[@barbarossa04]

Thank you for the awesome video Hannah. 11:03 I'm not sure if this part is needed, considering that ALL sales taxes are apparently collected by Etsy if Printify is used in combination with Etsy and / or Ebay. I have been searching for answers regarding this for a couple of days now and I found a comment by a gentleman named Brian underneath Printify's own taxes video (titled: Taxes 101: Everything You Need to Know for Your Online Store), stating that Printify's customer support confirmed with him that if one is strickly using Etsy or Ebay to sell their POD items on (and Printify and their partners to print the product and ship it) as long as the order is getting uploaded from Etsy to Printify that we as the seller will not be charged sales tax unless it is a manual order such as a smaple order etc.

[@ranaazizahramadhani5385]

hi guys i think i'm lost at the part where the payment to printify is upfront, is it that we need to pay from our account to printify once we have order and we will get money from our customer? i thought the financial transaction will be redirect to printify from our customer and we only receive the profit. thank you

[@CFKaine]

Thanks

[@gerardorosado464]

Thanks, for the video. Can you upload photos to printify to make tshirts as well?

[@kellum97]

I got it figured out in the end but I did something wrong in the middle and had to go fix a couple things. In Printify, should I select the option to keep it hidden? And when I did my first item it showed up as active, not as a draft. How do I fix these things going forward? This video was great to get me started!!!

[@yolaamz6015]

😍Thank you for this very comprehensive video. Can you tell me the difference between printify and printfull? which is more suitable? I'm new to POD. Thank you so much

[@hannahebeling]

I personally like that Printify has more options because they partner with many vendors. They also have some of the best pricing I've seen across most of their products. I've used both in the past but have switched over to Printify exclusively now.

[@lifestylewithsaba6755]

Very well explained, I am a big fan of u now, just subscribed yr channel. I have 3 questions to ask.1) What about the shipping details of customers ? Is it directly linked from etsy to printify or we have to put manually all the details. 2) In the location you have selected US , does printify has stores other than US as well so we can maximize the opportunity to other locations as well.3) for payments to printify and Etsy do we need same credit/debit card or for both platforms we can use different cards?

[@hannahebeling]

1. Customers give all shipping info and this goes directly to printify without you doing anything. 2. Printify offers many different countries. 3. You don't need the same payment method.

[@jenniferflores2333]

Hi Hannah! I am just starting out with Etsy/POD and your videos are SUPER helpful. I had a quick question...do you have a separate bank account/credit card specifically for your e-commerce shops? If so, is it a business account or personal banking? Is there a bank that you would recommend?? (I'm sorry in advance if you already have a video about this and I didn't see it yet!)

[@hannahebeling]

I haven’t done a video on this but it’s actually a great idea to. I think having a separate account is a good idea when your business starts to grow, but don’t let that hinder you from getting started. I started my accounts just linked to my personal bank when I began too. Everything can be switched later.

[@quietstorm3254]

@@hannahebeling thank you for answering this! I was wondering how to go about this too!

[@roxcastaneda]

Very good explanation. I just got scared about the amount of money Etsy will charge me before I get paid for my sales. I definitively do not have so much money and that is why I want to start with POD.

[@hannahebeling]

Hi. Great video. Thanks for sharing such useful info. However, I’m curious as I really want to sell on Etsy with printify too. Can I integrate printify on my Etsy if I’m from Philippines?

Thanks

Hey what is shirt is a customized shirt will there be option for that in etsy?thank you

[@annalizheart]

Do you try to sample the product yourself before selling to ensure quality? Love your videos

[@hannahebeling]

I think it’s great to, but after a while selling with Printify I really trust their quality and customer service so I would be comfortable listing a new product type before I have a chance to sell it. Also, there are tons of reviews out there on each product type, so don’t let that hold you back from getting started!

[@annalizheart]

@@hannahebeling thank you for your reply!

[@RebeccaBancarz]

Thank you for this video! Not sure if I missed this, but do you recommend testing out your items first to see how it’s packaged? & to see the quality before it’s shipped to a customer? Thanks for:)

[@hannahebeling]

Printify has the option to order samples of any of the items before hand, however, in most cases I don’t think this is necessary. If you want a better idea of quality of a certain item, you can always look up reviews on KZbin too.

[@RebeccaBancarz]

@@hannahebeling thank you for the idea! I’ll check them out :)

[@manonbourgeois3531]

This was fantastic. Now question for you. Do you pay the shipping on top of the fee for the t-shirt? Does this mean you make around 5$ profit on each T-shirt?

[@hannahebeling]

I typically have had better success charging the customer the postage fee.

[@user-di1vq9gj9o]

Thank you so much for your easy and informative tutorials. One thing no one really addresses too much, is selling between countries? I am based in Australia. To sell in Australia should I choose Australian print shops for quick postage? if so do I choose American printers for American buyers? I'm so confused and have asked many but no answers? if anyone could give me some advice It would be much appreciated.

[@EverydayEssentials18]

If you choose an AU-based POD supplier, the production time and shipping time would be optimized. I'm working with Merchize as they have factories in US and AU (and other countries) and very happy with their service. Their product base cost are quite reasonable too.

[@markedwards4787]

My only sticking point is an etsy name ;P, and business account set up.. and dealing with returns, lost items etc.. the latter seems daunting. I presume most sales go smoothly?

[@deslenejeffers7001]

Thank you Hannah. Are there any other platforms that don't require you to pay for the items yourself upfront?

[@hannahebeling]

Amazon merch, redbubble, teepublic and zazzle are good options.

[@HelmetVanga]

do you do your photo editing for Etsy first ? or you just jump in right into Printify and you do all photo editing there?

[@drucifer180]

How do you create the lettering, message that you are putting on the products? Is there a tool in Printify thay allows you to play with fonts/layouts/colors? If not what would you recommend using?

[@hannahebeling]

I mainly use Kittl to make my designs! All their info is linked in the description here.

[@jennywang6076]

What is the process like if a customer wants a return or exchange? Do they return to Printify? And how is the customer paid back?

[@randomddjjdjjdj]

Thanks for the video, I have one question. On Printify, when we get charged for an order, is it possible we ever lose money on a sale? How do we know how much we’ll be charged for each sale & how much we’ll make in profit? Also, what does Etsy charge us? If we sell a shirt for $20 for example, what % of that does Etsy and Printify take? And how much would we have to pay?

[@hannahebeling]

One of my favorite tools on Sale Samurai is their profit calculator. It gives the exact real amount you can expect to make. But, Etsy takes typically 6.5%, but there are often other fees as well. I like to price the items I sell on Etsy $8-10 more than what they cost on printify to make sure I make at least $5 on each sale.

So my question here is: How can I publish, for example, only 30 products on Etsy, but NOT the 300 t-shirts that I created on Printify. I want to be very choosy and limited considering that Etsy charges $ for each posting. Please kindly explain.

What's the best way to avoid copyright infringement? I assume I would be safe with text only, but are Printify's stock images free to the public to use and sell on their products (t-shirts, etc.)? Or do you avoid that by using multiple stock images and text, essentially creating an original design? Thank you!

@hannahebeling thank you for responding I greatly appreciate it. I find your videos very helpful. I am a dialysis patient and recently physically disabled to the point where I can no longer get up and go to work. That's hard for me because I was used to working 60 hours a week. I seen a lot of videos on how you can start making money selling T-shirts on Etsy and printify. No one ever tells you all of the details that it takes the time effort and research or even the money it's going to cost you. I almost gave up a few times. But I have a family of five to support so I'm all in. If you have any advice I would be incredibly grateful

[@haileyanderson7203]

So when someone orders on Etsy, you have to go to printify and do the order yourself on there? And then you just put their address in the shipping? I think I got a little confused on how the ordering works.

How do I get in touch with someone who can actually help me with SEO/keywords? I trusted what was said in your video. ANYONE?🤔😣

[@AllThingsCalvin]

So must you have a "legit business certificate" & such filed with the state before you set up your etsy/printify stores for sales tax purposes?

[@hannahebeling]

You can actually just sign up as an individual.

[@angelamaiyo2524]

Hi, I saw that printables is also a partner we can use that doesn't require me to be charged..what do you think?

[@hannahebeling]

I haven’t used them before, so I can’t attest to them. I’d be a little hesitant to use a company that doesn’t have as much name recognition because I wouldn’t want to risk returns on Etsy for quality, but they could be one to experiment with and see what you think.

[@PODlearner]

which one better, Printify or Prinful?

[@lynnlane9468]

When selling on Etsy did you have to go by envelopes to put the t shirt in to mail and what about stamps.

[@hannahebeling]

That's the nice thing about using printify, they take care of all this for you. You just upload the listings!
