Hey, it’s Wes from Printful!
Let me show you how to connect your Magento store to Printful.
We’ll go through connecting your store, adding products and setting up shipping.
Before connecting the two platforms, you’ll need to create an account on Printful
and set up your Magento store.
So, if you’re not yet a Printful user, go to our website, create your free account
and then head to Magento!
There’s a link for both in the description below.
CONNECTING TO MAGENTO
Once your Magento store is set up, head to your Printful account and go to “Stores”.
Click on “Choose platform” and select Magento.
Here you can find a guide on how to connect your store and download the Printful module
for Magento.
For that, just click here.
Then, using a FTP/SFTP software of your choice, open your Magento install directory.
Under the “app” directory here, I'm gonna create a “code” directory like this
and then upload the Printful module files here.
So again - upload the Printful module files under your Magento install directory/app/code.
Now, go to your Magento admin panel and under System choose the Web Setup Wizard.
Then click on the Module Manager over here.
On the module list, find the Printful module and choose to enable it by clicking over here.
You will need to go through three installation steps.
Step one is just a readiness check, click next over here and wait a bit.
Then click Next over here.
On step two, you can choose whether to backup the module or not.
For this example, I'll leave it as is.
Then click on Enable over here.
Then wait a little while for it to install.
Done!
Next, you need to go back to your main admin panel, choose System again and then - Integrations.
Now activate the Printful Integration by clicking here.
It will show you all of the API permissions you are giving right here.
Then click on Allow.
Wait a second…
Now you'll be redirected to Printful with the option to either create a new account
or connect to an existing one.
If you're logged in, you can connect the accounts without retyping your password
- just click here.
Now, wait a little bit for both platforms to connect... and all done, your Magento store
is now synced with Printful!
Now you can start adding products to your Magento store directly through our product
push generator.
ADDING PRODUCTS
To start adding products, go to your Printful account and under Stores choose your Magento store.
Next, click on "add product" and choose the product category and model from our selection.
For this tutorial, I'm choosing Men's clothing, "T-shirts'' and then I'll choose this model.
Next, create your design.
You can create a design using our text and clipart tools, our you can upload your own.
First, choose where you want the design to go.
Then, by clicking “upload file” you can choose a file to upload from your computer
or pick a design from our sample files, by clicking here.
I`ll choose this design.
Now you can resize and reposition your print file.
Make sure to follow along with the print quality information over here for best results.
Once that’s done, under the “Product” tab select the colors and sizes
you want to offer the t-shirt in.
And now hit “Proceed to mockups”.
Here you can choose the type of mockups you want to show on your store as product photos,
and you can also choose the image format over here.
Then hit “Proceed to descriptions”.
Here, add your product title.
We’ll name it “Printful t-shirt”.
You can also edit the product description in this field.
As you can see, we already have the basic product info provided, but be sure to customize
when you add new products to improve your sales and SEO results.
For this example, I’ll leave it as is.
You also have the option to publish a size guide on your storefront, either imperial
or metric.
I`ll leave these settings as they are.
Once that’s done, proceed to pricing.
Here you can decide on your profit and retail price.
You can see Printful’s fulfillment price here and then set up your profit here.
Once you set the profit, the retail price is adjusted automatically.
Make sure that the product visibility box is checked over here, and add this product
to any of your product categories here.
You also need to choose a tax rule.
Depending on where your end customer lives, Printful may charge tax on your orders, such
as Sales Tax in the US, or VAT in the EU.
You may also be liable to collect tax from your customers.
We recommend you consult a tax specialist on your specific situation.
You can set whatever Tax rules you want on Magento's side, by going to the Admin panel,
clicking on Stores in the side menu and then choosing Tax rules.
When you've set them up, you can choose them on Printful's side here.
Then hit “Submit to store”.
Wait a few seconds for the product to load.
Now if you go back to your Magento dashboard, Catalog and then Products tab -
you’ll see the product you just created.
Don’t forget to set up your billing information with Printful in order for your purchases
to go through.
To make it easier for you we have made “Setting up billing” video, you will find the link below.
SETTING UP SHIPPING
Next, we need to set up Shipping.
Note that only Printful's flat shipping rates are available for Magento - you can find all
the information on them on our Shipping page.
So for this example, I'll create a Flat rate in Magento.
In your Magento Admin sidebar, go to “Stores”.
Then under Settings, choose Configuration.
Now, find the Sales tab here and choose Shipping Methods.
Now open the Flat rate section.
Here you can set up the Flat rate as you see fit - you can either leave the default system
values here, or change them by unchecking the box here and adding what you want.
Just make sure that the Enabled option is set to Yes.
For this example, I'll just change the Price over here
and then leave everything else as is.
When you're done, click on Save Config .
And that’s it!
