@jmike04 not all of them, I had to remove all sweatshirts since it is impossible to zync the variations. Hope some one comes with a video about that. Do far , I just listed tshirts and mugs
@@VipMindsetClub did you have any difficulty connecting your shop? and when did you set it up? I am having difficulty with setting up a shipping template
@@xeniamccullough9309 I did it at the same time I was watching this tutorial, and going back and forth until I finally understood the process. This video what very helpful. I have uploaded existing listing I copy from my shopify and my etsy store. However, Amazon did not recognize simple variations as size / colors in sweatshirts. So I decided to remove them, just leaving tshirts and mugs.
14:16 ... Do no click anything under variations when you try to do GTIN exemption because I kept doing that (I was following someone else's video instruction who said to click it) - I kept clicking color variations and the option to request GTIN exemption never showed up so I was stuck on this for 2 days. I just watched this video and noticed you didn't click it so I removed the checkmark I had under color variation and then finally saw the GTIN apply thing. Thank you so much for this video!!
For the Transit time, it has a drop down of choices but all of them are shorter options ranging form 1-2 days up to 5-8 days, it doesn't have the 14-28 days shown in your video.
6:05 When I create a new shipping profile, my default shipping address is automatically assigned as the warehouse location. My current warehouse location is in Colorado, so if I want to create a profile to sell t-shirts from the provider Monster Digital, the warehouse location assigned is Colorado, but it should be Florida.
I'm in EU, I managed to integrate Amazon US with Printify quite easy thank you. Can you please advise on the returns setup, How any returns can be sent to Printify instead of to my EU address?
Hey! You can let your buyers know that they don't need to physically return any items. You can just put your business address in the returns setup section.
?? I am setting up my first shipping profile and it looks like they may have made some changes already. For the Transit time, it has a drop down of choices but all of them are shorter options ranging form 1-2 days up to 5-8 days, it doesn't have the 14-28 days shown in your video. The first provider and product I am trying to set up has a shipping time of 6-9 days so none of these transit times fit into what they offer, what should I do in that situation? Also, in the region section it separates out my state into its own section and it wont allow me to put it in with the other states. As a result it has a shorter transit time listed, the longest option it gives me is 2-4 days since it probably thinks I am shipping from my state, which I am not. This could potentially make all my shipments seem like they are late.... ???
Hi there! Starting soon, Amazon will require sellers to have standard 5 day shipping and free 8 day economy options. Currently, we're working to make sure we can help our sellers meet the 5 day requirement. For all the latest updates keep an eye on Printify.com!
Hi there! You can check the status of their GTIN/UPC exemption requests by navigating to their Amazon account and then selecting Catalog → View Selling Applications → GTIN Exemption. However, it does not indicate the specific category for which the exemption was requested-only the status of the request.
On the exemption part, It still asks for all the details from the top tabs. Size, model number, and other attributes. It's not as easy as you say in the video.
Hey, Not all product categories require an exemption. If the acknowledgement pop up doesn't show, then the item doesn't need exemption and you can publish from Printify as usual.

There is a lot of confusion about Brand Approval. When we apply for this, for example selling a Gildan 5000 shirt, do we upload pictures of a blank shirt or one with the design for EACH listing? Can we upload a photo with a design as a sample and then use different photos for our listings? I think we are all just confused as to if we need to do this as a one time thing per product or every product/listing? Would we need sample with no design, or with one design for each product we want brand approval for or every product AND design we want brand approval for?
Hi, You need to show the exact brand name from the tag of the item as it will be in your listing. Please see this article help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/26757723907217-How-can-I-apply-for-brand-approval-from-Amazon-US
@@ziziyao1051 Hi, Not quite. If you want to use the brand name in your listing title (ex. Gildan), then you need to have it approved. If you don't plan on using the brand name, then you don't need to do anything.

Step 1 of the registration process requires a United States residential address. Is this likely to change? I'm UK based but was looking to sell using US POD suppliers.
Hi! You do not need to be a US resident in order to sell via Amazon US. Anyone can sell on Amazon using the Printify integration as long as the published products are coming from US based print providers. We suggest signing up via the special Printify/Amazon link in order to receive direct support from Amazon sell.amazon.com/brand-invite?ld=RPUSSOA-Printify-96r3p5up
That was very helpful, thank you. However, I believe that once it has been verified and listed in the Printify catalog, the application for brand exemption should not be necessary.
There are options now under shipping on Amazon. Are the same rates applied like for all 50 states? US Protectorates(Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands), APO/FPO(AA, AE, AP)
You've publicized it so well. It's gonna be a headache for everyone. I've been struggling for 24 hours to integrate with amazon. No one can solve the problem. There are no issues with the support team on printify. On amazon it's a horror. In 30 minutes 7 support people changed. Then it turned out to be the wrong department. No one knows anything. Before advertising, bring the case of integration to the end. If you have 100000 customers and all of them have errors, what will you do with them?
Hi there! We're sorry to hear about your experience. Our team is working with Amazon to make this process smoother for sellers and good things take time to figure out.

I'm not from US so i don't recognise all the Brand names. Is all the hoodies and sweatshirts, t shirt branded.etc branded? Do i need to do a UPC exemption for every brand i mqy use?
Hi! Brand approval and UPC exemption are two different things. For example, if you'd like to sell t-shirts, you'll need UPC exemption for t-shirts.

Hi, I need some help, after adding my products to the store, in the Amazon website, the price does not appear or the option to add to cart. It says 'featured offers are not available' what should I do? 🙏🏼
Hi there! It can up to 24 hours for an item to publish to Amazon. If after that these elements still do not appear, confirm that you are using a US-based print provider. If that also is not the issue, your next best bet would be to contact Amazon support to see if there maybe a specific issue affecting your publishing.
I was wondering how the returns would work also, could end up losing money with returns plus the $40 per month cost on amazon to sell is a bit risky if thats how it works, I think if its a custom personalised design you dont need to accept returns if thats possible and correct

Agreed! Selling Amazon POD, you will be competing with Amazon FBA sellers and Amazon Merch sellers, both of which offer 2-day delivery products. I have found success on Amazon with selling personalized products. If my product is personalized, the customer understands why the lead times are a little longer since it needs to be made custom for them.
I use Swift POD & Monster Digital to fulfill my orders on Printify but, I’m experiencing some difficulties with the shipping template on my Amazon POD page. In the dropdown shipping menu, only Swift POD is an option and not Monster Digital. The product in question is an item I am currently selling in my Etsy shop. I’ve copied the product to sell in my Amazon shop. The shipping information is correct on the Etsy side but, not on the Amazon side. Does anyone know how to remedy this? Thank you in advance.
Regarding the UPC & GTIN, it’s asking me to fill a bunch of product descriptions information. Am I doing something wrong? I thought all one had to do is click the two boxes mentioned and that’s it.
Hi! Please check how many categories you've requested. You need to request a separate GTIN/UPC exemption for each product category you intend to sell in. help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/26757557030161-How-can-I-request-a-GTIN-UPC-exemption-from-Amazon-US
All the videos about this on RUclips have the Hello Customs guy included. To do personalization with the Printify Amazon integration do we have to use Hello Customs? Or can we do things the same way as in Etsy? If our orders are set to fulfill manually???
Hi there! You do not have to use HelloCustom, even though it's a great resource! However, setting your order approval settings to manual should also work for Amazon.
@@Printify While Etsy is more tailored toward custom and personalized products, Amazon has stricter rules, so ensure you're meeting Amazon's guidelines when offering personalized items. Communicating with your customers about customizations might require more manual interaction on Amazon than on Etsy. If you handle personalization manually and ensure each order is fulfilled based on the customer’s requests, you can operate without the need for Hello Customs. Just make sure you're adhering to Amazon's fulfillment timelines and customer communication rules.
Hi, I have an existing KDP account and recently set up a Seller Central account using a different email, but it has been deactivated. Should I be using the same email as my KDP account to avoid any issues with duplicate accounts?
Nice work and great Integration! But Can you please give us options to add our own brand on the brand sextion instead of the Generic Brand option? thanks
Do all the variants list in a single listing or are they listing as separate listings?? That was a big problem with the printul integration? Shopify marketplace connection lists all variants in a single listing..
Yes, all variants will be their own listing. They will be the 'child' listing to a shared 'parent' listing. This is just how Amazon works, so each variation can rank separately. If you have a shirt with 10 colors and 6 sizes, this will be 60 child listings on Amazon. Therefore, I would recommend optimizing the title, description, and bullet points from inside of Printify so they get applied to all variant listings. I think Printify is also working on the ability to swap out your mockups, so you don't have to do that each time too.
@@HelloCustom So how would one go about getting all of those child listings under 1 parent listing? So on the listing page you can toggle between colors or sizes or whatever.
Hi there! You do need to apply for a brand again once it has been approved by Amazon. Check out these articles to learn more about the process: - help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/26757723907217-How-can-I-apply-for-brand-approval-from-Amazon-US - sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/G2N3GKE5SGSHWYRZ
I am in Australia and I pay for Amazon Premium. I will only be selling in the US, using Printify in America. When creating a new shipping template, it states 14 - 28 days transit times with no option to change this. I am guessing this is based off of my default shipping address being my Australian address. What default shipping address do you suggest I change it to so that it accurately reflects transit times within America?
Hi there! Your default shipping address can stay Australia it does not make any differences for standard shipping (Amazon Prime would be different case). Amazon traces order based on the tracking number details, where they see all locations (shipped from and to). However, double check to make sure you are using US-based print providers, and which shipping option you are filling in your rates for (Domestic, International / standard, expedited etc)
@Printify thank you. Can you please explain then why can I not edit the standard shipping transit times to something faster? If I can't make the transit times appear faster, my buyers will buy off of someone with better front facing shipping times. Unless you are telling me that the buyer will see adjusted dates somehow?
After applying for exemption you say hit "Submit". It doesn't let me without filling out "Product Description", "Bullet Points".... am I supposed to do that here or will all of that transfer from Printify?? If I'm not supposed to do it here, how do I get past this page an does my exemption still stand? (the pop up said I was approved)
Hi there! That's odd, however by simply by hitting Acknowledge there's no need to continue filling out the listing on Amazon. You can proceed to the next steps and publish your products from Printify. Please note that in some rare cases, it may take up to an hour for the exemption to become effective.
Prinitify team please respond as there is alot of confusion in comments Section, correct me if i am wrong. 1. Sellers based in other countries such as Germany, UK, India , Australia , Pakistan can sell as well but print providers should be USA based only and this intergration only works for USA sellers means above countries Sellers order does not show up in printify automatically we have to complete orders one my one Manually (Like ebay ) ? m i right ? 2. Sellers based in other countries such as Germany, UK, India , Australia , Pakistan can sell as well but print providers should be USA based only and this intergration works for everyone just (like Etsy). 3. if your business based outside USA than this printify pdate is not for you it wont work if u live ouside USA , your business should be based in USA to work with this update. PLS which option is correct mention?
Hi, Sellers can be based in countries outside of the US, however, at this time, you can only sell products coming from US based print providers. Even though the print providers are located in the US, they can still ship internationally.

Hi there! We do mention that Amazon automatically enrolls you in their professional paid plan. This plan is necessary for online sellers who need to set up shipping rates for items.
Amazon has an individual plan that is $0.99 /item sold and a professional plan that is $39.99 per month. Sadly, the individual plan does not allow you to integrate with apps like Printify or HelloCustom, as well as set shipping rates. Therefore, you must enroll in the professional plan to do Amazon POD.
@@mathieulaprise-tremblay1927 Hi! If you want to use the Amazon integration specifically, then yes, you'll need to pay $40/mo to Amazon for their professional plan.
no you're not because they are full of shit you are going to be charged on Amazon period okay it doesn't work like that then you got to sign up for FBA which she's left out okay been selling on Amazon for years that's the rules it's not just going to be able to post your stuff and everything is gravy sounds good though
Thank you Printify for this opportunity. When setting up shipping, can we use the address of the printing company ( for example Monster Digital ), or we have to use our personal address? Thank you for your help.
I already sell other products on Amazon, so I'm familiar with the platform, although it is really confusing. When I'm creating a new shipping template, the longest transit time I can choose is 4-8 days and I'm betting that is not long enough. Amazon can seriously penalize a seller when they don't meet their shipping promises. Am I missing something in the shipping settings?
Hi! The transit time for the Standard Shipping rate that is set by default by Amazon cannot be edited, so you'll need to add an extra shipping option.

@@juandmonsalve7478 not sure. Since I’ve had issues with Amazon threatening to suspend my account because I can’t meet their shipping dates, I’m considering going with the Amazon print on demand product. I like Printify a lot, but I need to maintain my Amazon account - that is my main selling platform.
Personally, I would check the box that says this product does not have a brand, where Amazon will set the brand as 'Generic.' I could see confusion from a customer if they click on the Adidas name for your listing and it took them to Adidas' Amazon store, where they do not see any of your products. Ideally, we would put our brand name there, but since we do not put our brand on the product/packaging, they are non-branded generic products by Amazon's definition.
@@HelloCustomyou still have to go through brand approval process if you want to sell brand names even if it is through Printify. That’s my understanding anyways.
Hi there! According to Amazon, you need to have pictures of all sides of the packaging. Having your brand on the packaging is not necessary, as long as it is definitely on the product.

Of course B+C and Gildan are recognized brands, I have tried a few times to get approval, with no success. Unless someone else chimes in on their success, I would like to know with Printify's method, have they actually had any approvals with it on their test accounts!?
Hi! I'm Sorry if this question has already been answered. I have an already existing amazon account. Do you know if there is a way to link existing products on amazon to now be fulfilled on printify?

Printify told me it’s an issue they are aware of and they’ll let me know when it is resolved. It’s only happening to certain people bc of where they live, but rn there’s nothing that can be done.
I am from Australia, I have tried to create a shipping template and do not see the 14-28 transit time also, I have had to setup a shipping address as the Printify return address in Texas as the location, as I don't see buyers sending items back to Australia as an option for them, which I would then be liable for those costs. Yes, I use Monster Digital, but since I have selected the state of Texas as my return address, Texas is being displayed as a separate (standard shipping) field with a quicker transit time, than the other US states. So my questions are: 1. As per OP, we can't see the 14-28 day option. 2. If we create a shipping template and our POD provider (for example: Monster Digital) is located in Florida, how does this reflect the transit time to customers, when we have a defined shipping from address (in my case Texas), other than Florida?
Hi there! As long as you use US based providers and check each category to see if an exemption is required there should be no limit to what you can sell
I don't understand the ASIN creation limit when creating listings from Printify. I only created 12 listings and then went back to change some prices and started getting "publishing error". How many listings are we allowed? This is very confusing! Please help clarify this.
Hi! Unfortunately, Amazon implements an ASIN creation limit, which we can't control. However, it'll reset at 0:00 GMT and you should be able to continue publishing.
Hi! It depends on your strategy and sales. If you're selling mostly larger sizes, then it might make sense to charge the higher price (meaning you'd make a bit more when you sell a smaller size). If you're selling mostly smaller sizes, then maybe the lower price (meaning you might lose a bit if you sell a larger size). You could also charge somewhere in the middle, evening out your gains and losses. You'll have to look at your sales stats to see what would make the most sense for you. :)

Hi, Yes, you only need to do it once. However, please note that brand approval and brand registry are two different processes.

a few questions. I was having some problems getting approved to sell brand names (Gildan, Comfort Colors Ect.) I connected all my accounts. but I cannot get approved to sell brand name shirts from printify on to amazon. I keep getting declined. I want to be able to sell it under a brand. and not just the generic products.
"We couldn't fetch your Amazon shipping templates. Please reload the page or contact customer support." error, contacted printify 1 month ago, and still no update 😔
I see that to get approved to use Gildan 1800 Sweatshirts Name in the title or description we'd have to show an invoice with a purchase of no less than 10 shirts. Is this correct? Do you have to purchase 10 of each type such as T-shirt, sweatshirt, and Hoodie? Can you sell them w/o approval if you don't mention the Brand Name?

A message will appear indicating that the upgrade process has started. This article will help explain this process in more detail: sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G201747610
I'm thinking of selling personalized t-shirts on Amazon with Printify, but I'm confused about it. People who shop on Amazon are used to being able to return products they buy for no reason. When I was selling on Etsy, I was able to let the customer know that I wouldn't accept returns. Is there a similar feature on Amazon?
Hi there! Amazon has a free 30 day returns policy. The policy allow buyers to return most items purchased on Amazon.com for a refund or replacement within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. We recommend incorporating a small margin into your product retail prices to accommodate potential returns. Be sure to periodically review this margin based on customer behavior. We can also suggest to have non-defective products returned to the merchants address. Merchant’s can set up their return address by navigating to their Amazon account and click the gear icon in the upper right corner and then selecting Shipping Settings. Then click on the “General Shipping Settings” tab and update the default shipping address to either their personal or business address In case you merchants don’t have a US based return address they can either provide a pre-paid return shipping label for their international return address or they can issue a returnless refund. Amazon’s return policy is available sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G200708210
And another question regarding the use of Brands in listings - to submit an application I need real photos, not mock-ups - correct? But if I do not live in the USA! And getting an order is very problematic - is it possible to order these photos from you or could you tell me where I could get them?
Hi there! Glad you got the help you needed. Just incase, here's a great article that breaks down the process in detail. help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/26757723907217-How-can-I-apply-for-brand-approval-from-Amazon-US
Hi! Thank you for this. Quick clarification on the business vs. individual sign up. Can you explain a bit more? I'm a sole proprietorship business, so that would still be individual, right? Which is better, indiv. Or business? ...
A sole proprietor is still a business, even if you are just 1 person. You can even be a 1-member LLC. It has to do with how you're classified with the IRS, and if the business fails, can your assets, like your car & house be seized to pay off your creditors.
@Adventureboundcruisetravel yep, totally get that. What I'm trying to say is that technically, I fit in both categories, and I want to know the positives and negatives to both. Probably should have worded it better in the first place, lol.
Hey! We suggest consulting with an accountant or attorney in this case as it's very specific to your business. Keep in mind, if you register as a business first, you won't be able to change it back to individual later.
19 minutes, you talk about Brands. When selling generic cell phone cases, Amazon says I cannot have "IPhone" in the listing. I stated the phone case is compatible with, but still not able to publish. What do I do?
Hi! You may need to apply for brand approval help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/26757723907217-How-can-I-apply-for-brand-approval-from-Amazon-US. If you're still having issues, please reach out to Amazon Support.
Hi there! Not sure what you mean by branded, but yes, you do not need to have your own specific brand in order to sell on Amazon. If you use the brand of the t-shirt as part of your listing however, you will need brand approval which you can learn more about here: help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/26757723907217-How-can-I-apply-for-brand-approval-from-Amazon-US

Hi i have uk registered amazon seller account.can i sell products if i choose usa print provider?If i create USA print provider template then connect to printify so who will be the customer region uk or USA?
So I have a question… I try to publish a tshirt from printify to Amazon but it didn’t work, so I’m doing the GTIN exemption thingy, and now I have to publish my first listing in Amazon, once I publish that, how do I connect that back to my printify?? And also, will I have to keep asking for a GTIN exemption everytime I want to publish a listing on Amazon? Or after my first publish, will I be able to do it automatically from printify? Sorry… I’m just having such a hard time trying to publish my first listing and am so confuse… 😓😓😓
Hi there! Yes, if you try to publish an item that requires a GTIN exemption, you will see an error if you try to publish it. However, not ALL items will require a GTIN on Amazon. You can quickly determine if your product will need a GTIN exemption by starting a blank listing from Amazon Seller Central. If you are not prompted to apply for a GTIN, you can resume their listing from Printify. Once you have applied for an exemption for a product, you will not need to apply for it again. Once you receive approval, there's no need to continue filling out the listing on Amazon. You can proceed to the next steps and publish your products from Printify. Please note that in some rare cases, it may take up to an hour for the exemption to become effective. More details about the exemption process can be found in this handy article: help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/26757557030161-How-can-I-request-a-GTIN-UPC-exemption-from-Amazon-US

Have you been able to publish listings from Printify to Amazon successfully?

@@xeniamccullough9309 I did it at the same time I was watching this tutorial, and going back and forth until I finally understood the process. This video what very helpful. I have uploaded existing listing I copy from my shopify and my etsy store. However, Amazon did not recognize simple variations as size / colors in sweatshirts. So I decided to remove them, just leaving tshirts and mugs.
SO finally Printify get intigrate with amazon congratulation 👍👌🤝
🥳
@@Printifybut what thats means for merch then ? 99% cant create account now
Helpful thank you. This is the integration we have been waiting for.
14:16 ... Do no click anything under variations when you try to do GTIN exemption because I kept doing that (I was following someone else's video instruction who said to click it) - I kept clicking color variations and the option to request GTIN exemption never showed up so I was stuck on this for 2 days. I just watched this video and noticed you didn't click it so I removed the checkmark I had under color variation and then finally saw the GTIN apply thing. Thank you so much for this video!!
For the Transit time, it has a drop down of choices but all of them are shorter options ranging form 1-2 days up to 5-8 days, it doesn't have the 14-28 days shown in your video.
So in order to for this integration to work we have to pay Amazon $40 PER MONTH?!
Yes
how to add Size chart on printify ? which we can later see pubished in amazon with our product?
6:05 When I create a new shipping profile, my default shipping address is automatically assigned as the warehouse location. My current warehouse location is in Colorado, so if I want to create a profile to sell t-shirts from the provider Monster Digital, the warehouse location assigned is Colorado, but it should be Florida.
I'm in EU, I managed to integrate Amazon US with Printify quite easy thank you. Can you please advise on the returns setup, How any returns can be sent to Printify instead of to my EU address?
Yes, I was also wondering how I can do this
Hey! You can let your buyers know that they don't need to physically return any items. You can just put your business address in the returns setup section.
@@Printify thank you so much for your reply. I will do that
?? I am setting up my first shipping profile and it looks like they may have made some changes already. For the Transit time, it has a drop down of choices but all of them are shorter options ranging form 1-2 days up to 5-8 days, it doesn't have the 14-28 days shown in your video. The first provider and product I am trying to set up has a shipping time of 6-9 days so none of these transit times fit into what they offer, what should I do in that situation? Also, in the region section it separates out my state into its own section and it wont allow me to put it in with the other states. As a result it has a shorter transit time listed, the longest option it gives me is 2-4 days since it probably thinks I am shipping from my state, which I am not. This could potentially make all my shipments seem like they are late.... ???
Hi let me know if you found any answer for this problem, I am also having it!!
Hi there! Starting soon, Amazon will require sellers to have standard 5 day shipping and free 8 day economy options. Currently, we're working to make sure we can help our sellers meet the 5 day requirement. For all the latest updates keep an eye on Printify.com!
@@Printify So we shouldn't list anything on Amazon from Printify until you notify us?
Is there a video where to look to see if GTIN is approved? I am unable to find the spot on seller central
Hi there! You can check the status of their GTIN/UPC exemption requests by navigating to their Amazon account and then selecting Catalog → View Selling Applications → GTIN Exemption. However, it does not indicate the specific category for which the exemption was requested-only the status of the request.
On the exemption part, It still asks for all the details from the top tabs. Size, model number, and other attributes. It's not as easy as you say in the video.
Hey, Not all product categories require an exemption. If the acknowledgement pop up doesn't show, then the item doesn't need exemption and you can publish from Printify as usual.

do we have to get a brand approval for printify's bella & canvas or gildan shirts? or do we just need a GTIN exemption?
Hi! If you want to use the brand name in your listing, you should apply for brand approval.
There is a lot of confusion about Brand Approval. When we apply for this, for example selling a Gildan 5000 shirt, do we upload pictures of a blank shirt or one with the design for EACH listing? Can we upload a photo with a design as a sample and then use different photos for our listings?
I think we are all just confused as to if we need to do this as a one time thing per product or every product/listing? Would we need sample with no design, or with one design for each product we want brand approval for or every product AND design we want brand approval for?
I have the exact queries to what "fancyflamingoxo" has just mentioned, this is important than just having "generic" tshirt being displayed.
Hi, You need to show the exact brand name from the tag of the item as it will be in your listing. Please see this article help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/26757723907217-How-can-I-apply-for-brand-approval-from-Amazon-US
@@Printify My understanding is that, for example, if Hoodies has a tag, it must have our brand name on it?
@@ziziyao1051 Hi, Not quite. If you want to use the brand name in your listing title (ex. Gildan), then you need to have it approved. If you don't plan on using the brand name, then you don't need to do anything.

Step 1 of the registration process requires a United States residential address. Is this likely to change? I'm UK based but was looking to sell using US POD suppliers.
it is very frustrating that the UK are always left out. still waiting for pop up shop for the last two years.
Hi! You do not need to be a US resident in order to sell via Amazon US. Anyone can sell on Amazon using the Printify integration as long as the published products are coming from US based print providers. We suggest signing up via the special Printify/Amazon link in order to receive direct support from Amazon sell.amazon.com/brand-invite?ld=RPUSSOA-Printify-96r3p5up
That was very helpful, thank you. However, I believe that once it has been verified and listed in the Printify catalog, the application for brand exemption should not be necessary.
Do I need to pay $40 per month for this integration?
Yes…
You have to be a professional seller on Amazon for this and it's $39.99 a month.

Hi, I need some help, after adding my products to the store, in the Amazon website, the price does not appear or the option to add to cart. It says 'featured offers are not available' what should I do? 🙏🏼
Hi there! It can up to 24 hours for an item to publish to Amazon. If after that these elements still do not appear, confirm that you are using a US-based print provider. If that also is not the issue, your next best bet would be to contact Amazon support to see if there maybe a specific issue affecting your publishing.
Does Amazon require POD sellers accept returns?
I was wondering how the returns would work also, could end up losing money with returns plus the $40 per month cost on amazon to sell is a bit risky if thats how it works, I think if its a custom personalised design you dont need to accept returns if thats possible and correct

Agreed! Selling Amazon POD, you will be competing with Amazon FBA sellers and Amazon Merch sellers, both of which offer 2-day delivery products.

All the videos about this on RUclips have the Hello Customs guy included. To do personalization with the Printify Amazon integration do we have to use Hello Customs? Or can we do things the same way as in Etsy? If our orders are set to fulfill manually???
Hi there! You do not have to use HelloCustom, even though it's a great resource! However, setting your order approval settings to manual should also work for Amazon.
@@Printify While Etsy is more tailored toward custom and personalized products, Amazon has stricter rules, so ensure you're meeting Amazon's guidelines when offering personalized items. Communicating with your customers about customizations might require more manual interaction on Amazon than on Etsy.
If you handle personalization manually and ensure each order is fulfilled based on the customer’s requests, you can operate without the need for Hello Customs. Just make sure you're adhering to Amazon's fulfillment timelines and customer communication rules.

Do all the variants list in a single listing or are they listing as separate listings?? That was a big problem with the printul integration? Shopify marketplace connection lists all variants in a single listing..
Hey! They should list as one listing. If a particular product is publishing as multiple listings, please let our support team know!
Yes, all variants will be their own listing. They will be the 'child' listing to a shared 'parent' listing. This is just how Amazon works, so each variation can rank separately.
If you have a shirt with 10 colors and 6 sizes, this will be 60 child listings on Amazon. Therefore, I would recommend optimizing the title, description, and bullet points from inside of Printify so they get applied to all variant listings. I think Printify is also working on the ability to swap out your mockups, so you don't have to do that each time too.
@@HelloCustom So how would one go about getting all of those child listings under 1 parent listing? So on the listing page you can toggle between colors or sizes or whatever.

I am in Australia and I pay for Amazon Premium. I will only be selling in the US, using Printify in America. When creating a new shipping template, it states 14 - 28 days transit times with no option to change this. I am guessing this is based off of my default shipping address being my Australian address. What default shipping address do you suggest I change it to so that it accurately reflects transit times within America?
Hi there! Your default shipping address can stay Australia it does not make any differences for standard shipping (Amazon Prime would be different case). Amazon traces order based on the tracking number details, where they see all locations (shipped from and to). However, double check to make sure you are using US-based print providers, and which shipping option you are filling in your rates for (Domestic, International / standard, expedited etc)
@Printify thank you. Can you please explain then why can I not edit the standard shipping transit times to something faster? If I can't make the transit times appear faster, my buyers will buy off of someone with better front facing shipping times. Unless you are telling me that the buyer will see adjusted dates somehow?
After applying for exemption you say hit "Submit". It doesn't let me without filling out "Product Description", "Bullet Points".... am I supposed to do that here or will all of that transfer from Printify?? If I'm not supposed to do it here, how do I get past this page an does my exemption still stand? (the pop up said I was approved)
Hi there! That's odd, however by simply by hitting Acknowledge there's no need to continue filling out the listing on Amazon. You can proceed to the next steps and publish your products from Printify. Please note that in some rare cases, it may take up to an hour for the exemption to become effective.

I do not see the link for tool to analytics
I don't see anything on here that states that you will be charged a $39.99 fee every month. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi there! We do mention that Amazon automatically enrolls you in their professional paid plan. This plan is necessary for online sellers who need to set up shipping rates for items.
Amazon has an individual plan that is $0.99 /item sold and a professional plan that is $39.99 per month. Sadly, the individual plan does not allow you to integrate with apps like Printify or HelloCustom, as well as set shipping rates. Therefore, you must enroll in the professional plan to do Amazon POD.

Thank you Printify for this opportunity. When setting up shipping, can we use the address of the printing company ( for example Monster Digital ), or we have to use our personal address? Thank you for your help.
Hi there! Your default shipping address should be either your personal or business address.
@@Printify so does that mean if a customer has a return it will be sent to our personal address?
I already sell other products on Amazon, so I'm familiar with the platform, although it is really confusing. When I'm creating a new shipping template, the longest transit time I can choose is 4-8 days and I'm betting that is not long enough. Amazon can seriously penalize a seller when they don't meet their shipping promises. Am I missing something in the shipping settings?
Hi! The transit time for the Standard Shipping rate that is set by default by Amazon cannot be edited, so you'll need to add an extra shipping option.

Since I’ve had issues with Amazon threatening to suspend my account because I can’t meet their shipping dates, I’m considering going with the Amazon print on demand product. I like Printify a lot, but I need to maintain my Amazon account - that is my main selling platform.
What photos do you upload for the PACKAGING to get comfort colors brand approval?? Ty!
Personally, I would check the box that says this product does not have a brand, where Amazon will set the brand as 'Generic.' I could see confusion from a customer if they click on the Adidas name for your listing and it took them to Adidas' Amazon store, where they do not see any of your products. Ideally, we would put our brand name there, but since we do not put our brand on the product/packaging, they are non-branded generic products by Amazon's definition.
@@HelloCustomyou still have to go through brand approval process if you want to sell brand names even if it is through Printify. That’s my understanding anyways.
Hi there! According to Amazon, you need to have pictures of all sides of the packaging. Having your brand on the packaging is not necessary, as long as it is definitely on the product. This article can explain more:
help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/26757723907217-How-can-I-apply-for-brand-approval-from-Amazon-US
@@snappywing In that case if you want to sell items branded from Printify, I would set is as "Generic" as I did, and do not mention any brands within title, product description.
Of course B+C and Gildan are recognized brands, I have tried a few times to get approval, with no success. Unless someone else chimes in on their success, I would like to know with Printify's method, have they actually had any approvals with it on their test accounts!?
Hi! I'm Sorry if this question has already been answered. I have an already existing amazon account. Do you know if there is a way to link existing products on amazon to now be fulfilled on printify? I know on Etsy it has to do with the sku. I'm just curious before I change things on amazon so I don't mess up my listings that are already selling. Thank. you!
Hey! Right now we don't have such a feature, but you could try these workarounds:
1. Publish the same product from Printify and then merge them on Amazon, or
2. Change the SKUs on Amazon to the SKUs on your Amazon Printify store
One thing I am confused about is I added an ornament and it became the parent listing to all the other ornaments that I loaded up after is that supposed to happen? They are all listed as variations
Hi there!
Theres a lot of factors that go into arranging variations which makes it hard to answer this question. But, this article we found breaks this process down and can provide the answer we think you're looking for. Check it out!

Hi,
can i connect amazon individual account with printify?
Hi, No, only with the business account will you get the full functionality of the integration.
Excellent video. I see that coffee is not available to sell on Etsy, TikTok Shops, or Walmart. Am I able to sell my coffee on Amazon?
Hi! Good question - For now coffee and other consumer packaged goods, like beauty and supplements, cannot be sold on Amazon via Printify, but it's something we are working on. :)
hi there! why we cannot put printify mock up on Amazon? and why we need to buy sample to be approved? we need to buy sample for each product? and what kind of muck up are allowed then?
Hi! You can use Printify mockups in your Amazon listing. However, if you are applying for brand approval, then you will need to order one sample of the item with the brand you'd like approved (ex. adidas, Champion, Gildan, etc.) and submit a photo of the tag. help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/26757723907217-How-can-I-apply-for-brand-approval-from-Amazon-US
Can we publish existing listings (ex: I have an Etsy store with items listed already) to our Amazon StoreFront?
Hey! You can absolutely use existing products on Amazon.
Hello! Tell me when I apply for exemption from UPS and G10, for example, for a T-shirt - I am asked to fill out a listing and add photos of the product before sending it for consideration! How do I do this correctly? I need to upload any photos of the layouts and write a description of my choice! After that, I can delete this listing? After all, it will not be synchronized with Printify - right! And this needs to be done for each category that I am going to sell on Amazon - right?
The question is removed! Already helped in support of Printify
Hi there!
Glad you got the help you needed! Just incase, here's a great article that breaks down the process in detail:

How do I set up free shipping cost for multiple items?
Great video! Do you know how long it takes Amazon to pay me for a sale? I know I have to pay Printify separately. Also, how am I notified that a sale has taken place on Amazon so I can pay Printify for production.
Amazon pays sellers every two weeks. There are some tools you can use for daily payments, but they take a percentage fee.
Hi there! Stephen from Hello Custom is correct! Also, regarding notifications, you can see your sales by either logging onto seller central or opening the seller phone app. In the settings tab you will also see a Notification Preferences section where you can configure how you receive notifications from Amazon.
When I am doing the Product Code Exemptions section and I click "Acknowledge" and when I try to hit "Submit" at the bottom of the page it is saying the are 29 items that require my attention. Won't let me just submit. Help please! :)

Where can we add customization? If we want to add a name or date to a tshirt, for example. I know how to do it in Etsy, but don't see how to integrate that between Amazon and Printify. Thanks!
Hi there! When creating your listing in Amazon, there should be an option to add customization. You'll then need to follow the usual personalization process in Printify, the same as you would with Etsy.
Is it takes two days to show your products on Amazon from printify?
Hi there! After publishing, your product will be visible to buyers within 1 Day on Amazon.

Has anybody had a problem with changing shipping times to 14-28 days? I have been with Amazon support for hours and can’t seem to find a solution
Yes, I am currently stuck on this.
Me three. I thought it was something I did. Any help out there
Printify told me it’s an issue they are aware of and they’ll let me know when it is resolved. It’s only happening to certain people bc of where they live, but rn there’s nothing that can be done.
I'm having the same issues.
I am from Australia, I have tried to create a shipping template and do not see the 14-28 transit time also, I have had to setup a shipping address as the Printify return address in Texas as the location, as I don't see buyers sending items back to Australia as an option for them, which I would then be liable for those costs.
Yes, I use Monster Digital, but since I have selected the state of Texas as my return address, Texas is being displayed as a separate (standard shipping) field with a quicker transit time, than the other US states.
So my questions are:
1. As per OP, we can't see the 14-28 day option.
2. If we create a shipping template and our POD provider (for example: Monster Digital) is located in Florida, how does this reflect the transit time to customers, when we have a defined shipping from address (in my case Texas), other than Florida?
Hello I followed everything you said and did, but it only allowed me to publish one item.
Hi! Please reach out to our support team so they can better assist.
How many categories & products we can list on Amazon with Printify, does it have any limit, extra charges or I can create unlimited listings...
Hi there! As long as you use US based providers and check each category to see if an exemption is required there should be no limit to what you can sell
@@Printify So it means I can create 100k designs only for tshirt...and all will list on Amazon for free, Yes or No ??
I don't understand the ASIN creation limit when creating listings from Printify. I only created 12 listings and then went back to change some prices and started getting "publishing error". How many listings are we allowed? This is very confusing! Please help clarify this.
Hi! Unfortunately, Amazon implements an ASIN creation limit, which we can't control. However, it'll reset at 0:00 GMT and you should be able to continue publishing.
Hi bella. 8:05 I sell posters, and there are two shipping prices depending on the size: one for $6.99 and one for $10.39. What do I do in this case?
Hi! It depends on your strategy and sales. If you're selling mostly larger sizes, then it might make sense to charge the higher price (meaning you'd make a bit more when you sell a smaller size). If you're selling mostly smaller sizes, then maybe the lower price (meaning you might lose a bit if you sell a larger size). You could also charge somewhere in the middle, evening out your gains and losses. You'll have to look at your sales stats to see what would make the most sense for you. :)
Off the personalized option is horrible in Amazon...any help?

Can you please help with brand approval using Printify? For example, I want to be able to use my business or brand name instead of GENERIC. So, when Amazon requests you to take a picture of your product, can we say just buy one product like a t-shirt, have you print our neck tag with our logo and would that be all we would need? After doing that and if approved by Amazon does that mean every product we sell on Amazon under our brand name has to have our logo on it?
Hi, Yes, you only need to do it once. However, please note that brand approval and brand registry are two different processes. Brand approval is obtaining permission to use an existing brand's name in your title (ex. adidas, Champion, Gildan, etc.). Brand registry is specifically if you own the brand. help.printify.com/hc/en-us/articles/26757723907217-How-can-I-apply-for-brand-approval-from-Amazon-US
Do we have to be using the 40$/month plan to connect the account it won't work for me ? If so, can we switch back to free plan after ?
Hi! Yes, you need to subscribe to the plan for the integration to work properly.
To sell Printify items on Seller Central, is it neceesary to have a business registration number?
Hi there! No, you do not need a business registration number.
Do I have to have a brand to create a store. I have a seller central account already I just want to change it so I can take advantage of the printify integration. I am not able to find the information I need.

What about returns? Amazon has a return gurantee.
Hi, As a seller, it's your responsibility to create return policies that follow appropriate guidelines.

Ok i changed my settings to individual seller thanks @Printify
I see that to get approved to use Gildan 1800 Sweatshirts Name in the title or description we'd have to show an invoice with a purchase of no less than 10 shirts. Is this correct? Do you have to purchase 10 of each type such as T-shirt, sweatshirt, and Hoodie? Can you sell them w/o approval if you don't mention the Brand Name?

I created the individual account by mistake initially. How do I go back and update to PROFESSIONAL so that I can integrate my printify store to Amazon? I have gone through to upgrade my account and still does not update. Any insight to what I am doing wrong?
Hi there!
Here is some advice from Amazon that may be able to help
To switch from an Individual selling plan to a Professional selling plan:
- From your seller account, click Settings, and then select Account Info.
- On the left side, under Seller Account Information, go to the Your Services section and click Manage.
- In the Sell on Amazon row, under the You are signed up for section, click Upgrade.
- Review the terms on the next page, and then click Proceed to Upgrade.
- You will be returned to Your Services. A message will appear indicating that the upgrade process has started.

I'm thinking of selling personalized t-shirts on Amazon with Printify, but I'm confused about it. People who shop on Amazon are used to being able to return products they buy for no reason. When I was selling on Etsy, I was able to let the customer know that I wouldn't accept returns. Is there a similar feature on Amazon?
Hi there!
Amazon has a free 30 day returns policy. The policy allow buyers to return most items purchased on Amazon.com for a refund or replacement within 30 days of the estimated delivery date.
We recommend incorporating a small margin into your product retail prices to accommodate potential returns. Be sure to periodically review this margin based on customer behavior.
We can also suggest to have non-defective products returned to the merchants address. Merchant’s can set up their return address by navigating to their Amazon account and click the gear icon in the upper right corner and then selecting Shipping Settings. Then click on the “General Shipping Settings” tab and update the default shipping address to either their personal or business address
In case you merchants don’t have a US based return address they can either provide a pre-paid return shipping label for their international return address or they can issue a returnless refund.
Amazon’s return policy is available

And another question regarding the use of Brands in listings - to submit an application I need real photos, not mock-ups - correct? But if I do not live in the USA! And getting an order is very problematic - is it possible to order these photos from you or could you tell me where I could get them?

instead of being able to add my product to the cart it instead says, " No featured offers available". Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hi! Thank you for this. Quick clarification on the business vs. individual sign up. Can you explain a bit more? I'm a sole proprietorship business, so that would still be individual, right? Which is better, indiv. Or business? ...
A sole proprietor is still a business, even if you are just 1 person. You can even be a 1-member LLC. It has to do with how you're classified with the IRS, and if the business fails, can your assets, like your car & house be seized to pay off your creditors.
@Adventureboundcruisetravel yep, totally get that. What I'm trying to say is that technically, I fit in both categories, and I want to know the positives and negatives to both. Probably should have worded it better in the first place, lol.
Hey! We suggest consulting with an accountant or attorney in this case as it's very specific to your business. Keep in mind, if you register as a business first, you won't be able to change it back to individual later.

So I have a question… I try to publish a tshirt from printify to Amazon but it didn’t work, so I’m doing the GTIN exemption thingy, and now I have to publish my first listing in Amazon, once I publish that, how do I connect that back to my printify?? And also, will I have to keep asking for a GTIN exemption everytime I want to publish a listing on Amazon? Or after my first publish, will I be able to do it automatically from printify? Sorry… I’m just having such a hard time trying to publish my first listing and am so confuse… 😓😓😓
Hi there!
Yes, if you try to publish an item that requires a GTIN exemption, you will see an error if you try to publish it. However, not ALL items will require a GTIN on Amazon. You can quickly determine if your product will need a GTIN exemption by starting a blank listing from Amazon Seller Central. If you are not prompted to apply for a GTIN, you can resume their listing from Printify. Once you have applied for an exemption for a product, you will not need to apply for it again. Once you receive approval, there's no need to continue filling out the listing on Amazon. You can proceed to the next steps and publish your products from Printify. Please note that in some rare cases, it may take up to an hour for the exemption to become effective.
More details about the exemption process can be found in this handy article:
