I started selling 11oz mugs (after seeing your channel 3 weeks ago) using your pricing and shipping strategies. So far I've sold 14 mugs. (8 with 10% off & 6 reg price). I started my shop on 6/18/22. Thanks for the awesome advice.
That is AWESOME! Thank you so much for your support and it's awesome to hear that you are getting sales! Keep it up and you're going to crush it in Q4!!
May I ask what kind of designs you use and what provider ? Like are you doing just text ? I had got a sample from district photo and I actually used one of the vectors provider by them but it had small details In the photo and it came out kind of blurry.
Regarding copying SKUs--you don't need to resize or anything like that. Just double-click on the truncated number and copy it (right-click > Copy or use the shortcut CTRL-C (for PC or Command-C I think (for Mac)). It'll actually copy the ENTIRE number even though you don't see the entire number in your browser window. Hope this helps.
FINALLY, someone is sharing this MUCH NEEDED info for those of us, who have been on Etsy for YEARS and have hundreds of listings already, BEFORE using Printify and just needed to know how to do THIS EXACT THING, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thanks for sharing! Just opened my Esty shop and am a bit overwhelmed by it all. I was curious as to how those seasoned sellers were able to list so many items with one listing. Thanks again! :)
great video, easy explain it...I created my etsy printify shop at 7 days ago, and I had many doubts about the variants and in Spanish the information is scarce and not clear. congrats
Omg thank goodness for that hack with the screen sizing to display the full SKUs. I made my 1st shirt combo listing the other night & felt nervous I'd made a data entry error when I was copy/pasting the SKUs without fully seeing them. I now feel comfortable doing combo listings going forward since I feel better about seeing everything 😃
great tip about resizing the window to see the full SKU number!! I was doing it ghetto style by trying to remember the last 5 digits and entering them manually. But yours is much faster, of course!
Thanks for this! I always come to your videos when I need help with something regarding my POD shop on etsy, and you always have the answers I need! Invaluable. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing this info as this would be helpful for my online sticker shop. I will take a look at your other videos on pricing and shipping strategies.
Thank you so much for your videos; they've been a lifesaver! You mentioned manually adding your mockups from Printify to Etsy, but no matter what I do, they end up blurry unless they are pushed straight from Printify. Do you have a way to do this?
I'm glad they are helpful! Strangely, I find there's a difference in the image quality depending on where you take them from on Printify. If you click on the thumbnail of a listing while on the "My Products" page and download the images from there, they always seem to be blurry. But if you go into the design editor view and then go to Preview and download from there (either by right-clicking or using the download button on the bottom of the screen), the image quality seems to be better. They're never really amazing, but to me they look much less blurry when taken from the "Preview" view. Let me know if that helps!
@@PODinsights Oh my goodness. I just spent hours today trying to fix my images. That worked! Thank you so much much for your quick reply! I usually make my own mockups, but I made a blanket and wasn't quite sure how to do it, so I was trying to manually add the mockups for a combined listing. What a great tip!
awesome Info.. call me dumb, but do you have a video about multiple image designs for one item ie a mug with 10 design options within Etsy using either Pritify or Printful..??
Perfect timing I just opened an Etsy mug shop- question though do I have to publish from printify or can I just create as a draft and grab the sku numbers and just create the listing straight in Etsy- my shop is connected to printify.
You can create listings right on Etsy and if you paste the SKU from Printify into your listing the orders will still sync to Printify. You just need to keep the product saved as a draft in your Printify account in order for them to sync up to the orders.
Thank you for this. Still curious about combining a mug and t shirt. I realize they have to be shipped separately but what if I wanted to offer say one 11oz. mug with one t shirt., and I were to use this tutorial as an example, so I'd create one mug product (publish hidden), then create a t shirt product (publish hidden)(both with default shipping profiles), then create another mug product calling it "combo package", then combine sku's per your example into the "combo package". I'd adjust shipping and/or retail costs to compensate. Then I'd inform somewhere in the listing that products ship separately. I realize it would require a lot of manual work for each order because of the many colors and sizes, but perhaps narrowing the shirts down to 1 brand (Bella Canvas), 2 colors, and 5 sizes. And, only white mugs. Your thoughts on this please. Thank you.
Oh this soooooo helpful, it will save so much time and is easy to follow. I always look forward to your videos, I learn something each time. Thank you for sharing that. I always struggled with adult and kids/youth t-shirts and how to combine them. can we actually use this method for everything?
I appreciate you! You can definitely use this method for any items that you want to combine in one listing if you prefer to do it this way vs. using the template that I showed in the original video.
Thank you for this informative video. I have 1 question, i have managed to create these variations and theres also differnet styles of my product. But now the problem is all of them show the same mockup how do i fix this? If anyone can help that would bw highly appreciated. ✨️✨️
Great Channel, i been looking around and can't seem to find a video on how to setup 2 piece 3 piece etc.. canvas artwork using Printify. Can someone lead me in the right direction? Thanks Eddy
Hey, thanks so much for your advice. You are a life saver. I am wondering, can i delete my 15 oz mug listing altogether now that i have the variations up on my 11 oz? Also, with pricing on variations, mine was empty and needed filled. Do i put the retail price or retail plus shipping price? Yours looks like shipping cost was added to it. Thank you in advance. ❤
I found that if you double click the SKU on the Printify pricing page, three vertical dots will appear, and the copy option will show up. From there I can paste directly into Etsy.
So do you have to create the draft listing saved in Pintify as 'unpublished' only once or must do it each time for different designs ? because here you uploaded that same design to that draft listing and saved. Hope my question is clear :)
In Printify, why wouldn't you just add the 15 oz and 11 oz variants in the original listing? I've done this for different colored t-shirts that require a different colored design. Still confused.
This might be a dumb question but say you don't save to draft, how does it know how you want the pictures aligned how you want it? Does it just make a bigger version of the 11oz?
Great Video, Thank you!! Just wondering after the item is posted to ESTY, What happens if the draft is accidentally deleted in Printify ? Do I need to start all over?
Printify is a pain in the butt. I wish ETSY allowed Spring to link to my store. Spring Allows a master listing that includes all products in any category.
Hi! On Etsy you have to choose for each listing either Physical or Digital product and you can only choose one per listing. Technically you can create custom variations within a listing to include any product that you want to, but because they have these categories separated there is not way to include them both and get the automatic download for the digital files.
Hi Have to say lv your vids, but can you help as it's doing my head in, when i send a single multi product ie with different sizes and colour to etsy and when the customer clicks size then colour why does image not show as the colour and just show the main image thanks in advance.I'm from the UK.
Hello, I’ve successfully implemented this process for my Etsy shop. Thank you for the video! I’d also like to do the same things for my mugs on Shopify using Printify. Is there a way to do that?
sorry for the rather dumb question.. .but, with the 15oz in draft, do I presume that when the order goes through, printify automatically knows that it is the 15 and while it is in draft mode, it still treats it as an orderable item and processes the order? Also, on the etsy side, by manually creating the variants, we are simply allowing ourselves multiple items and that sku is what is the only link that is necessary to go back to printify (minus cost/etc.) again, sorry for the dumb questions
Do you know how I can list a set of three printify canvases (with three different designs) in one Etsy listing. And also offer them in different sizes and frame options.
Hi! If you don't add the SKU numbers, then any orders for those products will go to your "Other Orders" tab in your Printify orders page. You can manually import the order and select a product variant to sync with future orders of the same item by doing this. The only catch is that it can create a scenario where you have some product variants synced and some not within the same Etsy listing. If someone orders a product that is synced and one that is not at the same time, the product that is not synced will not populate on the Printify order at all, not even on the Other Orders tab.
Hi there, I'm fairly new to this, so I'm kindly asking about group listing with Printy and Etsy as some items are only provided by one supplier, and especially as I would like to incorporate a listing as a package for the holiday. 2) Does everything in a group listing must be purchased together, or the items in the group can also be purchased individually even though it says group listing? Thanks so much for taking my question. I acknowledge that this posting was a year ago.
I use District Photo on Printify for mugs, and they ship both sizes via UPS SurePost where UPS does the handoff to USPS near the delivery location. SurePost is not an option to select on Etsy, so I just pick the slowest delivery method they have (I think I have Parcel Select in there now) since SurePost is generally a slower method. You could also chose the "other" shipping method and enter your own custom date range to add a couple buffer days in there for the estimated delivery that shows on the listing. I actually do "other" for all international shipping methods because I honestly never know what method my providers are going to use for an international shipment. I hope that helps!
So would I go about things the same way in your video if I want to offer an Autumn Collection of stem less wine glasses? I designed 5 holiday wine glasses, each a different design but all a same size, and I want to offer them as a bulk purchase. I want someone to be able to see my listing on Etsy as "collection of 5 wine glasses" and when they order, it automatically orders them all 5 glasses and the etsy price would be the cost of 5 glasses.
The problem for me is, I don't know to how the put both the 11oz and 15oz thumbnail pics in my listing. When I go to start a listing Etsy seems to only allow me to do my thumbnail photos with ONE variation; I want the customer to see both sizes in that ONE listing. So frustrating!!
I see he never answered. Did you ever figure it out? I can't seem to figure this out. You'd be better off doing white and black mugs of the same capacity as they have the same shipping costs (assuming they're from the same vendor). But that doesn't help with being able to offer a white mug in 11 & 15oz in the same listing. I'm stumped....
I’ve been searching for a video that explains sending options when creating an Etsy listing with multiple items. It’s quite confusing since you have to choose one option out of all your listed items… like what if that particular item runs out, are the sending options still valid??
POD - in your video you mention that you can only use one shipping profile which is true. But does it matter if you have one listing with variations from different providers?
The shipping price you set in your profile would have to work out appropriately for each print provider that you're using. The easiest thing to do is to build the shipping cost into the product prices so it won't matter which product the customer buys from the listing, but with products like mugs, that could make the product price appear too high. So you would want to make sure whatever price you set in the profile will work out for the shipping cost from each provider if they are different.
Hi! The process would be very similar - when you are creating the variations, do the option to create your own custom variation instead of doing the capacity. Then you can name the variations anything you want to, and copy/paste the SKUs of the different Printify drafts for each mug design.
But this is not a combo, it's options not combo. They are going to get one option only. I need same but with a tote bag with it's accessory bag. They choose small plus the accessory bag, medium plus the accessory bag, how I can do that? Thanks for your help
You put 999, for the amount, but, what happens when the company runs out of that product, during Q4? I know you can have a second company, like Monster digital, with Swift POD, as a backup, but what happens if they run out, too? Couldn’t a customer complain because your store says it has 500 products, or 999?
Thanks for this video, it's very helpful. I'm wondering though since a lot of designs will most likely never sell, would it be more productive to not worry about sku numbers until at least the first sale? Then once your listing has been validated to make sales, go in and enter all of the sku's for automatic fulfillment? I saw another youtube video that suggested this would be better but was wondering what you thought. Thanks!
Hi! I don't recommend the "sync as you go" method unless you have your order fulfillment set to manual on Printify so nothing will be submitted to production until you have a chance to review and edit the order. I made a video about why: ruclips.net/video/wA024FqAtxA/видео.html
An important question I can't seem to find the answer for: Is it possible to have 1 white 11 oz. mug product in Printify, and load variations of the same design for that one mug? Not COLOR variations of the product itself (seems every YT video covers this).. I'm talking 1 mug color, same designs but each design might have a color element on it that's different. For example: On this white mug you can get this design in grey, yellow, blue, or red text/image. Is it possible to make 1 product listing with variations in the same design and group that toghether on 1 listing on Etsy/Shopify? OR must you create 4 products with each colored design on same mug, and then group them together in 1 listing using their product sku numbers? I hope this makes sense. Thank you.
Hi! You would need to create separate Printify drafts for each design on the mug. But you can use the method from this video to combine them into one Etsy listing. At the step where you are adding the variations to the listing, instead of using the Capacity option, use the option to create your own custom variation. You can name the variations anything you want to, so just make the variations reflect the different design/color choices. Then copy/paste the SKUs from your separate Printify drafts and you'll have them all combined in one listing. I hope that helps!
Thanks for this! Just to check - if I wanted to create variations for phone cases of the same design (e.g. tough and flexi cases) but they are from different suppliers, will this still work?
Hi! Yes, you can combine product variations that are from different providers. Just make sure the shipping price in your shipping profile will work for both since you can only assign one shipping profile per listing. If someone buys one of each they will ship from different locations, but with phone cases that's generally not going to happen very often.
Hi! The easiest way to handle this is to calculate the total "out the door" price that you need to get for your desired profit for each size first (including shipping). Then, pick any shipping price that you want and subtract that amount from the price of each product. Because you've already factored in the specific shipping cost into each price that you set, the price you charge for shipping can be anything you want. 11oz total cost: $9.68 11oz total retail price needed: $17.99 15oz total cost: $13.15 15oz total retail price needed: $22.99 Shipping price: $4.00 Final 11oz retail price: $13.99 (17.99 - 4.00) Final 15oz retail price: $18.99 (22.99 - 4.00)
Curious. Can this be done when one product has a personalized option, but the variant does not? I want to sell 2 kitchen towels in my shop that coordinate with each other. One is personalized and the other is not. Thanks! I really appreciate your videos. They are so helpful!
Hi! The personalization option is set at the listing level on Etsy, so if you enable it, the personalization field will appear separate from all the drop-down choices for product variants. However, you can create custom names for each product variant to let the customer know certain ones cannot be personalized. For example you can edit the variant name to include NOT PERSONALIZED. It won't stop them from selecting one of those variants and then entering something in the personalization field, but it should at least discourage it.
Hi! You can offer different designs on the same product within the same listing by including it in a custom variation. It works best with a product like mugs which don't already have multiple variations. You do need to create separate drafts on Printify for each design on the product, but then you can include them in the same listing by adding variations and naming them according to the design. However I wouldn't suggest doing this if the designs are significantly different from each other because you would want to use different keywords in your title and tags. It can work well if you offer the same design with slight variations though.
Thanks for the info. Can I achieve this with having 1 design with the option to print it on multiple materials? Say poster option or canva with the same design in the same listing on Etsy? I’ve seen some people have it this way
Yes you can! You can edit the variations to include different products of any type or even different design options on the same product. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is combining different options that have big differences in the shipping cost because you can only have one shipping profile per listing.
Thanks for your awesome videos! I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to because there is so much fluff when searching the net. How do you setup a Etsy listing that contains 3 items? . Example, I want to sell a Set of 3 art print that is printed on Printify. There will be 3 separate products on printify but I want them to all come as one, no variations (well, possibly variations later with canvas instead of poster) But for now I can't seem to figure out how to combine 3 SKU's into 1 listing. Thanks!
Hi . I must have missed some tips. I created products on printify (poster, paintings, etc) . connected to Etsy. Do I have to create the listings ? because Etsy request to add listings . Tx
And just to clarify my understanding please Jeff...in theory, you would never need to publish a listing in Printify as long as the sku is correct in an etsy listing in your connected shop?
That's correct! As long as you have the SKU number for any variant you want to offer in an Etsy listing and a matching draft with the same SKU in your Printify account, you don't need to publish the listing from Printify.
I am trying to learn out how to make variations from Printify to Ebay for one design, but multiple dimensions. I see where I can bulk edit and also add variations on Ebay, but I ran into some issues. I don't want 5+ listing for the same thing, just need the drop down menu for sizes. Anyone know how to do this?
Hi great video. I am planning on selling an 11 ounce and 15 ounce version of my mug. I also was debating selling a colored 15 ounce mug with 5 variations. Should I add all to the same listing? Would there be an option for size and then an option for colors if they choose the 15 ounce color version or would it list all 7 choices (11 oz, 15 oz, and 5 colors of colored 15 oz)?
Thanks for the very informative video, as always. I have a question. I saved as drafts 8 design options for a t shirt in Printify and I want to link each of the 8 photos in 1 listing on Etsy. Can you explain how to do this? Thanks so much!
Hi! With apparel you will have 2 existing variations in the listing, one for size and one for color. Etsy only allows you to add 2 variations in the listing, but you can offer different design options but customizing one of the existing variations. For example, you can combine the design option with the color variations. With 8 options though, it's going to be a lot depending on how many colors you offer. But let's say you only offer two colors - you would have 16 variations because you have to add a variation for each color and design combination. So you would have Black - Design 1, Black - Design 2, etc. and the same for other colors. This will give you a separate SKU number variation for each combination of size, color, and design when you are finished.
Hi! You can create a custom variation in the Etsy listing for a combination or quantity. For example if your existing variations are the design options on the pins, you can add an additional variant and call it "5-Pack" or "10-Pack" and then set your pricing based on that quantity for just that variation. However, if you use a print on demand platform like Printify, there is no way to have orders for the combination/quantity variant sync automatically to your Printify orders, because Printify won't recognize that a single variant is actually multiple products. You will have to manually import the orders from your "other orders" tab on Printify and add the correction design/quantity before submitting the order. If you check your orders regularly on Printify it's not too much work but if you get a high volume of orders it can get to be a lot. I hope that helps!
I have a question along these similar lines. Is it possible to sell a variety of printify items as a kit? Such as a shot glass along with a beer mug and a wine glass all combined as one order? But thanks for the info regarding combining in a listing because this is helpful for this newbie :-)
Hi! You can sell products this way on Etsy, however there is not a way to get the orders to automate on Printify so you would have to place the orders manually. On Printify, one SKU number has to be just one product. Each product variation on Etsy can also only have one SKU number. So if you create a custom variation in a listing that is a bundle or pack, that's going to be multiple products packaged together into what is supposed to be a single product variation, and Printify won't recognize that it's multiple products when the order comes in. But if you're ok with that, you can place the orders manually with the correct products. Basically when you are adding a variation to the listing, instead of using one of the pre-made variations on Etsy, you choose the option to create your own and then name it whatever you want to describe the bundle of products. I hope that helps!
@@PODinsights not sure I understand what you mean about ordering it manually, but I will start looking into that lol. I definitely appreciate you taking the time to give me a full-on answer to my issue :-)
@@bmacindustries8422 change your setting on printify to manual notification. To if an order comes in for the wine/beer/shot glass you have to manual add all items together for that order. As customer only sees one sku number for one of the 3 items. .. printify themselves showed me how to do it
So even if it's hidden in store the sku numbers will work? Sorry I'm completely new, would I have to keep all the drafts I have hidden on etsy or would that delete my sku number somehow lol
I have started selling mugs and want to add coasters to my shop. What would be the best way to add mugs and coasters in one listing? When I try this, it gives the customer an option to choose the mug or coasters.
Hi! The way Etsy listings work, customers will always have to add products to their cart one at a time unless you create custom variations that are bundled products, such as 1 mug + 1 coaster as a single variation so they only have to add it to their cart once. However if you do that, you'll have to manually fulfill orders (assuming your're using Printify) because Printify cannot identify two products from a single variation. If you use this method to include variations for your mug options and the coasters, customers will be able to shop both from the same listing but they'll have to add them to their cart one at a time - this is how it works for any listing on Etsy that has multiple product types in the same listing.
Hi, Curious, but does these various work if I wish to have 5 different colors on both 11 Oz and 15 Oz, for example? That is very useful advice for size variations. Much obliged.
Hi! Yes, you can have two variations in the listing, so if you want to do 11oz and 15oz size variations for different colors or designs, you can add a second variation and either use color or make a custom one to enter the names of the colors/designs, and then you will have a variation for each size and color/design in the listing. Great question!
Facing the same problem but man u resolved it Thanks Thanks Thanks . Q1 for every combo listing the draft is necessary to keep? Q2 if I am using a graphic or text in black color how can I change the color of graphic or text for dark tones coz it will look good on light colors but when it comes to blue or black it's not prominent or do I need to create different color graphics but with the same design like for black it would b white n for white it would be black n vice versa ? I hope you are getting what I m saying plzzz respond I'm really stuck at this
Hi! For Q1: yes, you need to keep the drafts in your Printify account because that is how Printify will match up the product variants on incoming orders. For Q2, I think I understand your question but let me know if I misunderstood. If you have a design that has black or dark colors in it and you want to offer that design on a black mug (or any product that is a dark color), then you would need to use your design editing software to edit the colors of the design and create an additional file. There are lots of ways to do this, depending on the origin of the design. If you made the design yourself, you just need to edit the original file and save it separately. But if you got the design as a finished graphic PNG or vector file then you would need to use software like Photoshop, Photopea, Gimp, or Affinity (I'm sure you could use vector software too) to edit the colors within the graphic and then save it as a new file.
That's mean for white shirt and for black shirt under the same listing I need to create two different colors of same design but how I m gonna place two different colors in printify I mean we have single design option for one listing may be I'm wrong how I m supposed to add 1 graphic for white shirt and 2nd graphic for black shirt under same listing?
You can create custom variations in your Etsy listing that are a bundle of products, however the orders will not sync to Printify. A product variation on Etsy is intended to be a single product, and each individual product variation on Printify has a separate SKU number. If you create a custom variation that is actually multiple products, there's no way for Printify to know that one variation is actually 3 items since one variation can only have one SKU number. When you add variations to an Etsy listing, instead of using one of the pre-made variations you would create your own. Then name the variation whatever you need to describe the bundle of products and set the price accordingly. It will work for the listing on Etsy, but when an order comes in you'll have to place the order manually on Printify.
How would I accomplish this is Woocommerce> I was looking for a Listing View forever...until I realized you were talking abut Etsy. SMH lol. Any help pointing me in the right direction would help. I'm stuck at this part of your video. I Published the 11oz and hide it in the store...and left the 15oz as a draft....Where do I go from here. I'm building a Wordpress Store...and using Woocommerce instead of Etsy. Thanks and Blessings-Don
Very helpful. I was listing them individually but knew variations in the same listing could be done. No sales yet, but I'm working on it!

May I ask what kind of designs you use and what provider ? Like are you doing just text ? I had got a sample from district photo and I actually used one of the vectors provider by them but it had small details In the photo and it came out kind of blurry.
Regarding copying SKUs--you don't need to resize or anything like that. Just double-click on the truncated number and copy it (right-click > Copy or use the shortcut CTRL-C (for PC or Command-C I think (for Mac)). It'll actually copy the ENTIRE number even though you don't see the entire number in your browser window. Hope this helps.

But if you go into the design editor view and then go to Preview and download from there (either by right-clicking or using the download button on the bottom of the screen), the image quality seems to be better. They're never really amazing, but to me they look much less blurry when taken from the "Preview" view. Let me know if that helps!
@@PODinsights Oh my goodness. I just spent hours today trying to fix my images. That worked! Thank you so much much for your quick reply! I usually make my own mockups, but I made a blanket and wasn't quite sure how to do it, so I was trying to manually add the mockups for a combined listing. What a great tip!
all good.. but what we ll do when we get order ?
Very helpful! Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Always so helpful 😀
awesome Info.. call me dumb, but do you have a video about multiple image designs for one item ie a mug with 10 design options within Etsy using either Pritify or Printful..??
Very good update by video, and useful information. Thanks.

Perfect timing I just opened an Etsy mug shop- question though do I have to publish from printify or can I just create as a draft and grab the sku numbers and just create the listing straight in Etsy- my shop is connected to printify.
You can create listings right on Etsy and if you paste the SKU from Printify into your listing the orders will still sync to Printify. You just need to keep the product saved as a draft in your Printify account in order for them to sync up to the orders.
Thank you for this. Still curious about combining a mug and t shirt. I realize they have to be shipped separately but what if I wanted to offer say one 11oz. mug with one t shirt., and I were to use this tutorial as an example, so I'd create one mug product (publish hidden), then create a t shirt product (publish hidden)(both with default shipping profiles), then create another mug product calling it "combo package", then combine sku's per your example into the "combo package". I'd adjust shipping and/or retail costs to compensate. Then I'd inform somewhere in the listing that products ship separately. I realize it would require a lot of manual work for each order because of the many colors and sizes, but perhaps narrowing the shirts down to 1 brand (Bella Canvas), 2 colors, and 5 sizes. And, only white mugs. Your thoughts on this please. Thank you.
Oh this soooooo helpful, it will save so much time and is easy to follow. I always look forward to your videos, I learn something each time. Thank you for sharing that. I always struggled with adult and kids/youth t-shirts and how to combine them. can we actually use this method for everything?
I appreciate you! You can definitely use this method for any items that you want to combine in one listing if you prefer to do it this way vs. using the template that I showed in the original video.
@@PODinsights awsome, thank you
Thank you for this informative video. I have 1 question, i have managed to create these variations and theres also differnet styles of my product. But now the problem is all of them show the same mockup how do i fix this? If anyone can help that would bw highly appreciated. ✨️✨️
Great Channel, i been looking around and can't seem to find a video on how to setup 2 piece 3 piece etc.. canvas artwork using Printify. Can someone lead me in the right direction?
Thanks Eddy
Hey, thanks so much for your advice. You are a life saver. I am wondering, can i delete my 15 oz mug listing altogether now that i have the variations up on my 11 oz? Also, with pricing on variations, mine was empty and needed filled. Do i put the retail price or retail plus shipping price? Yours looks like shipping cost was added to it. Thank you in advance. ❤
I found that if you double click the SKU on the Printify pricing page, three vertical dots will appear, and the copy option will show up. From there I can paste directly into Etsy.
Nice! Thanks for pointing that out!
@@PODinsights Thanks, I am just getting started in POD (maps) and I appreciate what you are doing on here. I am learning a great deal.
Yup. And you actually don't even need to do that. Just double-click and then right-click or use shortcut keys. 🙂
how do you do this for phone cases where you have different phone sizes and different design patterns for each size?
So do you have to create the draft listing saved in Pintify as 'unpublished' only once or must do it each time for different designs ? because here you uploaded that same design to that draft listing and saved. Hope my question is clear :)
In Printify, why wouldn't you just add the 15 oz and 11 oz variants in the original listing? I've done this for different colored t-shirts that require a different colored design. Still confused.
This might be a dumb question but say you don't save to draft, how does it know how you want the pictures aligned how you want it? Does it just make a bigger version of the 11oz?
Great Video, Thank you!! Just wondering after the item is posted to ESTY, What happens if the draft is accidentally deleted in Printify ? Do I need to start all over?
Printify is a pain in the butt. I wish ETSY allowed Spring to link to my store. Spring Allows a master listing that includes all products in any category.
Is there a way to add the PNG to the listing as well
i know this is an old video but could you tell me if this is possible with two different suppliers? Such as Monster and Swift?
Hi great video! How do you list digital and physical products on the same listing?
Hi! On Etsy you have to choose for each listing either Physical or Digital product and you can only choose one per listing. Technically you can create custom variations within a listing to include any product that you want to, but because they have these categories separated there is not way to include them both and get the automatic download for the digital files.
Hi Have to say lv your vids, but can you help as it's doing my head in, when i send a single multi product ie with different sizes and colour to etsy and when the customer clicks size then colour why does image not show as the colour and just show the main image thanks in advance.I'm from the UK.
Hello, I’ve successfully implemented this process for my Etsy shop. Thank you for the video! I’d also like to do the same things for my mugs on Shopify using Printify. Is there a way to do that?
sorry for the rather dumb question.. .but, with the 15oz in draft, do I presume that when the order goes through, printify automatically knows that it is the 15 and while it is in draft mode, it still treats it as an orderable item and processes the order? Also, on the etsy side, by manually creating the variants, we are simply allowing ourselves multiple items and that sku is what is the only link that is necessary to go back to printify (minus cost/etc.)
again, sorry for the dumb questions
Do you know how I can list a set of three printify canvases (with three different designs) in one Etsy listing. And also offer them in different sizes and frame options.
Hi. Thanks for your great video.
I have a question: What would happen if I don't add SKU number for one of the products and someone buy it?
Hi! If you don't add the SKU numbers, then any orders for those products will go to your "Other Orders" tab in your Printify orders page. You can manually import the order and select a product variant to sync with future orders of the same item by doing this. The only catch is that it can create a scenario where you have some product variants synced and some not within the same Etsy listing. If someone orders a product that is synced and one that is not at the same time, the product that is not synced will not populate on the Printify order at all, not even on the Other Orders tab.
@@PODinsights thanks ✨️
Do you know how to do this for Printify with Shopify?
Does this work for printful as well?
Would this tip also work in Shopify?
This channel is SO useful!
I have a question I think might make a good video topic. I'm going to hit you up on your website.
Thank you! Can't wait to check out your idea for a topic!
Hi there, I'm fairly new to this, so I'm kindly asking about group listing with Printy and Etsy as some items are only provided by one supplier, and especially as I would like to incorporate a listing as a package for the holiday. 2) Does everything in a group listing must be purchased together, or the items in the group can also be purchased individually even though it says group listing? Thanks so much for taking my question. I acknowledge that this posting was a year ago.
With the 11 oz and 15 oz in the same listing, how do you handle shipping? Doesn't the 15 oz mug have to be shipped by Priority, as it's over a pound?
I use District Photo on Printify for mugs, and they ship both sizes via UPS SurePost where UPS does the handoff to USPS near the delivery location. SurePost is not an option to select on Etsy, so I just pick the slowest delivery method they have (I think I have Parcel Select in there now) since SurePost is generally a slower method. You could also chose the "other" shipping method and enter your own custom date range to add a couple buffer days in there for the estimated delivery that shows on the listing. I actually do "other" for all international shipping methods because I honestly never know what method my providers are going to use for an international shipment. I hope that helps!
So would I go about things the same way in your video if I want to offer an Autumn Collection of stem less wine glasses? I designed 5 holiday wine glasses, each a different design but all a same size, and I want to offer them as a bulk purchase. I want someone to be able to see my listing on Etsy as "collection of 5 wine glasses" and when they order, it automatically orders them all 5 glasses and the etsy price would be the cost of 5 glasses.
The problem for me is, I don't know to how the put both the 11oz and 15oz thumbnail pics in my listing. When I go to start a listing Etsy seems to only allow me to do my thumbnail photos with ONE variation; I want the customer to see both sizes in that ONE listing. So frustrating!!
Would it be a problem to list multiple sellers on the same listing on Printify on Etsy?
what about the shipping profile for the mugs. shipping is different for each size
I see he never answered. Did you ever figure it out? I can't seem to figure this out. You'd be better off doing white and black mugs of the same capacity as they have the same shipping costs (assuming they're from the same vendor). But that doesn't help with being able to offer a white mug in 11 & 15oz in the same listing. I'm stumped....
I’ve been searching for a video that explains sending options when creating an Etsy listing with multiple items. It’s quite confusing since you have to choose one option out of all your listed items… like what if that particular item runs out, are the sending options still valid??
I see shops with 1200 variations. When I add mine it will not let me add no more then 400. What gives.
so i do not have to have a listing as "active/published," on printify to have it work?
POD - in your video you mention that you can only use one shipping profile which is true. But does it matter if you have one listing with variations from different providers?
The shipping price you set in your profile would have to work out appropriately for each print provider that you're using. The easiest thing to do is to build the shipping cost into the product prices so it won't matter which product the customer buys from the listing, but with products like mugs, that could make the product price appear too high. So you would want to make sure whatever price you set in the profile will work out for the shipping cost from each provider if they are different.
What if i want to add a thank you note and don't want it to be visible on my etsy listing?
What if we want to make one listing for 2 designs of the 11 ounce. Like a set for mr and mrs to sell together ?
Hi! The process would be very similar - when you are creating the variations, do the option to create your own custom variation instead of doing the capacity. Then you can name the variations anything you want to, and copy/paste the SKUs of the different Printify drafts for each mug design.
But this is not a combo, it's options not combo. They are going to get one option only. I need same but with a tote bag with it's accessory bag. They choose small plus the accessory bag, medium plus the accessory bag, how I can do that? Thanks for your help
You put 999, for the amount, but, what happens when the company runs out of that product, during Q4? I know you can have a second company, like Monster digital, with Swift POD, as a backup, but what happens if they run out, too? Couldn’t a customer complain because your store says it has 500 products, or 999?
Thanks for this video, it's very helpful. I'm wondering though since a lot of designs will most likely never sell, would it be more productive to not worry about sku numbers until at least the first sale? Then once your listing has been validated to make sales, go in and enter all of the sku's for automatic fulfillment? I saw another youtube video that suggested this would be better but was wondering what you thought. Thanks!
Hi! I don't recommend the "sync as you go" method unless you have your order fulfillment set to manual on Printify so nothing will be submitted to production until you have a chance to review and edit the order. I made a video about why: ruclips.net/video/wA024FqAtxA/видео.html
Hi I have tried this with woocommerce, but it does not Work, any idea?
An important question I can't seem to find the answer for: Is it possible to have 1 white 11 oz. mug product in Printify, and load variations of the same design for that one mug? Not COLOR variations of the product itself (seems every YT video covers this).. I'm talking 1 mug color, same designs but each design might have a color element on it that's different. For example: On this white mug you can get this design in grey, yellow, blue, or red text/image. Is it possible to make 1 product listing with variations in the same design and group that toghether on 1 listing on Etsy/Shopify? OR must you create 4 products with each colored design on same mug, and then group them together in 1 listing using their product sku numbers? I hope this makes sense. Thank you.
Hi! You would need to create separate Printify drafts for each design on the mug. But you can use the method from this video to combine them into one Etsy listing. At the step where you are adding the variations to the listing, instead of using the Capacity option, use the option to create your own custom variation. You can name the variations anything you want to, so just make the variations reflect the different design/color choices. Then copy/paste the SKUs from your separate Printify drafts and you'll have them all combined in one listing. I hope that helps!
Thanks for this! Just to check - if I wanted to create variations for phone cases of the same design (e.g. tough and flexi cases) but they are from different suppliers, will this still work?
Hi! Yes, you can combine product variations that are from different providers. Just make sure the shipping price in your shipping profile will work for both since you can only assign one shipping profile per listing. If someone buys one of each they will ship from different locations, but with phone cases that's generally not going to happen very often.
@@PODinsights Thanks for this, appreciate it!
Hi, how we do with the different prices of shipping for 11 and 15oz? are we charging the highest price?? thank you
Hi! The easiest way to handle this is to calculate the total "out the door" price that you need to get for your desired profit for each size first (including shipping). Then, pick any shipping price that you want and subtract that amount from the price of each product. Because you've already factored in the specific shipping cost into each price that you set, the price you charge for shipping can be anything you want.
11oz total cost: $9.68
11oz total retail price needed: $17.99
15oz total cost: $13.15
15oz total retail price needed: $22.99
Shipping price: $4.00
Final 11oz retail price: $13.99 (17.99 - 4.00)
Final 15oz retail price: $18.99 (22.99 - 4.00)
Curious. Can this be done when one product has a personalized option, but the variant does not? I want to sell 2 kitchen towels in my shop that coordinate with each other. One is personalized and the other is not. Thanks! I really appreciate your videos. They are so helpful!
Hi! The personalization option is set at the listing level on Etsy, so if you enable it, the personalization field will appear separate from all the drop-down choices for product variants. However, you can create custom names for each product variant to let the customer know certain ones cannot be personalized. For example you can edit the variant name to include NOT PERSONALIZED. It won't stop them from selecting one of those variants and then entering something in the personalization field, but it should at least discourage it.
@@PODinsights great! Thanks so much!
Hi, do you have to always do this for every design, even if it the same product
Hi! You can offer different designs on the same product within the same listing by including it in a custom variation. It works best with a product like mugs which don't already have multiple variations. You do need to create separate drafts on Printify for each design on the product, but then you can include them in the same listing by adding variations and naming them according to the design. However I wouldn't suggest doing this if the designs are significantly different from each other because you would want to use different keywords in your title and tags. It can work well if you offer the same design with slight variations though.
I followed the steps and clicked publish in Etsy but in Printify it says the 11oz is published and the 15oz mug is unpublished. Is that correct?
Old video I realize, however, the coupon code for free Premium is no longer valid. Even though it says valid through Dec. 31. 2023
Thanks for the info. Can I achieve this with having 1 design with the option to print it on multiple materials? Say poster option or canva with the same design in the same listing on Etsy? I’ve seen some people have it this way
Yes you can! You can edit the variations to include different products of any type or even different design options on the same product. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is combining different options that have big differences in the shipping cost because you can only have one shipping profile per listing.
Thanks for your awesome videos! I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to because there is so much fluff when searching the net. How do you setup a Etsy listing that contains 3 items? . Example, I want to sell a Set of 3 art print that is printed on Printify. There will be 3 separate products on printify but I want them to all come as one, no variations (well, possibly variations later with canvas instead of poster) But for now I can't seem to figure out how to combine 3 SKU's into 1 listing. Thanks!
I actually have the same question. Does someone know the answer?
Hi . I must have missed some tips. I created products on printify (poster, paintings, etc) . connected to Etsy. Do I have to create the listings ? because Etsy request to add listings . Tx
And just to clarify my understanding please Jeff...in theory, you would never need to publish a listing in Printify as long as the sku is correct in an etsy listing in your connected shop?
That's correct! As long as you have the SKU number for any variant you want to offer in an Etsy listing and a matching draft with the same SKU in your Printify account, you don't need to publish the listing from Printify.
I am trying to learn out how to make variations from Printify to Ebay for one design, but multiple dimensions. I see where I can bulk edit and also add variations on Ebay, but I ran into some issues. I don't want 5+ listing for the same thing, just need the drop down menu for sizes. Anyone know how to do this?
Hi great video. I am planning on selling an 11 ounce and 15 ounce version of my mug. I also was debating selling a colored 15 ounce mug with 5 variations. Should I add all to the same listing? Would there be an option for size and then an option for colors if they choose the 15 ounce color version or would it list all 7 choices (11 oz, 15 oz, and 5 colors of colored 15 oz)?
Thanks for the very informative video, as always. I have a question. I saved as drafts 8 design options for a t shirt in Printify and I want to link each of the 8 photos in 1 listing on Etsy. Can you explain how to do this? Thanks so much!
Hi! With apparel you will have 2 existing variations in the listing, one for size and one for color. Etsy only allows you to add 2 variations in the listing, but you can offer different design options but customizing one of the existing variations. For example, you can combine the design option with the color variations. With 8 options though, it's going to be a lot depending on how many colors you offer. But let's say you only offer two colors - you would have 16 variations because you have to add a variation for each color and design combination. So you would have Black - Design 1, Black - Design 2, etc. and the same for other colors. This will give you a separate SKU number variation for each combination of size, color, and design when you are finished.
How would you group together 5-10 pins where each one has a different design and you want to sell the grouping as one sale?
Hi! You can create a custom variation in the Etsy listing for a combination or quantity. For example if your existing variations are the design options on the pins, you can add an additional variant and call it "5-Pack" or "10-Pack" and then set your pricing based on that quantity for just that variation. However, if you use a print on demand platform like Printify, there is no way to have orders for the combination/quantity variant sync automatically to your Printify orders, because Printify won't recognize that a single variant is actually multiple products. You will have to manually import the orders from your "other orders" tab on Printify and add the correction design/quantity before submitting the order. If you check your orders regularly on Printify it's not too much work but if you get a high volume of orders it can get to be a lot. I hope that helps!
I have a question along these similar lines. Is it possible to sell a variety of printify items as a kit? Such as a shot glass along with a beer mug and a wine glass all combined as one order? But thanks for the info regarding combining in a listing because this is helpful for this newbie :-)
Hi! You can sell products this way on Etsy, however there is not a way to get the orders to automate on Printify so you would have to place the orders manually. On Printify, one SKU number has to be just one product. Each product variation on Etsy can also only have one SKU number. So if you create a custom variation in a listing that is a bundle or pack, that's going to be multiple products packaged together into what is supposed to be a single product variation, and Printify won't recognize that it's multiple products when the order comes in. But if you're ok with that, you can place the orders manually with the correct products. Basically when you are adding a variation to the listing, instead of using one of the pre-made variations on Etsy, you choose the option to create your own and then name it whatever you want to describe the bundle of products. I hope that helps!
@@PODinsights not sure I understand what you mean about ordering it manually, but I will start looking into that lol. I definitely appreciate you taking the time to give me a full-on answer to my issue :-)
@@bmacindustries8422 change your setting on printify to manual notification. To if an order comes in for the wine/beer/shot glass you have to manual add all items together for that order. As customer only sees one sku number for one of the 3 items. .. printify themselves showed me how to do it
So even if it's hidden in store the sku numbers will work? Sorry I'm completely new, would I have to keep all the drafts I have hidden on etsy or would that delete my sku number somehow lol
I have started selling mugs and want to add coasters to my shop. What would be the best way to add mugs and coasters in one listing? When I try this, it gives the customer an option to choose the mug or coasters.
Hi! The way Etsy listings work, customers will always have to add products to their cart one at a time unless you create custom variations that are bundled products, such as 1 mug + 1 coaster as a single variation so they only have to add it to their cart once. However if you do that, you'll have to manually fulfill orders (assuming your're using Printify) because Printify cannot identify two products from a single variation. If you use this method to include variations for your mug options and the coasters, customers will be able to shop both from the same listing but they'll have to add them to their cart one at a time - this is how it works for any listing on Etsy that has multiple product types in the same listing.
Hi, Curious, but does these various work if I wish to have 5 different colors on both 11 Oz and 15 Oz, for example? That is very useful advice for size variations. Much obliged.
Hi! Yes, you can have two variations in the listing, so if you want to do 11oz and 15oz size variations for different colors or designs, you can add a second variation and either use color or make a custom one to enter the names of the colors/designs, and then you will have a variation for each size and color/design in the listing. Great question!
Facing the same problem but man u resolved it Thanks Thanks Thanks .
Q1 for every combo listing the draft is necessary to keep?
Q2 if I am using a graphic or text in black color how can I change the color of graphic or text for dark tones coz it will look good on light colors but when it comes to blue or black it's not prominent or do I need to create different color graphics but with the same design like for black it would b white n for white it would be black n vice versa ?
I hope you are getting what I m saying plzzz respond I'm really stuck at this
Hi! For Q1: yes, you need to keep the drafts in your Printify account because that is how Printify will match up the product variants on incoming orders. For Q2, I think I understand your question but let me know if I misunderstood. If you have a design that has black or dark colors in it and you want to offer that design on a black mug (or any product that is a dark color), then you would need to use your design editing software to edit the colors of the design and create an additional file. There are lots of ways to do this, depending on the origin of the design. If you made the design yourself, you just need to edit the original file and save it separately. But if you got the design as a finished graphic PNG or vector file then you would need to use software like Photoshop, Photopea, Gimp, or Affinity (I'm sure you could use vector software too) to edit the colors within the graphic and then save it as a new file.
@@PODinsights Thanks man thanks alot
That's mean for white shirt and for black shirt under the same listing I need to create two different colors of same design but how I m gonna place two different colors in printify
I mean we have single design option for one listing may be I'm wrong how I m supposed to add 1 graphic for white shirt and 2nd graphic for black shirt under same listing?
But what if I need to list a set of 3 wall art products to be sold together? I don't think this process works for that, right?
You can create custom variations in your Etsy listing that are a bundle of products, however the orders will not sync to Printify. A product variation on Etsy is intended to be a single product, and each individual product variation on Printify has a separate SKU number. If you create a custom variation that is actually multiple products, there's no way for Printify to know that one variation is actually 3 items since one variation can only have one SKU number. When you add variations to an Etsy listing, instead of using one of the pre-made variations you would create your own. Then name the variation whatever you need to describe the bundle of products and set the price accordingly. It will work for the listing on Etsy, but when an order comes in you'll have to place the order manually on Printify.
How would I accomplish this is Woocommerce> I was looking for a Listing View forever...until I realized you were talking abut Etsy. SMH lol. Any help pointing me in the right direction would help. I'm stuck at this part of your video. I Published the 11oz and hide it in the store...and left the 15oz as a draft....Where do I go from here. I'm building a Wordpress Store...and using Woocommerce instead of Etsy. Thanks and Blessings-Don
