Hey, it's Noni from Printful!
Let me show you how to connect your Ecwid store to Printful.
Ecwid is an online platform that lets you create your online store or start selling
on your already existing website simply by embedding your Ecwid store into it.
You can also simultaneously sell on multiple platforms, marketplaces and social sites.
Note that, to use Printful with Ecwid – you need to be on the Ecwid Venture, Business
or Unlimited plan.
We'll go through the steps of connecting both platforms, adding products, and setting up
shipping.
Connecting to Ecwid
Before connecting both platforms – you'll need to create accounts on both.
So, if you're not yet a Printful user, go to our website and create your free account.
Then do the same with Ecwid.
Make sure to complete the sign-up process for both platforms so you’d be able to connect
them!
When that’s done - head over to your Printful account and click on Stores.
Click on Choose Platform and select Ecwid.
Now you’re taken to the Ecwid app store's Printful app page.
Now follow the steps here to connect your Printful account to Ecwid!
Once installed, you'll be asked to log into your Printful account and confirm the connection.
And with that, your store is connected.
Every Ecwid store comes with existing demo products so it’s easier to preview what
your store will look like.
These get imported to your Printful account when you connect both accounts.
These demo products will show as not synced.
In the Printful app on Ecwid you can click on the box next to them and select "Ignored".
If you have any other products you sell but don’t fulfill through Printful, you can
mark them as ignored as well.
Now you can start adding products directly from Printful to your Ecwid store with our
Product Push Generator.
To start – hit Add product and choose the product you want to add.
For this tutorial, I'll choose a Men's T-shirt as an example and use the printing technique.
You can also use the embroidery technique and can learn more about that in our video
about it, which can be found in the description below.
You can also pick the color and size for the shirts that you’ll be offering.
Next – create your design.
This product supports multiple print placement options, so you can choose where you want
your design to go.
For this example, I’ll go with this one.
You can create a design using our text and clip art tools.
With them you can add multiple layers of shapes, cliparts and text elements, adjust their colors,
positions or even create patterns right in our generator!
There’s also an option of picking one of our quick designs that you can edit.
Or you can upload your own design or pick one of our sample designs.
Now you can resize and reposition your print file.
Make sure to follow the print quality information here for the best results.
Now, proceed to mockups.
Here you can choose the type of product photos you want to show on your store.
For this product we have many mockup image options, but, for this example, I’ll go
with this one.
Here you can change your product title and description.
As you can see, we already provide the basic product info but be sure to customize it when
adding your product since it can improve your sales and SEO results.
You can learn more about what SEO is and why it’s important for an ecommerce store in
our video lesson on that.
I’ll leave a link to it in the description.
For this example, I'll leave it as it is.
In this step you also have the option to publish a size guide on your storefront in either
the Imperial or Metric system.
Once that's done, proceed to pricing.
Here you can set your product price to a price that’ll be both attractive and profitable to you.
You can see Printful's fulfillment price here.
And then set up your profit here.
For example, I want the profit of this shirt to be $5 so I set that here.
As you can see the price adjusts automatically.
For some extra help with setting prices for print-on-demand products, check out our video
on that . I’ll link it in the description.
Wait for the product to load and – here, now you can see how it will look in your store
for your customers!
There are two shipping options that you can set up for your Printful products on Ecwid
– flat shipping rates you calculate yourself, or live shipping rates that Printful calculates
for you.
Live shipping rates are calculated by the exact weight and the destination of the order.
And the shipping method/rate is selected by your customer on the checkout page of your
store.
To enable Printful’s Live Shipping rates, all you’ve need to do is go to Catalog on
the Ecwid dashboard, and, in the Printful app, click the Settings link.
Click on the Shipping tab here.
And select Enable Printful’s live shipping rates for Ecwid.
If you want to learn more about shipping, you can check out our video on the topic linked
in the description.
And that’s it!
Now your Ecwid store is connected with Printful!
