Product management
Once you’ve connected the platforms, you can add products to your Etsy shop from the Printify catalog.
Product creation on Printify
Let’s choose one of the Printify products. We chose a mug to illustrate the process.
Manufacturer selection
We choose the company that will print the mug based on the country, i.e., the address of our store.
For EU countries, the above option will be acceptable because the manufacturer is from the EU.
The production cost will be 9.47 USD and shipping will be 5.79 USD.
If you mistakenly specify the manufacturer below (US manufacturer), the production will be cheaper, but the shipping fee to EU countries will be 15.99USD.
Product customization
Here we start with product customization.
As soon as you have selected a manufacturer, the product editing panel will open.
You can upload the image you want on the mug using “Upload” or if you have previously uploaded it, find it under the “My library” option.
Once you have uploaded the image to the object, you need to resize it so that it does not go outside the dotted lines.
We uploaded the image twice so that it could be seen from both the inside and the outside.
As you can see, on the bottom side of the panel is a graphic representation of where the image is located on the cup.
If desired, you can also place just one image that will be visible only in the middle of the cup.
3D product view
There is also a 3D preview at the bottom of the editing panel to get a look at the finished product.
We can rotate this review.
Classic view
On the right side of the panel, the product will be displayed in several different positions, including an angled view as well as a contextual view (for example, on a table or some surface).
We recommend that you select the (Realistic CMYK) option in the options as it will display the color shade on the finished product.
When you are satisfied with the appearance, you must store the product.
Product finish
After saving the product, you will need to specify the images you want to accompany it.
Mockups are ready-made images that will display your product.
You can choose one or more of them as desired.
For such a simple subject, no more pictures are needed.
For the Etsy web store, the rule is that you can select up to a maximum of 10 different images per product.
Listing details
Under the Listing details option, enter the product title, product description, and tags.
We can leave the description as it is now and change it later on Etsy.
But since we have the Generate with AI option here, it’s better to let artificial intelligence write this for us.
Writing product descriptions with AI
All you have to do is enter which product you want a description for and what the image on it represents.
Everything else will be done by AI that is specifically tailored to the product description.
If we are satisfied with the description, click Apply to listing.
This AI assistant will do an excellent job of describing it in English.
Product publishing
The product price will be automatically generated and increased by the amount you defined when creating your Printify profile.
The commission you pay when selling on your Etsy shop will also be included.
All data, including title, description, and tags, will be uploaded to Etsy.
These options can be enabled as needed under the Sync product details option.
If all options are selected, the complete product will appear on the Etsy shop with images, title, description, sizes, and tags.
The SKU number you set on your web stores will be automatically generated.
We publish the product by clicking the “Publish” button.
Posting a Finished Product on Etsy
The finished product will be visible within ten minutes.
Any changes you make on the Printify platform will also be visible on the Etsy web store.
