Hi Renée! We hear you! We're working hard on providing more customization options for Pop-up, as well as other features in the coming months.
Amazing!! Happy to hear that:)
what about custom domain name
I lov you guys but could you give us a bigger design space ?
Yeah I really hope they added some customization to the store front especially the phone variation because it looks very low quality and also show just one product at a time would be great if it was two at least make higher quality
Not being able to control the mock-ups is a huge deal. 😞
As a beginner, being able to launch with no money is a big incentive. Being unable to choose mock-ups for one of their best selling unisex tees hit me hard though! A lot of my designs aren't unisex, so I contacted Printify. They appreciated the feedback so much that they added more. Now there are 29 mock-ups, and I still can't choose LOL! Thankfully, not every product has that issue.
I LOVE that they were so responsive to you! I’m hoping they take all this feedback online and apply it to their platform:)
Wow So basically they care about their people. It seems like they really care about feedbacks. That's so nice ❤ I didn't know Printify offered a free option to start with. Cause I thought it was crucial to connect printify to shoppify or etsy. So that was really discouraging to me. But now I know they have this new option to help people create their merch without having to connect to any other platform. That's so nice ❤ I still don't know If I'm going to partner with them, but I like how printify cares for the creators.
Thanks SO much for having this video. One big barrier had been "well I can only sell this many shirts because I only have this amount of money." And I was going through the Printify site looking for some other options. Despite all that reading, I didn't even SEE the part about fulfilling orders without funds, I just wanted to see a "real person's" experience, so came to watch this video. And what a great surprise!
Honestly, this is a huge load off my back with my planning, thanks again. I'm about to watch your more current video fro this week to see how thing are going. But I'm wishing you luck.
Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate this:) I’m so glad I could provide some insight and show some real experience!
Ahh! Thanks for the likes... Wish you the best of luck with your work. HG
Just started the girls Printify Pop Up store a week ago! I agree with your pros and cons. Hopefully, they give more customization to the store owner.
I've been looking into Printify pop-up for my band, and I actually think the cons don't affect us as much as it would an Etsy vendor or artist. Still incredibly helpful, and I'm looking forward to setting up some merch for the first time, yay!
Good to know your perspective!! May have to look into the pop up shop.
Yes!! It can be a lot of work, but very fun and lucrative:)
Agreed !! ❤ definitely would love to design my own store front !
Same about the inability to categorize. That is literally WHY I came to TH-cam today, was to find out if somehow I'm missing how to create categories. Great video. Thanks! ;)
Thanks for your video. I have been on Etsy for over a year, and it's doing well, but those fees... OOF! I resisted the Printify Pop-Up store idea, but this week decided to give it a shot. Really nothing to lose other than time put into setting it up. I like how you can transfer all all of your listings you made for Etsy to your pop up, and/or weed out what you want to add as well as creating new listings. I also like that you can price your items at a lower price, as Printify does add shipping, you don't have to figure out how to price so that you include enough to cover shipping costs - just the margin you want to attain. I also like that you can buy a domain name and have that unique domain redirect to your Printify pop-up store. You do this on the dashboard of where you purchase your domain (usually a setting called redirect). I know this is still in beta (testing) to see what works and what doesn't. I would love to see them enable a way for sellers to rearrange listings and categories. I notice some of my listings are in multiple categories. It would be nice to be able to add an About section too, but that may come later. And or a search bar. And since we can't add keywords or tags, I am thinking that for the search engines (Google) may not pick up the shop or the listings unless sellers are very careful about what keywords they use in their titles with the firest 3-4 words being the most important for the search engine. Something US sellers should do is make sure they fill out the W-9 form in their shop's settings othewise they hold back 24% tax withholding on your sales.
My thoughts exactly!! Really hope we see some changes with the user experience on Printify!! I wasn’t totally sure what the 24% withholding tax was, so I haven’t filled out the W-9 form. Do you know anything about this that you’d be able to further explain?
@@RavenReneee if you are in the US it's best to fill out the W-9. At tax time they will send you a miscellaneous income form and you pay the taxes on your earnings. If you don't submit one, then they might just take out the 24% and if you live in a state where you pay income tax, but not sales tax, you may end up making less on your sales. It's worth messaging Printify, but I think that's how it works. I've been a freelance writer for years, and selling books on Barnes and Noble for example, they have you fill out a W-9 so I just see it as kind of a standard thing. I like how the Pop-Up will deal with international customers and the associated taxes for sellers instead of the situation on Etsy. I only sell in the US on Etsy because of the complications come tax time.
I think transferring all your products on Etsy can easily be copy and post on printify pop up .
@@LetsSmileToMakeOurDay it can if you want to do it that way. I do find that the products I wanted to transfer to the Pop-Up (already selling on Etsy) I did rewrite the descriptions for the Pop-Up as my Etsy descriptions include Etsy-specific information. I also didn't want to add products to my Pop-Up that I have not had success selling on Etsy. I may change my mind as you can always remove them, but as I add to my Pop-up I do a little Google search research to see what the competition is for certain keywords as the Pop-Up (ideally) will be eventually picked up by Google search with these products.
Very helpful video! Thank you so much for putting this together ❤🙏🫡
Absolutely!!:)
Interesting! Can you both have a pop up shop and also integrate to etsy or do you need 2 separate accounts for that?
I am new to Printify too. I ordered samples and paid for a premium account to help make my order run smoothly. I was charged a shipping cost per item even though my mugs came 3 to four to a box. The cost was almost my cost for the mug. I was charged a tax even though I have resale license on file. My order is coming in parts and after 10 days I still do not have the whole order. The popup stores were a good idea. I have two. Unfortunately they do not work well on my phone or laptop because of system caching. I cannot see my main popup to track my order without taking extra steps to empty the computer cache each time I want to view the popup store. I'm not sure printify is for me. I'm rethinking and watching lots of videos on issues with printify.
I want update my response. Printify reached out to me to solve some my issues. Their response to creators is excellent. I'm only in the first part of my journey and I'm still working on setting up my stores and connecting to other selling shops like Shopify, etsy, Amazon Merch all which requires paying up front. I'd like to start with only printify and my own personal website and making only to my followers until I know my designs will sell. I need to know POD is viable for me. Thanks for your videos and training.
SAME TO ME
I think im going this route.. with the pop up shop.. who knows they may cut out the middle man and start their own marketing tool to help owners of the printify shop.. maybe some changes at least you don’t have the inventory on hand they’ll do it for you😉
first time watcher here (and printifiy shop guy), yea...the shop customization is not good, but product development is...i for one think it's a great idea...connect your pinterest to the shop.. subscribed!
I am planning to give it a try. Thanks for your helpful video.❤
Thanks for insight didnt know you get paid monthly thats like working for the state. Lol I do like the idea of no fufillment fees. I am toggling between The Pop Up Shop and Spreadshop .
ill definitely try that, thanks!
absolutely incredible info! thank you so much
Hmmm. Hope that changes in the near future. Thanks for your reply. Still seems like a good site though. If you ever feel inclined, a video about taxes related stuff would be great. Thanks again.
Thank you Raven for the video with all these infos in it, but I`ve a question what if I haven`t followers on any social media and no TH-cam channel what should I do to promote my products ???
You’ll have to start creating content and posting on social media. Marketing is one of the most important things with print on demand, especially with the Pop Up Shop. I created an Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest for my shop to promote!
@@RavenReneeeThanks for you reply, you don't pay for any of those social media sites?
My problem is that I want to only make clothes for women but you can’t take off the men mockups or the men tab off the store page.
Also do you have to use all their Mockups or can you choose which ones you list? Like can u just have one flat lay?
Thanks for sharing ❤
appreciate for sharing this with us, excellent video
I appreciate you for sharing this, excellent!
you just convinced me on doing it
Thank you for this video. I was trying to figure out if it was worth it to start the pop-up store seeing that Printify gets 24%. I appreciate this video & your insight.
Absolutely, you’re welcome!!:)
That 24% is on your end profit . Submit a w9 form and they will not charge you that 24% then
YES! JUST WHAT I NEEDED, TY!!!
Love the video❤️ I just started my print-on-demand journey and found Crafted Threads. They have a ton of designs and it saved me so much time. They have something in every niche. And lifetime updates too!!
I wish that the description box was bigger or could be enlarged when editing it.
Are they trying to be the next "red bubble"? That would be cool though not to have to deal with customer service
This is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your experience and it's something I needed to hear. Do you ever buy one of your products to see it in real time of the quality? Or would they send you samples? Thank you once again for your tutorial!
@@ShoryoTombo Thank you for the support! I did buy some samples of my products to see the quality! You have to pay for shipping and production, so they don’t send you free samples:(
Going to open one for a customer that I am making custom shirts and banners for her business so no one else on Etsy would want them. How do you get your payment on PayPal if it is connected to a credit card?
How do I share my design with Etsy so the same product is listed in both platforms ?
I wish printify can help with marketing it’s a few days and I have no sales.
Same
A month now and no sales.
Thank you, really helped me!
what was your best month so far then? the most you've been paid in 1 month?
I’ve only been doing this for two months now! My best month was my first one, I made around $70!
Thank you for this video very helpful ❤
Still waiting for the pop up shop facility here in the UK
Super unfortunate that it’s not more accessible to other countries. Hopefully it’s coming soon!!
Nice vid thank you for sharing with us
Hey,thankyou for your info..my question is printify pop up store can hold my money for a while cuz it takes time for me to get online payment method??
very helpful, worth the watch
Hi, Raven! Thanks for this video. 😺
If you don't mind answering this question: Did you opt to have the taxes taken out right away or did you file for the exemption?
I opted to have them take the taxes out right away! Partly because I didn’t want to worry about them later on and partly because I wasn’t completely sure of what this all meant at the time. I’m still learning about small businesses/taxes/1099s!:)
@@RavenReneee Makes total sense - think I'll go that way as well! Thanks for the insight. ❤
@@KimberlyMintz Of course!:)
Yes my shop looks wonky too. I wish I could categorize it better as well. Even though the shirts are unisex I wish I could categorize some as just women or just men. Yes I'm aware that even though a shirt I've designed with a lady in a flowy dress on it that a male may want to wear it as well, I'd still rather be able to separate out what items are more feminine based and which are more masculine. The con that's bugging me the most right now is shipping on some of my items. Sheesh I just created a really cool greeting card for my shop and was shocked to see shipping for one card is $7.98 yes shipping for 1 GREETING CARD. It crossed my mind to sell the item where i get zero profit to benefit the customer but then at that point the shipping will be almost more than the card itself.
Maybe digital is an option to consider
wow, great video. thanks so much
Renee after I've done my pop up shop and my product is uploaded to my shop, what's the next step to rich the buyers?
A lot of social media advertising such as Facebook IG TikTok etc to promote store
Hi
I am in too. But no sales yet i do marketing on Pinterest, instagram and Facebook twitter, still no sales yet.
I will continue and change strategies,I don’t have followers. The marketing phase , I find it difficult and for me it’s the most cons point
thats amazing, ty for sharing
Question 🙋♀️ is it compatible with Amazon? Will it sync (like Shopify does)? Thanks !
I think so! Here’s an article I found on Printify’s website that gives more information on how to do this. help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/12670604223121-Can-I-use-Printify-together-with-Fulfillment-by-Amazon-FBA
Nice. thanks for sharing
You are AWESOME!!! TY
Can I upload multiple products (for example, T-shirts, sweatshirts, etc.) for one image at the same time?
By using the replace feature you can copy your design, title, and description from one product to another, but your design may require edits to fit the product. Learnt this after setting up my own store! 🙃
My printify pop up store add to cart is not working??maybe it because i am not leaving in the USA ??pls answer me
Hi! This would be a question for Printify’s customer/technical support team!
Can you set your on pricing?
Yes!
AWESOME it really helped me
Hi Raven, does the Printify pop up shop allow you to capture the emails of your customers?
Hello! No, unfortunately that is not a feature they currently have!
@@RavenReneee Ah crap, I was wondering about that.
Well it might slow down sales, but I'm wondering if having a link that goes to a very simple landing page that asks people's name and email--and then once done sends them right to the shop. I would enable you to make your own excel sheet where you can link the names/emails to the people who actually bought. And then later send follow up-emails to those who didn't...
amazing vid!!! ty
Can you use your own Mockups? Cause that's very important theirs are pretty bad
Custom mockups can be uploaded to any sales channel expect for Printify Pop Up store unfortunately!
Regarding "Categories". If you have a journal offered in different colors...that's just one listing with "variations" right? A journal with completely different designs will be separate listings.
@@dawnwakiya3052 unfortunately no. As of right now, any notebook design regardless of its the same design just a different color, it will be a separate listing!
nice to hear that but i need to ask you question i am a new starter from Ethiopia How can i meet new Customers Please?
@@KerkebedelSadof you’ve got to promote on different platforms! Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and TH-cam are the best way to promote. Make a page for your business on each platform and start posting!:)
great content. ty
can I share a link to just one product from my popup store?
@@hatemrateb yes, I believe so!
TY!!! AWESOME
Thank u for this
Good video
Good Video Thanks
Thank you for this video
I only have a printify pop up store with zero sales and I have started a Pinterest account for my business with my products for my advertisement. But, I do not have sales yet.
I heard Pinterest is the long game. It takes a while for any traction, but way down the road, you’ll get a bunch of impression. Just keep posting everyday!
You are new creator you doing great. Am going to subscribe to support
Thank you! I really appreciate that🤍
Love the video❤️ I just started my print-on-demand journey and found Crafted Threads. They have a ton of designs and it saved me so much time. They have something in every niche. And lifetime updates too!!
