the best! I do have a question. My sister in-law and I just started our Etsy at the beginning of January and we have done ok so far. We decided we would like to introduce custom tees. We followed your video and everything is perfect, except one thing. When I view the listing on our Etsy, it shows that we only have 1 item left. We do POD mainly using Printify. With all that being said. How can we change that, so that it isn't showing only 1 item left? We are afraid it will deter a potential customer if they aren't able to buy more the one custom shirt. Thank you so much for your time. I look forward to your advice!
Go to your Etsy listing, scroll down to "Variations" and you will see the quantity column. Set all of your quantities to 999.
Actually under "Manage Variations" there is an option where you can uncheck "Quantities Vary". It removes the 999 column. Hmm, I'm not sure which would be best.
@@looking4peace1 thank you!!!
Should you add Printify's SKU number when entering the product into Etsy?
Hello, do you by chance have a video on how to customize mugs for Etsy?
