Etsy Print On Demand Shipping Profiles Tutorial 💻 PRINTFUL & PRINTIFY

[@vanessatsai5109]

This is where I got stuck, the shipping cost setting for international & national, these little details are really helpful and worth paying attention to from the start, I am so grateful to see your video. Thank you.

[@violetgypsie]

You just earned a subscriber. The shipping options and which countries to ship to was driving me cray-cray on Etsy. Thank you so very much for sorting this out for me.

[@BenSmithSideHustles]

Love it! Thanks so much for the comment and for subscribing! Much appreciated!

[@missygordon]

I have searched every forum for this kind of clarity on shipping profiles. You're a lifesaver!

[@terrys385]

How do you get the tracking number to complete the order if your using print on demand? I have an order that is still incomplete because I don't have a tracking number.

[@DaleHitchcox]

Hi Ben. Thanks for the video! Very helpful! I could use chapter markers.

[@julijuls7271]

Very helpful, thanks. I was getting confused about how it creates new shipping profiles and if I had to use those for printify.

[@Omu68]

Fantastic. I was on the verge of giving up when I stumbled across this thank you so much.

[@fazeelxart]

i did the exact same process and i got my first order, i go in the orders section in etsy and its asking me to print labels :/ no idea what i did wrong. watched the video multiple times. any help?

[@coleenencarnacion9271]

Thank you so much, Ben. This is so helpful. I was so scared to open my first Etsy store because I am not very technical but your video is very easy to follow along and your advice helped me out a lot.

[@ciitgo]

how's your store going?

I JUST SUBSCRIBED....YEAAAA!!! Such Awesome Information, thanks sooo much Ben for sharing😀

[@Brenda-yk2vr]

Thanks Ben, this is the best tutorial video on shipping!!!

[@Gettin_chunky]

Best tutorial on the subject that I’ve found. Thanks bro

[@cm_lp]

That was super helpful! I didn't knew how to offer international shipping without losing money but you teached all of us how to do it in a very simple way! Thank you 😊

[@garryknight7889]

Thanks. I really appreciate what you’ve done. I’ve used other set up Videos and none of them show this. Thanks 🙏

[@magicisreal111]

Thank you so much! I was stuck on this detail when listing my items. Ya saved me.

[@carlahenson8260]

Thank you so much for all of the helpful information. If i do as you said, will Printify automatically put in the weight and size of the item when packaged? Im having a hard time with that. Thank you, again!

[@Livingintheozarkskd]

Thank you for explaining how this worked thank you. I did have one question well actually 2. When you are offering free shipping in the u.s. do you just look at how much that is to ship and mark up the cost of the product to absorb the shipping cost and the same with the Etsy fees. Thank you

[@BrianneWright-gc4ow]

I was coming to ask this! The shipping cost to Canada is double. If you set shipping as $5 you will be paying half the shipping

[@battlerudee]

Thankyou!!!! I was literally stressing trying to figure this out!

[@gabrielpavlov3288]

Before watching this video editing shipping information was pain in the ass!! Thank you so much for simplifying it like that!

Great breakdown!! I started awhile back and to postpone, now I’m back selling and ran across your other videos! I can’t wait to start now!

[@colinmelhuish1254]

Thanks for posting, so helpful. As with a lot of videos, always at break neck speed. Not sure if there is a time factor. As its a tutorial really need to slow down. to prevent stop rewind , repeat. Having said that have subscribed and will watch again and others you have linked.

[@mozartstudio18]

Where it asks for the original zip code, do you put in the other company’s? I’m using this photo printing place to drop ship my prints.

[@itsmehjesssicaa]

Same question

[@tonettekremer5680]

I'd also like to know

[@BenSmithSideHustles]

Yeah this is a bit confusing. When I did some digging on this a while back I ended up finding an article from Printful that stated to use Zip 91311 for this. Full transparency I'm not 100% positive that this is the best zip to use. May be worth a chat with Printful support!

[@PloughmansBackyard]

Thank you for this. What do you put when Etsy wants a weight and package size?

[@CatherineHaggerty]

Good information. My problem is I made a product that only ships FROM China and I am confused on how to fill out the profile for shipping TO the USA.

[@tom-king]

Thanks Ben, I have a pretty similar process. It can be complex. I've started incorporating the VAT Printify tacks on for some countries.

[@d.m.webb-benjamin3576]

Hi Ben, great video, definitely! Quick question though. Say Printful - given that they have printing facilities all around the world, doesn't that make shipping cost-effective automatically? How does it work once an order comes into Etsy. I'm in the UK. Say my friend in Australia orders a cup - does Printful automatically send the order to their Australian facility and ship from there? If that's the case - say I chose 'free shipping' right there and then in the Printful settings - I would hope that shipping cost will be at a minimum for all those countries that have Printful's printing facility in the area. Am I making sense?

[@Lev_elUp]

Very very to thanks 👍 for this detailed information, iam grateful to you

[@britannicace1258]

Thanks for this, useful to know. I was trying to calculate shipping to be included in price and not make a loss if purchased from afar! Makes sense now! Earned a sub!

[@BenSmithSideHustles]

Love it! Glad it helped and thanks for the sub! Let me know if any questions come up!

[@charlottehyatt9601]

This was super helpful to me! I am trying to open my store but the shipping profile stumped 🤔 me.

[@Relaxed9494]

Help me please, I'm trying to add a new listing and it's asking me for weight and length , I don't know them, I have printiful doing everything for me, it doesn't let me save setting to add listing on Etsy with our it!

[@kaitlynsmith1508]

Hey - Curious as to what you would input in the zip code requirement on the shipping profile? Especially when using printify?!

[@nayelli1764]

That’s what I came here to try and figure out 😭

[@AshleyThompson-j8l]

This was helpful! My only question still is after I set up these shipping profiles, let's say I didn't offer free shipping. So when a customer buys my product on etsy and pays for shipping on etsy as well. Will I be charged on printify for shipping as well? Or has that shipping cost been covered by the customer already? And if it has been handled already does Etsy then pay printify for the shipping costs when they send the order over? I just don't want the customer to pay for shipping, but then I also have to pay for shipping. Trying to avoid double paying and losing profits. And I can't seem to find a clear answer to this question anywhere. So if you have one that'd be amazing. Thanks!

[@carolward1142]

This is so incredibly helpful and untangled a host of unknowns re shipping. Thank you!!! :)

[@guyinsf]

I dont know what's going on with Printify but they're constantly increasing their shipping fee. I've only been using them for 6 months in conjunction with Etsy and already seen 2 shipping fee increases. Now I have to go into my Printify account and individually change the shipping price for over 100 listings? That's so much work!

[@hrsca595]

It's inflation and Oil Prices blame the presidents and The central banks 😂

[@janellewallace9338]

Thank you! A huge issue I have is that my etsy store is in Canada however printify bills and posts in USD. Makes sorting out shipping costs an extra mind boggler. My question to you from the video is if you set your profile to free shipping for the US, will you get the "free ship" green tag? Or is the green tag only related to the etsy free ship guarantee?

[@catherinek5361]

I just started with Printify and use multiple print providers. How does the printed cost get calculated if someone orders an item for two (or more) print providers.

[@gyogas]

Thank you for the video 🙏🏻 Very helpful!

[@laracartier770]

Etsy keeps asking me for an origin zip code. What do I use in regards to Printify?

[@umpphuslumphus5459]

@Javan Benoit i'm a little bit confused by your comments. You are saying that zip code should be the one of Printify. Etsy however is asking however "Where do you dispatch packages from?". Which in my understanding would be zipcode of your production partner as they support with shipping (for example Moster Digital / FYBY / etc.) Is my understanding incorrect? If so please provide me with reasoning.

[@BenSmithSideHustles]

Hey Lara! Copying this response from above "Yeah this is a bit confusing.

[@LatoyaAntonia_]

Thank you so much for the video... I Still have a question - if you offered free shipping in the US as opposed to Printify's UPS standard cost of shipping that it automatically generates - wouldn't it bump up the cost we retail at because they have to pay something for the shipping? Sorry still a little confused! Thank you so much

[@jeffreymiller6251]

Is there a video of how it currently works? Applying printful's shipping to other products on Etsy is an elusive option.

[@danazaruba268]

Hi Thanks for your video. I live in France and have a French bank account. I have just created my Etsy store here for POD products and its connected to Printful France in Euros. I want to ship everywhere, not just France but Printful asks you to name a production location so I listed Barcelona. I also plan on offering free shipping everywhere and building the shipping costs into my list price....but......here's where I get stuck. Say someone in Canada orders one of my tshirts. Will Printful make it in Spain and then ship it from there to Canada, or will the tshirt be made in Canada and shipped from Canada to the customer there? Same for the US. An American orders my wall art, does fulfillment automatically gets pushed to the nearest fullfillment center to the client? Will the shipping fees listed on Printful be the real shipping cost from Canada's fulfillment center to the customer there, or is the shipping cost still calculated from the fulfillment center in Barcelona? It really isn't at all clear on Printful's website and I haven't yet found a tutorial that addresses this clearly. Thanks for any help you can offer.

when you offer free shipping do you need to increase the price on printify or the shipping cost was already factored in cost of production by printfy?

Went I look at international shipping from printing it shows around 14-23 dollars for international...as per your example of a fixed rate of 4 $ in an internal shipping isn't that too low?

[@hrsca595]

Yeah he took a shortcut explanation, if your doing international shipping, probably better to leave the defaults that were there in the first place, and just set the us one to free shipping if you are selling from within US. Else you would have to create a listing for each country specifically and Jack up the prices for each country according to how much it costs to ship within that country, I think there's another Printify KZbinr that kind of explains things better

[@dosi6230]

umm does it mean, that you take less profit margin for the item that was purchased in US in the end?

[@AnthonyVickersSoulJahTYah]

Not sure if this is true but possible scenario .. girl on YT comment last year or so? said her boyfriend lunched his store and had over $10k in orders first month, he couldn't cover in his credit / bank card and most orders cancelled as POD supplier would not fulfil orders.

[@shangyhinoon]

Thanks Ben. Educational and useful, as always. So, do you have to pay up front for your shirts from printful before you get the money from Etsy? Also, how soon can you get the money from Etsy? I'm just think of a scary scenario where you fortunately sell 10 shirts on your first sale but you dont have $100 dollars to stump up the cost.

[@BenSmithSideHustles]

Hey Aaron thanks so much! In terms of payment, when a customer pays on etsy the money goes into the Etsy account and they pay out to your bank account or payment method normally once a week BUT you can request the funds sooner. Printify/Printful will charge you separately for the product cost. Hope that helps! So in theory it would be possible to run into a cash flow issue but if you think that may happen then request the funds to be disbursed from Etsy sooner! Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@BiancaAnne]

Thank you for your information! I have a question…is it possible to add free shipping included in my Etsy shop with print on demand (printify) for international as well? Ex: item is $5 and shipping is $11.50… instead I want to make item $16.50 which means free shipping… Can you please help me with that?

[@astrominc.2724]

Hey Ben, so I wanted to see if you can help me. I got an order yesterday of 4 candles and it's supposed to charge shipping but instead etsy gave the customer free shipping. I bought 1 candle for myself to try it out and it charged me 7.99 as it should but how come when she bought 4, it was free ship? It's really took a chunk out of my profit and I am lost.

[@localpainter330]

Great tutorial. I learned something new.

[@BenSmithSideHustles]

Hey thanks! I'm glad it was helpful. And in regards to your other question, I have been doing a blanket cost for international. So I try to average things out somewhere around $5 for T-shirts shipping internationally. While making this video I actually updated all of my listings as well! Let me know if any questions come up!

[@Shemene]

oky so if i do not charge shipping how do i work this out so that i actually make profit coz i cant charge too much for a t shirt and production costs plus shipping from the printing company may even cost what I sell the t-short for all together .

[@JeanYu]

Thanks for this video! By the way, I have tried using the Printful Free Shipping option and customized it in a way that it's free in the US and fixed shipping in other countries but there are instances wherein it automatically goes back to the default option wherein it free shipping for both US and other countries. Would you know what caused it to reset?

[@bellychic8]

This happens to me all the time too! Did you figure out why?

[@BenSmithSideHustles]

Ok yes! I literally just figured this out. When Printful publishes products it creates shipping templates of course. Let's say you publish 10 products then go edit the shipping profile. Then a week later you publish a few more products. When you do this it appears that Printful is updating the shipping profiles to the default that they configure your Etsy store with. What I've done to get around this is create my own shipping profile that is separate and then applied that to all of my listings. In this way you avoid having the profile get reset every time you publish new products. You just have to remember to go in and manually change the shipping template on new products to your new separate template! Hope this helps!
