Jeff, this video tutorial was crazy helpful. There’s no one in You Tube explaining exactly how to update a personalized order in Printify. Thank you for showing us the way!
Jeff!!!! Let’s just say you blow Printify’s chat away. I hate chatting with them because it’s a lot of back and forth and after about 30 mins. Into the chat I’m still scratching my head and even forget what I initially asked them to begin with lol. You have been my GO TO RUclipsR to answer all of my questions. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain EVERYTHING. You are truly the most accurate and detailed person to help with print on demand products.
awesome video. after watching numerous videos about this very topic, and YOU explained it step be step and very detail. i'm glad you also explain the two methods of personalizing the item. thank you and i will surely look forward to viewing more of your videos.
Thank you for making this video! As others have said, it took me days to finally find answers to my questions about doing these custom orders in Printify!
What a wonderful job breaking this down! You are amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything step by step. Very impressed. Wishing you all the best! Keep up the great work!
@@PODinsights I appreciate all that you do! It really helped me to fine tune my listings. Again you have a wonderful process. Thanks again have a wonderful night. And thanks for taking the time to share your gratitude.
Jeff, Thank you so much for the video, I just opened my Etsy shop and am planning on doing customized items. What is the difference between creating the listing on Printify first Vs creating the listing on Etsy first? some videos show these two options but it's unclear what would be best to do. Thank you again for taking the time to put these videos together for the newbies, Blessings!
This was so helpful, thank you! In particular I had been wondering about being able to 're-use' the same 'duplicate/draft' item for all personalised orders for that product. I only sell personalized items and didn't want to have pages of pages of unpublished products for every single personalised order. So it's great to know that I can just re-use the same draft item and just change the file attached to it for each order. This was very clear from your video, thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! You only really need to create separate drafts to personalize if you get multiple orders that need to be submitted at the same time, otherwise you're free to re-use!
Watching this a year later and this video has saved my butt. lol I thought I would have to cancel an order and redo, but this video is gold! THANK YOU!
Thanks so much. I’m new and started just a few months ago with another provider but they have had many stock problems & I’m changing over to Printify and I have personalized items that I need to change over and was worried as to how it would work. Thanks again.
Wow! Awesome! Thank you so much for going step by step. I wanted to do personalization but it seemed a bit much. You made it seem so simple. This was very helpful.
Hey Jeff, thank you for your videos they help a lot! I ran into a problem with this on printify. So I copied my original listing edited the copy saved it to draft and added it to the customers orders, where the problem came in is I get a lot of personalized orders so I was editing the edited file everytime and adding the updated edited listing to my customers one by one making sure the name matched with what they ordered. The print provider ended up messing up 9 of my orders and sending the customers the wrong names and printify would not help. So now I do separate edited listings for each customer.
Hi! That definitely is one downside to Printify not having a dedicated workflow for personalized orders. I also keep separate drafts for personalized orders and avoid reusing one until the previous order has shipped, so I end up with a good number sitting around too.
Great explanation video! One question, is there a particular POD supplier that people tend to use more than others strictly for easy customer personalization, so the customers can upload images or text?
Great job! Does Printify know what you are doing? They should use your videos on "How To?" section. Thanks so much! It was really helpful. PS: First time I saw you without cap :) totally different person lol
I think I found an easier way but maybe not...I just removed all of the skus when I publish through printify so the orders just go to other orders then you just choose the product when you do the order.
Thank you so much for this great explanation! Question: When you get to the billing portion, is the customer's billing info already filled out or do I have to use my credit card for the customer's order?
Hi! The customer's information does come through on the order on Printify but it is just the shipping address/contact info because Printify does not receive any funds from Etsy. The order fulfillment costs are covered by your Printify account balance or the payment method you have on file. I hope that helps!
hi Jeff, once again you make you lessons so clear and step by step thank you!! I'm new, since we work with both Etsy and Printify, when an order comes in do you check everyday Etsy or Printify under "orders"? which is your "hub" to keep eye on your sales each day? Printify I imagine since the orders are being processed there and then just Esty to check emails or questions directly from the customer, I'm i correct? in short where to you look all the time for incoming orders. i didn't catch where do you know you have a "personalized order" how and where does it show up when and what they type in ? thanks so kindly, You're SUCH a brilliant teacher, very grateful each video...btw love your podcasts too super duper! :>)
Hi! The personalization requested by the customer shows on the Etsy order record. In your seller dashboard on the orders page, personalized items have a grey "personalizable" tag on them to help them stand out. The actual personalization entered by the customer shows under all the product variant details in the order. It does not come through on Printify so you need to get the personalization from the Etsy order info. I actually use my Etsy shop email (I use gmail) as the first place to monitor order information. The order info that comes through on email notifications does include the personalization. And more importantly, if the customer submitted a "note to seller" with the order it also shows in the email. I always look at the email first to see if it was a personalized item and if the customer attached a note that I need to respond to. If they sent me a separate message the email notification will also be there. After that, I go to Printify to review the order and submit it after doing the personalization. I only go to the order on Etsy right away if I need to respond to a message. Thanks for your support!
This is an awesome video. I hope you still answer questions. Is it possible to create the product on Etsy and not link to Printify and then just create an order in Printify when you get them?
Can you help me understand what you're unsure about? You definitely can edit SKUs on your listings, but if they don't match with a product in your Printify catalog then they will go into your "Other Orders" tab like you mentioned. But that won't save you time when selling personalized products because you still have to manually import the order and match it up to a product variant after creating the personalized design/product.
As I’m watching.., we could leave the mock-up blank and maybe just edit the name in photoshop and just add the name as an overlay to the original graphic!
What provider what you recommend to use? For example, if someone is from the UK selling on Etsy, do you recommend someone using a provider from the UK?
Hi! You don't have to do anything specific with your product variants to offer personalization. The customer will be able to select the color/size variants through the same drop-down menu on the listing page and then the personalization box will be separate for them to enter what they would like. It comes through on the order like a free-form text field separate from the size/color information. I hope that helps!
Great info! Is there a way to personalize with photos? Say a customer submits a photo they want on a product rather than text, is there an easy quick way to do this?
Hi! Unfortunately Etsy doesn't have an automated way to collect the photo from the customer, but you can offer this by having them attach their photo to a message. So you would just need to put the instructions in your listing to send a message with the image attached after checkout. It will increase the likelihood of having to "chase" the customer if they forget to send the photo since it's not part of the checkout process, but it certainly can be done.
I'm surprised they make you do the personalization instead of having the customer do it like Vistaprint does...... Also, thank s for showing how the process works. I have been following Joe Robert but he never shows how it's actually done and his content usually falls short on details. I can already tell your videos are going to be much better.
Thank you so much! Funny you should mention that, the print on demand platform Gelato actually has a pretty cool personalization automation feature now that has the customer make their own personalization - but it happens after they place the order so it's still not directly on Etsy. I made a video about it if you want to check it out. Thanks for your support! ruclips.net/video/Mur04udg0fE/видео.html
Finally I found someone who shows how to do it and not only talks about doing it.
that's how it is, you only get short videos or texts from printify and you don't understand anything
I agree --- watched several others who did not go into it with as much detail as I knew i needed... This was perfect... Thanks!
@@yorkiepuppykisses agree
I know I'm commenting a year after this video was posted but I am so appreciative of the clear and simple explanation! Thanks you and best to all!

Glad it was helpful!

Sure I can add that to my list! Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you for the video! How can I finish the order if the same customer wants 3 different designs with this mug?
This is an awesome video. I hope you still answer questions. Is it possible to create the product on Etsy and not link to Printify and then just create an order in Printify when you get them?
Not sure about this. I just read you can add a custom sku to it, then it goes into the Orders/Other tab.
Can you help me understand what you're unsure about? You definitely can edit SKUs on your listings, but if they don't match with a product in your Printify catalog then they will go into your "Other Orders" tab like you mentioned.

Thankyou
As I’m watching.., we could leave the mock-up blank and maybe just edit the name in photoshop and just add the name as an overlay to the original graphic!
You certainly can have the name as a separate file that you overlay so you don't have to re-upload a new full design each time, that is a good point!
Thank you! :)
very helpful thank you
Great video!! What about using custom fonts in Printify? I have installed them as Windows fonts but I don't see them in Printify.
On Printify you cannot currently upload your own fonts, you can only use the ones that Printify offers if you are using the text feature in a design.
What provider what you recommend to use? For example, if someone is from the UK selling on Etsy, do you recommend someone using a provider from the UK?
On the Etsy side of this I know you turn personalization on but do you have to go in and add varations for every size and color?
Hi! You don't have to do anything specific with your product variants to offer personalization. The customer will be able to select the color/size variants through the same drop-down menu on the listing page and then the personalization box will be separate for them to enter what they would like.
