This is where I got stuck, the shipping cost setting for international & national, these little details are really helpful and worth paying attention to from the start, I am so grateful to see your video. Thank you.
You just earned a subscriber. The shipping options and which countries to ship to was driving me cray-cray on Etsy. Thank you so very much for sorting this out for me.

Thank you so much, Ben. This is so helpful. I was so scared to open my first Etsy store because I am not very technical but your video is very easy to follow along and your advice helped me out a lot.
That was super helpful! I didn't knew how to offer international shipping without losing money but you teached all of us how to do it in a very simple way! Thank you 😊
How do you get the tracking number to complete the order if your using print on demand? I have an order that is still incomplete because I don't have a tracking number.
Thanks for this, useful to know. I was trying to calculate shipping to be included in price and not make a loss if purchased from afar! Makes sense now! Earned a sub!
Thanks for posting, so helpful. As with a lot of videos, always at break neck speed. Not sure if there is a time factor. As its a tutorial really need to slow down. to prevent stop rewind , repeat. Having said that have subscribed and will watch again and others you have linked.
Wait so if I change the shipping profile, does it still go to the POD you chose to create the shirt with or does it send it to a new POD provider to fulfill the order?
Thank you for explaining how this worked thank you. I did have one question well actually 2. When you are offering free shipping in the u.s. do you just look at how much that is to ship and mark up the cost of the product to absorb the shipping cost and the same with the Etsy fees. Thank you
Yeah this is a bit confusing. When I did some digging on this a while back I ended up finding an article from Printful that stated to use Zip 91311 for this. Full transparency I'm not 100% positive that this is the best zip to use. May be worth a chat with Printful support!
i did the exact same process and i got my first order, i go in the orders section in etsy and its asking me to print labels :/ no idea what i did wrong. watched the video multiple times. any help?
Hi Ben, great video, definitely! Quick question though. Say Printful - given that they have printing facilities all around the world, doesn't that make shipping cost-effective automatically? How does it work once an order comes into Etsy. I'm in the UK. Say my friend in Australia orders a cup - does Printful automatically send the order to their Australian facility and ship from there? If that's the case - say I chose 'free shipping' right there and then in the Printful settings - I would hope that shipping cost will be at a minimum for all those countries that have Printful's printing facility in the area. Am I making sense?
Exactly what I needed, thank you for explaining this so well. Can I just ask a question please? If you have specified a uk print company in Printify but also have everywhere else as an option will Printify select another print company local to the customers location outside the UK?
This was helpful! My only question still is after I set up these shipping profiles, let's say I didn't offer free shipping. So when a customer buys my product on etsy and pays for shipping on etsy as well. Will I be charged on printify for shipping as well? Or has that shipping cost been covered by the customer already? And if it has been handled already does Etsy then pay printify for the shipping costs when they send the order over? I just don't want the customer to pay for shipping, but then I also have to pay for shipping. Trying to avoid double paying and losing profits. And I can't seem to find a clear answer to this question anywhere. So if you have one that'd be amazing. Thanks!
Hey. Good morning to you. That was so useful. Relieving some of my brain fog this morning😂 and gibing me steps to focus on. Blessings and well wishes sent to you for making this vis😃🙏✌️✨
@Javan Benoit i'm a little bit confused by your comments. You are saying that zip code should be the one of Printify. Etsy however is asking however "Where do you dispatch packages from?". Which in my understanding would be zipcode of your production partner as they support with shipping (for example Moster Digital / FYBY / etc.) Is my understanding incorrect? If so please provide me with reasoning.
Hey Lara! Copying this response from above "Yeah this is a bit confusing. When I did some digging on this a while back I ended up finding an article from Printful that stated to use Zip 91311 for this. Full transparency I'm not 100% positive that this is the best zip to use. May be worth a chat with Printful support!"
Thank you so much for all of the helpful information. If i do as you said, will Printify automatically put in the weight and size of the item when packaged? Im having a hard time with that. Thank you, again!
Great info. but now shipping a small poster is 8-11 business days. Yikes.. Must be because of the holiday season. I'm just starting my Printful/Etsy shop. And looks like shipping everywhere else I'm gonna have to select like $10 for a rd. about # to make sure I don't take a hit. After all the videos and reading for the past two lol Thx again and new Sub here. :)
Help me please, I'm trying to add a new listing and it's asking me for weight and length , I don't know them, I have printiful doing everything for me, it doesn't let me save setting to add listing on Etsy with our it!
I just started with Printify and use multiple print providers. How does the printed cost get calculated if someone orders an item for two (or more) print providers.
Thank you! A huge issue I have is that my etsy store is in Canada however printify bills and posts in USD. Makes sorting out shipping costs an extra mind boggler. My question to you from the video is if you set your profile to free shipping for the US, will you get the "free ship" green tag? Or is the green tag only related to the etsy free ship guarantee?
Thank you so much for the video... I Still have a question - if you offered free shipping in the US as opposed to Printify's UPS standard cost of shipping that it automatically generates - wouldn't it bump up the cost we retail at because they have to pay something for the shipping? Sorry still a little confused! Thank you so much
Very informative! thank you! I started an Etsy shop recently, and shipping has been tough for me to figure out. Als0, you may have already covered this, but how do I offer my Etsy customers expedited shipping?
Thanks for the comment and question! When you setup a shipping profile there is an option to add a "Shipping upgrade". This is where you would add any premium shipping services that you want to offer! Hope that helped and let me know if you have any questions!
Hi Thanks for your video. I live in France and have a French bank account. I have just created my Etsy store here for POD products and its connected to Printful France in Euros. I want to ship everywhere, not just France but Printful asks you to name a production location so I listed Barcelona. I also plan on offering free shipping everywhere and building the shipping costs into my list price....but......here's where I get stuck. Say someone in Canada orders one of my tshirts. Will Printful make it in Spain and then ship it from there to Canada, or will the tshirt be made in Canada and shipped from Canada to the customer there? Same for the US. An American orders my wall art, does fulfillment automatically gets pushed to the nearest fullfillment center to the client? Will the shipping fees listed on Printful be the real shipping cost from Canada's fulfillment center to the customer there, or is the shipping cost still calculated from the fulfillment center in Barcelona? It really isn't at all clear on Printful's website and I haven't yet found a tutorial that addresses this clearly. Thanks for any help you can offer.
@@mrlj1412 same question did you find out the answer? I thought that items are printed in the closest location so that has confused me as to whether i can set free shipping world wide but adjust prices for locations.
Very very very informative Thanks Ben Kindly do a session on product research for Etsy and can we go with Amazon as a third party ? If then what may be the pros and cons ?
This is very helpful, thank you! A couple things. Do you let them choose shipping upgrades for faster delivery? Also, I see Etsy asking for the weight of my products and not sure why.
Hi Ben, is it possible to use Both printify and Printful on 1 shop ? For example : Using Printful for mugs Using printify for bottles On the same Etsy shop
I dont know what's going on with Printify but they're constantly increasing their shipping fee. I've only been using them for 6 months in conjunction with Etsy and already seen 2 shipping fee increases. Now I have to go into my Printify account and individually change the shipping price for over 100 listings? That's so much work!
Hi! If I'm an Etsy seller from the US but received an order from Canada, do you know if the customer will be charged a duty fee from Etsy even though Printful will likely ship the product out from its Toronto fullfillment center? Thank you!
Hi Ben... I'm from the UK.. I will be using printify... Do you suggest I use a UK print provider on printify or would it be fine to use a US provider? There is a few US print providers that i prefer over the UK ones.. Tks..
Not sure if this is true but possible scenario .. girl on YT comment last year or so? said her boyfriend lunched his store and had over $10k in orders first month, he couldn't cover in his credit / bank card and most orders cancelled as POD supplier would not fulfil orders. She said he was going to have to start all over gain.
Thank you for your information! I have a question…is it possible to add free shipping included in my Etsy shop with print on demand (printify) for international as well? Ex: item is $5 and shipping is $11.50… instead I want to make item $16.50 which means free shipping… Can you please help me with that?
Hi Ben, I have a question about the origin post code. This is where I'm stuck. I'm planning to use Printful or Printify that is both US base. What should I write on this one? I've watch a bunch of videos already but no one seems to care about this box. I noticed when you click "enter fixed priced manually" the origin zip/post code when away. Please help. Thank you in advance. :)
@@nickp527 for me it doesn't. Whether I'm using "calculate for me" or fix manually" , the origin zip code is still there. I'm confused as to which zip code does it want? Does it want my home address zip code or the fulfillment center's zip code. I really don't know.
@@ellechimliag3940 Actually I fiqured it out(for me atleast). Since I have a print provider that is in canada(duplium), I just swittch country of origin to canada and it gets rid of the zip code
Hey there! Thanks for the question. Copying this from another comment I responded to: "Yeah this is a bit confusing.

Hey Ben, so I wanted to see if you can help me. I got an order yesterday of 4 candles and it's supposed to charge shipping but instead etsy gave the customer free shipping. I bought 1 candle for myself to try it out and it charged me 7.99 as it should but how come when she bought 4, it was free ship? It's really took a chunk out of my profit and I am lost.
Can we use other shipping label than Etsy ? How can we complete order without printing Etsy label . Etsy allowed me to do that before but it doesn’t allow .
Went I look at international shipping from printing it shows around 14-23 dollars for international...as per your example of a fixed rate of 4 $ in an internal shipping isn't that too low?
Yeah he took a shortcut explanation, if your doing international shipping, probably better to leave the defaults that were there in the first place, and just set the us one to free shipping if you are selling from within US. Else you would have to create a listing for each country specifically and Jack up the prices for each country according to how much it costs to ship within that country, I think there's another Printify RUclipsr that kind of explains things better
Hi Ben, I’m so confused with setting a shipping price on Etsy with a product that has a different shipping price because the size and the location to be shipped , per example a rug that comes in 2 sizes but each size has a different shipping price.
Hey Elizabeth, good question. I believe that you would probably have to set them up as separate listings which is frustrating. The problem is that Etsy doesn't let you set shipping profiles at the variation level only at the listing level. I know that is a bit of a problem so we just have to work with what we've got!
hi ben i just did the math and couldnt believe after production costs and shipping costs Im only making just over 5 dollars per item?! ! I kept hearing quotes of making double that per shirt. is it normal this normal or have i choosen the wrong shipping choice. I think i did USPS first class. The shipping was almost nine dollars for someone right here in the U.S. Im so confused. Thanks for your time appreciate you.
Hey thanks! I'm glad it was helpful. And in regards to your other question, I have been doing a blanket cost for international. So I try to average things out somewhere around $5 for T-shirts shipping internationally. While making this video I actually updated all of my listings as well! Let me know if any questions come up!
I'm coming across a strange bug where I set all prices but US to fixed prices for shipping but the next day when i check my store the shipping profile has reset and everywhere has free shipping. I have reset them to fixed prices 3 times now but the next day they always change back to free delivery. Would appreciate some insight if you have any?
oky so if i do not charge shipping how do i work this out so that i actually make profit coz i cant charge too much for a t shirt and production costs plus shipping from the printing company may even cost what I sell the t-short for all together .
You should be able to setup free shipping for the US and then you would just be charged by Printful for the shipping rates as shown here: www.printful.com/shipping#shipping-rates Hope that helps!
Hello Ben. Thank you for the video. Etsy is asking for the original zip code when I am filling the Delivery Profile. Do you know what zip code should I provide Etsy with, as the product can be shipped from Printful's US, Canada, or Latvian location. Thank you!
Yeah this can be super confusing! I believe with Printful I'm using zip 91311! I had to do a bunch of searching to find this. If you still have questions you can always start a chat with Printful support. They are super helpful!
Thanks Ben. Educational and useful, as always. So, do you have to pay up front for your shirts from printful before you get the money from Etsy? Also, how soon can you get the money from Etsy? I'm just think of a scary scenario where you fortunately sell 10 shirts on your first sale but you dont have $100 dollars to stump up the cost.
Hey Aaron thanks so much! In terms of payment, when a customer pays on etsy the money goes into the Etsy account and they pay out to your bank account or payment method normally once a week BUT you can request the funds sooner. Printify/Printful will charge you separately for the product cost. Hope that helps! So in theory it would be possible to run into a cash flow issue but if you think that may happen then request the funds to be disbursed from Etsy sooner! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I was coming to ask this! The shipping cost to Canada is double. If you set shipping as $5 you will be paying half the shipping
Thanks Ben, I have a pretty similar process. It can be complex. I've started incorporating the VAT Printify tacks on for some countries.
Thank you for this. What do you put when Etsy wants a weight and package size?
Thankyou!!!! I was literally stressing trying to figure this out!
Where it asks for the original zip code, do you put in the other company’s? I’m using this photo printing place to drop ship my prints.

Im getting On hold under status and tracking pending. I don't have tracking because printify doesn't give it. 😢
when you offer free shipping do you need to increase the price on printify or the shipping cost was already factored in cost of production by printfy?

How i do standart shipping and fast shipping options together. Just customer choose standart or fast shipping. I want to give two option?

I bought 1 candle for myself to try it out and it charged me 7.99 as it should but how come when she bought 4, it was free ship? It's really took a chunk out of my profit and I am lost.
Do I have to choose the delivery carrier or does that not matter?
when im based in an other country, not in US, still targeting US customers, can I do the same like free for US and not for the other countries?
Can we use other shipping label than Etsy ? How can we complete order without printing Etsy label . Etsy allowed me to do that before but it doesn’t allow .
thank you for the tutorial!
So if you have free shipping, printify will still charge the seller for shipping?
Went I look at international shipping from printing it shows around 14-23 dollars for international...as per your example of a fixed rate of 4 $ in an internal shipping isn't that too low?
Yeah he took a shortcut explanation, if your doing international shipping, probably better to leave the defaults that were there in the first place, and just set the us one to free shipping if you are selling from within US. Else you would have to create a listing for each country specifically and Jack up the prices for each country according to how much it costs to ship within that country, I think there's another Printify RUclipsr that kind of explains things better
Hi Ben, I’m so confused with setting a shipping price on Etsy with a product that has a different shipping price because the size and the location to be shipped , per example a rug that comes in 2 sizes but each size has a different shipping price.
Hey Elizabeth, good question. I believe that you would probably have to set them up as separate listings which is frustrating. The problem is that Etsy doesn't let you set shipping profiles at the variation level only at the listing level. I know that is a bit of a problem so we just have to work with what we've got!
Thanks you for your video is very helpful
What do I put as the zip code I am stuck
hi ben i just did the math and couldnt believe after production costs and shipping costs Im only making just over 5 dollars per item?! ! I kept hearing quotes of making double that per shirt. is it normal this normal or have i choosen the wrong shipping choice. I think i did USPS first class. The shipping was almost nine dollars for someone right here in the U.S. Im so confused. Thanks for your time appreciate you.
Great tutorial. I learned something new.
Hey thanks! I'm glad it was helpful. And in regards to your other question, I have been doing a blanket cost for international. So I try to average things out somewhere around $5 for T-shirts shipping internationally.
While making this video I actually updated all of my listings as well! Let me know if any questions come up!
I'm coming across a strange bug where I set all prices but US to fixed prices for shipping but the next day when i check my store the shipping profile has reset and everywhere has free shipping. I have reset them to fixed prices 3 times now but the next day they always change back to free delivery. Would appreciate some insight if you have any?
oky so if i do not charge shipping how do i work this out so that i actually make profit coz i cant charge too much for a t shirt and production costs plus shipping from the printing company may even cost what I sell the t-short for all together .
What to do with zip code?
What if I am in EU and the supplier is in US, can I add free shipping for US? Am i going to lose something?
You should be able to setup free shipping for the US and then you would just be charged by Printful for the shipping rates as shown here: www.printful.com/shipping#shipping-rates
Hope that helps!
Thank you 👏 this was so helpful and easy to follow
Thanks for the comment and feedback! Much appreciated!
Hello Ben. Thank you for the video. Etsy is asking for the original zip code when I am filling the Delivery Profile. Do you know what zip code should I provide Etsy with, as the product can be shipped from Printful's US, Canada, or Latvian location. Thank you!
Yeah this can be super confusing! I believe with Printful I'm using zip 91311! I had to do a bunch of searching to find this. If you still have questions you can always start a chat with Printful support. They are super helpful!
Thanks Ben. Educational and useful, as always. So, do you have to pay up front for your shirts from printful before you get the money from Etsy? Also, how soon can you get the money from Etsy? I'm just think of a scary scenario where you fortunately sell 10 shirts on your first sale but you dont have $100 dollars to stump up the cost.
Hey Aaron thanks so much! In terms of payment, when a customer pays on etsy the money goes into the Etsy account and they pay out to your bank account or payment method normally once a week BUT you can request the funds sooner. Printify/Printful will charge you separately for the product cost. Hope that helps! So in theory it would be possible to run into a cash flow issue but if you think that may happen then request the funds to be disbursed from Etsy sooner! Let me know if you have any other questions.
