Oh my goodness, I have been on Launch Cart for about a year. I love it. LC actually the fastest growing platform amd are adding awesome features regularly. So glad you showed people LC. The CEO and company is committed to your success. I am not an affiliate, just a fan.
I LOVE this tutorial! I haven't heard about Launch Cart before, so I find this video super useful. Thank u for sharing it with us, Zen. I would love to see other tutorials from you, on how to handle marketing for this kind of site? keep up the good work
Seconded! He's indeed the real deal. Too many fake "gurus" out there so Zen Watercooler is truly appreciated. He's honest, sincere and genuinely wants to help people make money.
This is awesome! Technically speaking, you could avoid setting up a shop in an overcrowded marketplace, hoping to get noticed, or pay money maintaining a site on platforms like Shopify! Granted you would have to do your own marketing, but love the freedom of it! Sort of reminds me of drop shipping with how the money is collected! Thanks so much! love it!
Thank you! Thank you! I was going to ask you to show a video like this, and, ta da! You did it! I also like the Launch Cart idea as it is like Square, where you only pay a fee if there is a sale. I don't mind doing that. I don't like paying a hefty fee for nothing sold. I have had an online store before but I forget how to do this stuff. I also watched your video on why you left Etsy and then this one and the two synched well. Thanks again!
This is great busy putting my products on and so easy the times I have spent whole days trying to set up shops like etsy the other week tried to set up a mug shop whole day and put 2 mugs and they closed my shop and still have not been told why thats why i have a svg digital down load shop there sell between 1 to 4 designs and thinking I must set that shop else where I have in half a hour put 5 designs on now I can set this shop and go back to what I like designing thank you ever so much
I always heard the name but had never seen the interface before. Will definitely be giving it a look. Thanks for helping me learn something new today yet again! 👍🏽
I agree t-shirt sizes are a pain. I started selling t-shirts on Etsy back in 2015. I made and shipped them myself, but still had about 5 to 6 percent return for refund due to sizing issues.
How long does it take for launch cart to release the money to you? For example if a costumer buys something from your website, will the money be available to you right away,or do they pay print full and just give you your profit? Thanks for the great content btw!!!
I was set up on Stripe and they sent the money in about 7 days. So I paid for the Printful order with PayPal or a credit card and then about a week later I received the Stripe money in my bank account.
Another amazing video. I sit here and wait for your videos, yeah I know, I need a life :) The only question I had is it looks like you can't do free shipping by using LaunchCart since you'll never really know what the amount of the shipping will be until you're at the actual check-out section. Is that correct? Thanks again for another great video :)
That's my understanding as well - I'm not aware of an "easy" calculated free shipping option (unless you jacked up the prices on the merch and just put shipping as zero dollars). Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate you!!
In launchcart it's a box to check to allow free shipping. Once you are done creating your clothes you will see the total for printful and on printful in the shipping section is listed the shipping cost.
I am 79 and never have done any of this, paid a lot of money to others to do it never got anywhere. Is there a way to advertise and make things go faster to my store?
Thx for the Great video the only thing in you can not add your own domain unless you go on to their monthly plan. Free plan does not have that option unfortunately
Hi Zen Watercooler. A very interesting video. How does the whole sales tax thing work when making sales? Also how are out of country sales handled as far as sales tax is concerned?
Generally speaking, if you are paid commission, you should be reporting it on your taxes (typically as business income). You can usually deduct expenses that helped you earn that income (like a computer, software, internet fees, etc).
Do you know by chance if by using launch cart and printful, if a person can upload their own photo for any of these items? Rather than putting in my own artwork to sell. In other words every order would be a custom order according to what the customer would upload.
Hey there - yes any customer could set up a Printful account and just upload their own photo and get a sample order printed to their house. But then they wouldn't need your shop (like what value would your store be providing, since they would just be dealing with Printful). Etsy sellers do custom orders, but they are typically for customers who don't have computer skills (or the time or interest to do it themselves).
If you have a store on launchcart and you use printful for POD on your launchcart store nobody buying from your store can upload a photo or anything. All they can do is buy from your items available. Now you can set up an option for your customers to be able to request for you to personalize an item like add the name to the item or happy anniversary something personalized like this but they can not upload anything. Hope this answered your question.
Yes that is the big challenge for any online business (whether it is print on demand or any online store). Basically you want to have keywords in your listings (so Google can find you) and a social media prescence would be beneficial as well.
Hello, thanks for the video, so LAUNCHPAD CART. Does not have a website builder right? Then I am confused if you Connect the printfull to L.CART to Smart then you alzó have todo the oposite and connect LC to print full? Also when you designed the first poster we’re you designing it on LC or printful? I got confused ! And the shipping can also be taken care by printful instead, as well as the payments? … thanks and yes I am an absolute beginner!
Hmm you should have in Launchcart under "products" - scroll down in your listing to "shipping" and make sure that the default shipping rule is activated. You can go into your store and add the item to your cart and enter your address (like pretend that you are going to buy the item). You should see the shipping as listed as "calculated after shipping input". Hopefully that helps? 23:45
Great tutorial. so traffic social network Launchcart or i send link people order buy it ? like marketplace Redbubble ? when people pay launchcart when I get paid a sale ? thanks 🙏
You inspired me to use Launchcart. I'm confused about the payment system, though. I've added Paypal as payment for both LC and Printful. Does it mean everything will go through automatically, i.e. LC will deduct the fees before funds go through Paypal and Printful will deduct their cost automatically from my Paypal?
Yes it's really two separate transactions. #1: If you sell a shirt, Launchcart will take the payment and deduct their fee. Launchcart then pays you (in your PayPal account). #2: Printful will print the shirt and charge you. So you just need to pay Printful (either with a credit card or with PayPal). You can set up your payments right in Printful (I've used credit cards in the past to get loyalty points and then just transferred PayPal money to pay off the credit card for example).
High had one question about the shipping feature and making the items are adding in the Default Rule for my website, when went add that was automatically added, but I wanted to make sure the shipp was not to high for customers
Yes when you place an order with Printful, there's a point where they ask you to pay via credit card and confirm the shipping address. So you can time it where you get paid from Launch Cart and then use that money to pay off the credit card and bank the difference.
Yes (I do this a lot instead of having the interface) - you would just take an order "in real life" and then create a manual order right in Printful. So your buddy wants a hoodie, you charge him $35 (like cash) and then just make an order in Printful and get it shipped right to him.
I don’t delete comments - if you post it, it shows up. If you created the design, you own the copyright to it and can sell it on multiple platforms. Hope that helps,
do customers get to know your address and how do you let them know "no returns"? where do you put that info? How can they send something to you if printful and launch are sending the shirts/items?
LaunchCart has themes so you can set up your store (it's in "settings"). There's a "contact us" window where you can put information about who you are and what your return policy is. Generally speaking, you (as the shop owner) would need to decide if you are accepting returns or not. If you are not, then they could email you, but you would not be accepting returns. If I ever run into a problem, I typically work it out with Printful and they send the customer a replacement (like if the shirt is damaged).
does launch cart calculate shipping for multiple items lets say someone orders 5 different items, does launh cart and printful bundle those together and calculate the price?
So in other words the Launch Cart is store front you sync to Printful no need to upload or join there as you already joined via LC and thus they Printful just recive the order link to print ... So how many shipping payments just LC or both? Or all done via LC?
LaunchCart basically takes whatever Printful's shipping rates are and just mirrors them on the LaunchCart site (your storefront). So LaunchCart really just makes 3% on the sale and that's it.
Business PayPal account: it’s free to open an account; you only pay transaction fees when your customers pay you. Paying a fee when you receive money is a net positive.
That's a good question-I don't believe so (I'm not a Printify expert). Way down at the bottom of Printify's website it shows the integrations (I don't see Launchcart) printify.com/
@@mahasherif444 Hi! I know this was 5 months ago.. but just wanted to share that it's not integrated but you can definitely use the order export tool for other vendors! Launch Cart is hoping to have more integrations within the next 90 days! :)
Sorry, can you please explain this. So we pay 3% to the LC plus whatever the fee charged by the paypal or stripe is deducted by the paypal or stripe the balanced is paid into our bank? is this correct?.
I'm not a tax professional but I can say generally that you would keep track of your sales and also your expenses, and then report that as "other income" on your taxes.

"GREAT" Tutorial video
Do you market via social media?
You could - there are also SEO (search engine optimization) built into websites so if you have a great store, Google will find it (eventually)
Thank you, great video. In regards to shipping: I did everything you did but when shipping calculates, it says 0.00$, do you know what would be wrong?
Hmm you should have in Launchcart under "products" - scroll down in your listing to "shipping" and make sure that the default shipping rule is activated.

Oh yes another question does this require getting a pixel? I could not do that either on other attemps
what difference when you have website built by woo commerce which integrated with printful and launch cart ?cost value
Very informative good stuff.

You are THE BEST
High had one question about the shipping feature and making the items are adding in the Default Rule for my website, when went add that was automatically added, but I wanted to make sure the shipp was not to high for customers
Can I run google ads on my Launchcart store?
Can you customize the Header Banner? How are you marketing this?
This video is GOLD for anyone wanting to start an eCommerce business as a beginner. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Hi, thanks for good content again, for the fulfilment of our job, 13 plus USD or so, how can we pay for Printful, I think you missed out that,
Yes when you place an order with Printful, there's a point where they ask you to pay via credit card and confirm the shipping address. So you can time it where you get paid from Launch Cart and then use that money to pay off the credit card and bank the difference.
why use LC and not just build a wordpress / woo store with printful integration?
Absolutely that works too - there are a few different options, I guess it really just comes down to personal preference
You just saved me …. Thank you so much !
Followed,tried...forces..me..to..connect..also..to..Printify..but..cant..sig..to...it..even..having..an..account..
I have to pay 3% to launce cart before I made a sale if not then when ?
No when you make a sale, the customer pays LaunchCart (through the website) and LaunchCart sends you the net.
@@zenwatercooler This process is automatically done or i have to pay it manually ?
Great tutorial can you sync launch cart somewhere to sell digital downloads. Thanks
You can sell digital download on launchcart and upload your TH-cam videos if you have TH-cam videos.
Is it possible to do manual orders with other PODS?
Yes (I do this a lot instead of having the interface) - you would just take an order "in real life" and then create a manual order right in Printful. So your buddy wants a hoodie, you charge him $35 (like cash) and then just make an order in Printful and get it shipped right to him.
@@zenwatercooler Thanks, good to know.
Question: I make and sell many of my products in my small shop. (mostly wood signs) Can I use Launch Cart for that as well?
Yes absolutetly! LaunchCart is basically a shopping cart app so whatever people can buy, you can use LaunchCart to sell!
Thanks.
Can you share where we go to buy or get for free custom domain names ? Thx
Hey there - I personally like www.namecheap.com/ (the prices are pretty great in my opinion).
Zen Watercooler what program do you use for your tube video production?
I have a few but mostly I like using Shotcut.
Thank you🙏🏾🤝🏾
Please when you have time can you make a video about Custom cat? Thank you!

does launch cart calculate shipping for multiple items lets say someone orders 5 different items, does launh cart and printful bundle those together and calculate the price?
In launchcart you can click the box to auto calculate shipping and another box to click for free shipping.
Perfect
Can you show us how to get seen
Awesome suggestion, let me see what I can come up with! Thanks!

@@zenwatercooler @Zen Watercooler So printful get there % and pay LC 3%? your saying it does not affect pricing or any extra add on % ?
Do I need a business account on PayPal?
Does the payment go directly to printfu wallet?l
Yes in order to receive payments on PayPal, a business account is recommended. (It's free)
but it's required to have a Bussiness account in Paypal to enable it, and there's a whole process to register your company, etc so, not so free
Business PayPal account: it’s free to open an account; you only pay transaction fees when your customers pay you. Paying a fee when you receive money is a net positive.
does launch cart support printify ? or any other pod company other than printful ??
That's a good question-I don't believe so (I'm not a Printify expert). Way down at the bottom of Printify's website it shows the integrations (I don't see Launchcart) printify.com/

does that 3% PayPal fee go on top of Launch cart's 3%?
No LaunchCart just takes their fee (I checked with LaunchCart and they confirmed that Stripe and PayPal are processed the same).
Sorry, can you please explain this. So we pay 3% to the LC plus whatever the fee charged by the paypal or stripe is deducted by the paypal or stripe the balanced is paid into our bank? is this correct?.
Just wanted to add that the free plan does not allow you to have custom domain. That is a shame, otherwise its a good choice.
What about taxes
I'm not a tax professional but I can say generally that you would keep track of your sales and also your expenses, and then report that as "other income" on your taxes.
Printful products are great but also rather expensive. Printify has the same products at a much better price.
