what's up guys Ryan here today I wanted
to walk you through how to integrate
Etsy with your printful account now if
you're not familiar with printful it is
a print-on-demand production partner
meaning when we make sales for our
print-on-demand products they will
integrate with whatever ecommerce
website or personal website we're
running and automatically download the
orders and fulfill them for us it's
amazing it is truly as good as it sounds
the best part we don't even have to pay
a monthly fee now printful has some
competitors most of which that I've seen
want you to pay a monthly fee it's
either you know sometimes required like
your bubble or with printf I a very
similar sounding company but different
they will charge you a monthly fee to
get a better rate on the products that
you pretty much have to pay to be
competitive anyways I'm gonna walk you
through how to sell on Etsy using
printful and real quick I just wanted to
show you that Etsy has made this
information public in 2017 they had over
31 million shoppers in 2018 they had
over 37 million shoppers which was a 17%
increase year over a year also if you're
wondering their stock is doing quite
well as you can see here if you bought
in in early 2018 May 2018 you would have
more than doubled your money now so the
stock price reflects their growth
alright guys so connecting printful to
Etsy is a one-time process you do it
once you set it and forget it so let's
get to it first I just wanted to share
with you why you can trust me so I took
this screenshot when I wrote this
article earlier this week I have 1954
sales on my primary Etsy store I've been
on Etsy since 2017 and I have a hundred
and thirty three customer feedback all
five-star and I'm fulfilling 98% of my
Etsy orders through printful so the
five-star review average rating after
133 sales is very indicative of how
happy my customers are with my customer
service my designs and printful you know
printful is worth at least 33 percent of
that pie because they're the ones doing
the fulfillment of these orders and
sourcing the products that my designs
are printed on all right step one you
need to open your free print full
account now guys the reason I'm walking
you through my blog with screenshots
instead of doing it for real is that
Etsy is pretty touchy with multiple IP
addresses and I do have a I have a
dedicated IP that I bought through a VPN
that I used to run a second Etsy shop
mainly for demos but because it's
already integrated I don't want to go
through the process again and risk
messing it up so I'm just gonna go
through the screenshots that I took of
the entire process it will get you
through it just the same so first things
first open a printful account it's free
no monthly fees printful is amazing i
got a link right here in the description
you will not regret it you'll remember
this day when you signed up for printful
step 2 open your Etsy shop again I got a
link right here for you if you go to
Etsy com there's a link in the top right
that says sell on Etsy you can just
click that and then click open your shop
go through the whole prompt it's gonna
take you a couple minutes just pause the
video come back when that's done once
your Etsy seller account is set up
you're going to need to go in and set up
your new shop now really quickly I have
an entire article that goes very
in-depth about how to start an Etsy shop
not just do the bare minimum but start a
very professional looking at see shop
and if you're new to my channel you I
guess don't know that I'm very thorough
I walk you through not just fill this
out fill that out I go through
everything including like websites I
recommend to you to go get nice-looking
stock photos and banner photos so that
you really have an Etsy shop that has
that like homemade touch it's really
that handmade homemade warm fuzzy
feeling so check this article out
another one that I will put right here
in the description it'll get your Etsy
shop up running and looking great
completely free once you have your shop
set up and looking good
you're gonna need to create your first
listing before we can get the
integration with printful done so on the
left hand side under your shop manager
click listings and then in the top right
corner click Add listing so right here
I've highlighted basically
all the required fields for you to
create your first listing the one thing
worth mentioning guys is that this first
listing that you create it really
doesn't need to be like a real product
you can just do the minimum call it the
test product or maybe don't call it the
test product cuz I don't know if that
will flag it set off a flag in Etsy but
this doesn't have to be a real product
this is literally just so you can get
the printful etsy integration going and
you can start adding the real products
so this one do whatever you want you
could just go download a t-shirt image
off Google do the bare minimum get it
posted to Etsy when you publish it it's
gonna cost you 20 cents once it's live
we'll get the integration going and then
you can delete this product if you want
to this is just a requirement to go
through the integration so do the bare
minimum here for creating your first
listing once it's published again you'll
be billed 20 cents actually before it's
published you may want to just do this
while you're on the listing screen you
could also do it afterwards but you want
to add a production partner the reason
you do this Otzi requires it if you're
gonna sell print-on-demand products on
their marketplace so we obviously want
to add printful right here what i've
done is walk you through the process i
also include this on that other article
that i walk you through setting up your
Etsy shop but basically you're going to
set printful as your production partner
location Chatsworth California they do
have other warehouses but this is their
primary for fulfilling orders to the
United States so just go ahead and leave
that and then about production partner
this is just some you know kind of dummy
text you can change it up you can use it
whatever you want I put I couldn't
function without printful in their role
as a production partner they print pack
and ship out orders from their
California production and fulfillment
center allowing me to focus on what I'm
best at designing top-notch products
that my customers will love see it's
that that fits the Etsy desirable seller
profile and by the way Etsy is known for
closing seller accounts for no reason
they do it quite often so you don't want
to skip any steps guys I should have
mentioned that probably up front do not
mess around on Etsy they are way more
strict about who they let in to sell in
their marketplace all right oh yeah
about your partnership at the bottom I
don't have the technical ability or
equipment to make the products I design
everything myself
and they do everything for me so make
sure you set those up and then save that
as your production partner then when you
create your print-on-demand listings
that you want peripheral fulfill that
you'll set them as your production
partner all right now navigate over to
printful this is where the magic happens
now that we've fulfilled all the
prerequisites so click stores and then
click Etsy so you're gonna hit in
printful stores I don't think it's
connect to platform and then connect to
Etsy this will take you to a page on
Etsy calm all you have to do is hit
allow access so you click the allow
access button and that is it this will
kick off the product sync so you'll have
to wait a minute - maybe longer it's
basically going to download all the
product listing information from your
Etsy store you'll see a little animated
jiff
showing that it's working eventually it
will finish if you followed my
recommendation and only have the one
listing in there then you'll see that in
printful once it finishes downloading
you'll also notice that it says not
synced and I highlighted that in this
image in yellow you can choose if you
when you created your first product if
it is a product that you want printful
to fulfill you can set up that sync
right here by hitting the edit button
I'm not gonna walk you through doing
that because it's just not to me it's
not worth the time it cost you 20 cents
I would just go back in and delete that
listing and then now whenever you want
to add products to printful you can just
hit the add product button right here
and it will take you through print Foles
product creation wizard which is
incredibly easy to use I've done
additional posts about how to create
products on print for walking you
through it I guess you know what I can
go ahead and put another link in the
description basically I'm gonna tie this
video into a mini course walking through
the Etsy printful integration and
getting you started on the right foot
when you launch your Etsy shop so stay
tuned for that my goal is to have it
done within the next week so if you guys
