Did you know you can sell your Printful products on Spotify?
Hello, It’s Michael from Printful.
In this video, I’ll show you how to sell merch on Spotify through your Shopify store.
If you’re an artist or podcast creator, and you’re looking to sell your merch on
Spotify, then this video is for you.
I’ll talk about what you need to get started, how to connect your Shopify store to Spotify,
and how to showcase your Printful products on your Spotify artist profile.
Before we start, let’s quickly go over what Spotify is, how it works with Shopify and
Printful, and why it’s a good choice to sell products on.
What is Spotify?
Spotify is a music streaming platform where users can listen to music and podcasts from
their favorite artists and creators.
How do people make money on Spotify?
Creators typically earn around $0.004 per stream on Spotify for Artists.
So to make $100, you need 25,000 people to listen to your song or podcast.
But, if you’re selling merch, you only need five fans to buy a $20 t-shirt on your Shopify
store to make the same amount.
The integration between Spotify for Artists, your Shopify store, and Printful is seamless.
Everything is automated to speed up the process, from receiving the order to printing and mailing
products.
Plus, fans will never know that someone else is taking care of the creation and shipping
of their purchase, as there’s no Printful branding on any of the products.
We’re a white-label company, which means that all of the logos, graphics, and designs
are yours alone.
Keep in mind, that for now you’ll only be able to sell directly through Spotify to your
audience in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA.
Signing up with Printful and Shopify
To get started, you’ll need a Printful account to create products and a Shopify account to
sell them.
If you don’t already have a Shopify or a Printful account, check out our video, Getting
started with Printful and Shopify Tutorial.
In this video, you’ll learn how to create a store with Shopify, connect your store with
Printful, create products, and publish your products in your Shopify store.
I’ll leave a link in the description for you to check it out.
Once you have your Shopify store and active Printful products, you can now connect your
Shopify account to Spotify.
Connecting Spotify to Shopify
To connect your Shopify store to Spotify for Artists, go to your Spotify artists profile,
and click the Merch tab in your Spotify for Artists dashboard.
Click Log In To Shopify.
From there, you’ll be able to enter your store URL and click Link Shop.
A login popup for your Shopify account will appear, where you can enter your details.
You’ll then be prompted to add a sales channel.
Accept the terms and conditions, then choose the Spotify artist profile that you want to
link your shop to.
Your Shopify store is now connected to Spotify.
Next, let’s go over how to display your products on your Spotify artist profile.
Displaying Merch on Spotify
After you connect Spotify to your Shopify account, your Shopify products won’t automatically
display on Spotify.
You can sync up to 250 products to your Spotify account, and you’ll be able to list 3 products
at a time in the Merch section on your artist profile.
If you add a new product to your Shopify store, you’ll have to publish it to Spotify through
your Shopify account.
You can manage products that are synced to Spotify from the Spotify for Artist app in
your Shopify dashboard.
In the top section, select Manage availability.
On this page, you can select the product you want to sync to Spotify.
Keep in mind that when you add new products, you’ll have to come here to publish them.
Simply check the box and click Save.
Once you’re done, head over to your Spotify profile, and go to MERCH.
The section Your Shopify shop displays the products you can select to sell on your public
Spotify profile.
You’ll be able to add up to 3.
Below that, you’ll see the products synced from Shopify.
Below each product, you’ll see an Add to shop button.
Now, make your selection.
Notice how the products update in the section above.
Once you’re done, open your page through the Spotify listening app to see the changes.
Congrats, your products are now live on your Spotify shop!
It’s time to promote your merch to fans.
Now you know everything you need to start selling your custom merch on Spotify.
And that’s it!
