What the Printful app does
- Imports your Printful products with their variants, mockups, prices and SKUs. It runs again every day, so changes in Printful reach your store within a day.
- Sends paid orders to Printful, either as drafts for you to confirm or straight into production.
- Brings tracking back. When Printful ships, the order is marked shipped and your customer gets the tracking number.
It syncs every 15 minutes, and orders are never sent twice. You pay Printful directly for each order it makes, at its own prices.
Make a Printful token
- In the Printful developer portal, go to Tokens > Add new token.
- Under Access level, choose A single store and pick the store you sell from.
- Under Scopes, tick View store products and View and manage orders of the authorized store.
- Copy the access key when it's shown. Printful only shows it once.
Connect Printful
- In your Zepsell dashboard, open your store, go to Apps, open Printful and press Install.
- Paste the token into Printful private token. Only fill in Printful store ID if the token can reach more than one Printful store.
- Leave Import my Printful products now ticked. Tick Also send paid orders from the last 14 days if you want recent orders sent too. Otherwise only new orders are sent.
- Press Connect Printful. The page shows the import as it runs.
Your store needs a delivery option for physical products before shoppers can check out Printful items. A flat rate is fine. Add one in your store admin under Settings > Locations & Shipping. Printful's own shipping is charged to you.
Drafts or straight to production
Tick Send paid orders to Printful and bring tracking back, then choose how New orders go to Printful:
- Drafts (the default): you check each one and confirm it in Printful. Nothing is made or charged until you do.
- Confirmed: orders go straight into production, and Printful charges you for them as for any confirmed order.
Only the Printful products in an order are sent. You send anything else yourself. Unpaid orders wait until they're paid.
Things to know
- Printful makes to order, so no stock is counted for its products.
- Your Printful store's currency must match your Zepsell store's main currency. Change it in Printful's store settings if needed, then import again.
- A product only comes across once its variants have print files in Printful.
- Cancelling an order in Zepsell doesn't cancel it in Printful. Delete the draft or cancel the order in Printful too, so it isn't made.
- For some countries Printful needs the state or province code in the address.
Disconnect Printful
Press Disconnect under Disconnect Printful. Zepsell stops sending orders and bringing tracking back. Orders already in Printful stay there, and imported products stay in your store.
Questions
Will importing again make duplicate products?
No. Importing again updates the products it brought in before. Products removed from Printful are hidden in your store.
