If you are looking to have custom products become more passive for your print on demand business then I highly recommend trying HelloCustom which will actually automate this entire process for you: hellocustom.io/?via=taylorpod
Hi Taylor. How will you handle the SKU in the case of HelloCustom as they require to have the SKU? I am wondering if they do this immediately or you need to wait 24h for submission to printify. Thanks
Thank you so much for this video...all your videos! I'm a 65 year old Mimmie of 4 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. I'm 2 months into POD and really enjoying it. My struggle is ME! hahaha...I worked in technology all my life but since I've retired some of my confidence and skills have decreased. I LOVE how you explain things in a way I can understand them! Thank you for taking the time to help me....all of us! God Bless!
Thank you I’m new to POD and Etsy and this is what I was looking for eventually want to start selling bundles or couples shirts or whatever the group being selling his I will be going back and watching this again. This is very helpful. Thank you so much for explaining this so thoroughly.
Thank you, Taylor. How about combo listing with multiple products from different print providers + personalization? I saw many sellers with listings that includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, long sleeves etc from babys to adults with different colors, with different print providers and with personalization. Thanks
I've watched several videos on how to do custom items between Etsy & Printify and this is the first time I finally got it! The others made it sound like you had to create it first in ETSY and then do a draft in Printify. Really confusing. Thanks so much!
I did the same thing with creating listings in Etsy and printify too but just a draft in printify should I be deleting all the drafts on printify? I have like 30 listings on Etsy and in printify 30 drafts one for each design!
I i’m so grateful that you set this up. I want to start off using customization because with the research I’ve done it blows everything else out of the water. However, I understand it’s going to be labor-intensive if I get a lot of orders. Wish there was an easy way to make this automatic lol. By the way, I’ve been on Etsy since 2012. I did not know anything about this print on demand business til recently. I’m blown away after I’ve done the research I’m in the wrong business so I’m moving into this. Wish me luck! By the way, I absolutely hate the new version on Etsy !
You should check out HelloCustom! I have a link in the description it automates personalization for you! Worth it if that will be your primary focus ☺️
this was way better than alot of other videos i seen on personalized products. everyone always seems to skip a step... this answer a very simple question i had. good stuff
Thank you so much Taylor! This makes this process so much easier. I was getting ready to create my first personalized product and was making it so much harder than it had to be. At 69 years old I am really into simple. Best Regards Ed
Thanks for a great tutorial on POD custom orders. I started my Etsy shop in November and have been so intimidated by doing custom orders, but I know I need to just do it! This is the best tutorial I've seen yet! PS...I like the old version on Etsy too. I've had another Etsy shop for 10 years and it's what I know! :)
@@TaylorPOD Just in time for my first custom order! You made it so easy! Do I have to do anything in Etsy like select the order and click "Complete"? I think I have to wait until it's dispatched by Printify.
@heathergallant2469 yay!!! That’s so exciting! And Printify will complete the order when it ships by adding in the tracking number for you just like with regular orders ☺️
Thank you for such a clear tutorial! I see tutorials, where they say click "draft" rather than "publish" in Printify for personalization. I am confused on that part, when do we click "draft" and when do we click "publish" for personalization? Also, would you please consider doing a tutorial on how to save our editable designs in Kittl and Canva? That would be so helpful. One last thing, do you pull down your opacity on your Kittl mockup design before downloading it for Etsy, like we do in Canva?
Thank you so much for your super clear tutorial! I’ve been winging my custom orders the last few weeks 😅 because different videos say different things, but I clearly understand your process! I really appreciate it 💕
How do you do t-shirts? that has adult shirt and a child shirt that are on same listing with all the sizes that can be customized? Is it the same process? Thanks
Thank you for this video! It worked great for my first product test. Then I had a customer purchase two items from my Etsy shop. One with a SKU and one without a SKU (needed customization). Turns out when this happens the one with a SKU comes over to Printify but the one without a SKU I had to manually enter that order for the customer. I contacted Printify and this is what they recommended. Have you ever had this issue?
You make the BEST videos- thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. What would happen if a single customer ordered several sizes of a listing. For example, if it was a sweatshirt being customized, if they purchased three total... one size small, one size medium and one size large. Would that come through to other orders on one order? Or three orders? And would they all be shipped together since ordered together? Thanks!
Hi Taylor, I really like your videos, you explain things thoroughly. I do have a suggestion on improving the sound, maybe a mic that is closer to you? Currently, it makes your voice sound like it's far away from the mic. As for using the new version, at first I didn't like it but then I got used to it and now I only use the new version. 🙂
Thanks Taylor, great information on customizations. I just added a few custom ornaments yesterday and got an order today! I didn’t know about the hack to remove the sku’s. Waiting to hear back from the customer on a design preference, but since I didn’t remove the sku’s (and will be manually submitting the order) I was going to upload the new file for the customer customizations then submit and once it’s processed then take the sku’s out for future orders. Thinking this will be a good workaround? I also like the old Etsy listing form! Loved your interview with Heather! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for the great video! I recently started my Etsy shop, and I have a background in graphic design. Now, I have a question: Do you send an image of the custom order mock-up to a customer so they can see what the product will look like? Otherwise, some might say, 'Oh, this is not what I wanted.'
I do not unless the customer specifically requests it. It would be incredibly time consuming and delay production. I keep customization pretty basic so there really wouldn’t be any surprises to how something turned out. Also, thank you for being here and watching this video! 😊
Thank you for your response. I have another question. You suggested leaving the SKU blank. I'm selling sweaters with multiple color options, offering personalization as an option. Some customers might order without custom text. Do I need to keep SKUs for those who don't need custom text? Essentially, I'd like SKUs for customers without custom text to enable automated production. For those who want custom text, can I still manually process their orders with SKU?@@TaylorPOD
Thanks for all your vids!! So helpful . I had a question, I recently had a customer that bought an automatic (non custom) shirt from Etsy as well as a personalized ornament. Would I have to manually do the shipping separately? Because it seems to have showed up as one order. Thanks for your help :)
hello! your video was very helpful! I just have one question, for custom orders, how do you know what to put for shipping weight and info if it is print on demand? I’ve been trying to figure out how to calculate shipping weight for so long with no luck 😕
It’s best to leave out SKUs entirely for personalized products if you have lots of different variations and just fulfill manually or integrate with a software like hello custom who will automate it for you.
@@TaylorPOD So if I've listed a sweater in several different colors .... Am I basically doing the same process as any other listing, but just deleting all of the sku's that automatically populate for each color/size variation (and of course adding the customization toggle with directions)? I'm just confused because other videos are typing in the variations when mine are already there for me or they are starting the listing in Etsy first. Eventually, I would love to use Hello Custom, but just can't justify it until I actually start receiving orders. Thanks in advance and sorry to hijack your question @bjv2851.
Hi Taylor. Thanks so much for this video. 😊 i just want to double check.. so if I want to create more custom listings of the same product I don't have to start the process again from printify, right? Just wondering if printify will know about this order eventhough i just create the listing on Etsy? It'll save so much time but i just want to make sure. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the video. New to Etsy and I found personalization super intimidating. I received my first custom order and can see it in Etsy but not printify yet. How long does it take to cross over to printify?
Your SKU's should transfer over automatically if you are inputting your listing from Printify. If they aren't populating then I would confirm your Etsy store is connected to your Printify account. It's important to be creating the listing on Printify - if you are creating the listing on Etsy first then the SKU numbers will not populate.
Hi Taylor, nice video. Quick question.. any idea how to make a listing that sells either the custom digital design or custom physical product? I see them often on Etsy but has no idea how to create such a listing. For example shops that sells custom map designs?
Hey! So that requires a bit of manual work in creating that type of listing and has to do with the variations added. I plan to make more videos in the future about adding different variations in one listing in the future 😀
hope to see it soon, I saw many custom listings that provides both digital and physical option, tried asking Esty support about it but they told me I need to make 2 separate listings, one digital and one physical.. but what I saw others doing is all on 1 listing 😅 @@TaylorPOD
Hi Taylor! Thanks for this informative video! Just a question: What happens if you want to add three variations to your listing (besides the personalization option), say three colors of the horse (or the hair color of the rider, whatever...) which the buyer can pick from a drop-down menu, then how will you know which variation the buyer selected when there are no SKU numbers connected to the variations? Will you see the chosen variation under the Printify "Other Orders" tab, along with the typed in names and date?
My best recommendation to do something like this would be to actually create a listing photo that shows all of the “options” for example for hair color. Number those hair colors and in the personalization box have the customer type in which number they’d like. Hope this makes sense!
@@TaylorPOD I meant the background of the actual pillow. Can we use a background color to be printed on the entire pillow? Or does it have to be white? 🤔
what if the personalization details user gave are too long? for instance a long name that doesn't fit? Should we state a character limit on personalization?
I am considering whether to set order approval manually or automatically. Currently, my store offers products without customization, but I am planning to introduce personalized products. I'm curious whether orders without SKUs will be included in the automatic approval process if I continue to set order approval automatically once per day. Is it possible to maintain this setup, or do I need to manually review orders for the entire store?
Orders without SKUs can not be automatically approved because they will not be connected to a product. I would recommend integrating with HelloCustom if you’re looking to automate personalization. I have a link in the description for a free trial.
Great question! No, the Etsy listing will not reflect that and generally if you’re using printify as a print provider I don’t recommend allowing the stock to be adjusted on Etsy. The reason being with printify having a multitude of print providers to choose from - stock issues really don’t come up in my experience. I have never experience not being able to fulfill an order due to stock in thousands of sales.
Hi Taylor, Have you ever had a customer order a custom item as well as a non custom item? I just ran into this, and since the non custom item had a sku and the custom item didn't, when they went from etsy to printify, my custom item was lost and didn't transfer, after going through quite the back and forth with printify's help chat, apparently if two items are ordered together and one has a sku and one does not, the one without will not get brought over, it's basically lost. Have you run into this? Any advice for this?
Yes I have run into this - I personally am very active each day with my orders in my shop which helps with this.. So when I receive an order on two items (1 custom, 1 not) - I edit the order in Printify prior to submitting it for production.
Abouts SKUs... we have to change every single SKU if it's a T-shirt design, right? Do we blank them all or put a word or something? Videos I've seen with personalization either show one product like yours or don't talk about SKU issues but magically it is supposed to work... which I think is wrong.
For custom products, I typically leave the sku blank so that it shows up in the Other Orders tab in Printify. This allows me to manually add in my custom design to fulfill the order with no issues. For a more automated approach, I have started integrating my custom designs with HelloCustom, with this way of doing it you would leave the SKU for the product and upload the same custom design into Printify as you do HelloCustom and that software will actually modify the design for you.
Yes, you can fully edit any order prior to it beginning production. I keep my orders on manual approval so I can always make any modifications prior to sending to production. It’s incredibly seamless.
I ALWAYS go back to the old version. Don't like the new one, at all. "Personalization is Optional" really messes up the listing. It's hard for the buyer to see what they need to do.
@@TaylorPOD A customer wanting you to add an image they provide to an item for personalization. Like their dog's photo put on a blanket or pillow. How do you do that in Etsy? Do you need a separate app?
@@Tawny593 I just would have the customer send the photo through Etsy messages! I would explain this process in the listing photos as well as in the personalization box so that they understand the entire process. :)
@ Hi Taylor, if i go the the listing in etsy i see “SKUs vary for each Colors and Sizes” so i would have to delete the SKU’s of all the colors and sizes one by one or no?

How do you personalize with photos on Etsy using Printify?
Like a customer sending you a photo for an item? Is that what you mean?
@@TaylorPOD A customer wanting you to add an image they provide to an item for personalization. Like their dog's photo put on a blanket or pillow. How do you do that in Etsy? Do you need a separate app?
@@Tawny593 I just would have the customer send the photo through Etsy messages! I would explain this process in the listing photos as well as in the personalization box so that they understand the entire process. :)
@@TaylorPOD Thank you.
Omg omg .... My face at the end when I found out you can copy the Etsy listings...omg😮🙃👀
Hahahaha yes!
Heellooo ❤️
hey hey heyyyyy
I still use the old version too. The new version doesn’t allow me to
View or change postage etc. I’m also a creature of comfort 😂
I feel this lol. I am also a creature of comfort 😂
I’ve been doing pod for a month. I quickly found and followed you. I think because I’m so new the Etsy new version is easy for me.
Yay! That’s so exciting!! Glad you’re here.
I thought I was the only one who used both kittl and Canva
I love them both for different reasons 😊
There is no way to delete sku am I doing something wrong
Well i guess its updated now that’s why it’s not possible anymore
You delete the SKU out of your Etsy listing, not on Printify. It’s still possible to do this on Etsy ☺️
@ Hi Taylor, if i go the the listing in etsy i see “SKUs vary for each Colors and Sizes” so i would have to delete the SKU’s of all the colors and sizes one by one or no?
I enjoy watching your content, but you might want to think about investing in a mic 🎤
Thanks for the tip! I do have a mic. I’m not sure how to set it up different for it to work better. I’ll do some research 😊
hi. o.o
Hiiiiiii
