GREAT content! Thank you so very much!

[@LindaBlatchford]

Love your use of the magic eraser. FYI, on Etsy, it's no longer allowed to use generic product mockups. Shop owners need to use Printify's mockups.

[@christina9841]

Yes... very confusing. Since Printify must have access to top people at Etsy, hopefully they could get us clear answers and settle this... if it's true we have to use Printify mocks, hopefully Printify could provide additional mockups that more flattering for the designs... I just finished switching all my mocks to Printify mocks, really concerned how customers will react, but hopefully if we have the design they are looking for the mock won't matter that much....

[@ButterflyMs7]

Oh wow! I'm glad I saw this comment before making a bunch! Thank you!

[@valyapan5644]

Thank youuuuuuuu, very nice tips :)

[@katheyjames9567]

I never thought of using the eraser for removing wrinkles. I tried it on a mockup I purchased that I loved but didn't notice the wrinkle (or hair) that was getting in the way of the design. It worked!!! thank you so much! I would love some tips on making video mockups as well.

[@mayrag6019]

So helpful, 5hank you!

[@ButterflyMs7]

This was actually amazing!!! Thank you!!

[@lnewman8414]

15:25 Thanks so much for the wrinkle remover trick. I would never have thought of that.

[@SmartPlanetKids]

Thanks for the content, very interesting. I personaly didnt know many things of you shown :) Thanks again

[@Printify]

Happy to help!

[@SpeedbirdHeavy]

Great tips for Shopify users, but some of these suggestions would fall foul of Etsy policy - particularly the AI ones.

[@fancyflamingoxo]

Exactly! This 100 % violates Etsys mockup policy.

[@VazgenHakobyan]

Thanks for video, please tell me how to put picture of a guy with t-shirt in printify?

[@Printify]

Hi there! Uploading your own mockups to Printify isn't possible just yet, however you can upload them to a listing directly from your sales channel.

[@kattalley1384]

Printify needs theor models to be doung something with their arms or hands. I recently added a product that i xoulnt find ant mockups for and had to use printify's mockups.

[@oakshadow5818]

Great tips! Should I reduce the opacity of the design if using Placeit as well?

[@Printify]

Hi there! Play around with it and see how it looks, the important thing is to get it to look as close to the real thing as possible.

[@ffdesigns7761]

Can you add a feature to Printify to apply a mockup template or templates of our choice to all products of a specific type automatically? This would save us time and let us focus on designing. A few years ago, Printify applied the Xmas tree mockup to all products with one keystroke, so a similar feature for user-defined templates would be great. In the age of AI, this should be a built-in feature in Printify, especially when creating numerous designs.

[@Printify]

That's a really neat idea! We'll pass that along to our developers and see what they make of it!

[@christina9841]

I'm so confused... I just spent the last couple days deleting all my mockups on Etsy and replacing them with Printify mockups because my understanding is that the Etsy handbook says we can only use mocks from our print provider....I just don't want to get in trouble with Etsy and really wish they'd give us a clear answer... if there is any way that Printify can help with getting us a clear answer, that would be so amazing. Also, if Etsy does require that we only use the mocks from our print providers, if there is any way that Printify could make up some mocks similar to the ones we see sold on Etsy.. using real photos of the real shirts in that sort of "Etsy asthetic" that would help so much. Thank you!!

[@Printify]

Hi there! So far as we know their policy is mainly directed towards ai generated mockups. Sellers can still use third party mockups however, as long as they are true representation of the item. To be safe and strive for realistic images we suggest ordering samples to create their own mockups, using Placeit, or modifying mockup templates that come with some of the Early Access products, which can be found on the product listing page.

[@christina9841]

@@Printify Thank you so much for the response! It is confusing because Etsy's seller handbook says we can't. use third party mockups.. but a few months ago, Brand Creators (a youtube channel) got a response from Etsy customer support saying that we could as long as it represents the real shirt and is not AI (as you were saying).. but recently another youtuber, Pam, got a response back from someone high up at Etsy which said we are not allowed to use third party mockups at all, just the ones from our print provider.. which all the suspensions and bans going on, I felt like it was best to delete all my mocks and make them all Printify mocks, just to be safe, but I do worry how this will effect sales... it is very confusing. Thank you so much for the response, I really appreciate it... hopefully Etsy will really make it very clear, very soon, either way.... PS I love your tutorials, they are great. I am going to start a Shopify store soon, too, so I will be able to use these tips there for sure. ❤

[@2Beavers]

Great video, thanks! There are two opinions on how often to create listings on Etsy: some say rapidly adding many listings benefits your shop, while others recommend posting one listing per day. Based on your experience, how often should you create listings on Etsy?

[@Printify]

Hi there! The Golden rule we'd recommend is to list often, and then to list some more!

[@2Beavers]

@@Printify Thank you for responding quick. Yes, that was what I thought. Great channel and products. Thanks again.

[@SpeedbirdHeavy]

@2Beavers ignore that rubbish advice. It's quality not quantity, market research and good SEO, that count on Etsy. Consistency, yes, but that can include working on your shop pages and policies. You definitely don't need to list every day or throw spaghetti at the wall.

Hey, printfy. Why button Turkey profile setting? Please, turkey button settings country

[@SpeedbirdHeavy]

Please translate, what does this mean?

[@SwedishRager]

hello! i have made a pop up store, do u guys ship and make the products??

[@Printify]

Hi there! Your products are fulfilled and shipped by the print provider you choose.

[@SwedishRager]

@@Printify so i just make a design and u do everything else???

[@SwedishRager]

@@Printify thanks!!

[@234cricketupdate]

I'm upload my product and they not hit

[@alisonturner9654]

I have a Pro account, but do not have Magic Media listed in my apps - why is this?

[@Printify]

Hey! Have you installed if from the apps? You may need to search for it first and install. If it's still not showing up, we suggest reaching out to Canva support. :)

[@personalguntrainer]

Etsy will shut your shop down if you do not have the exact t-shirt our product being sold. Not something that looks like it. Please be aware of this.

[@_myinspirationchannel]

Thanks for this info. How do you get the exact t-shirt being sold in a mock up ?

[@Printify]

Hi there! thank you so much for the comments. While a LOT of our sellers are not using Etsy (and this video was mostly for them), we do of course love our Etsy merchants and we are HARD at work creating more mockups and shooting with more models (particularly POC) so you can have better mockups. We do also have a number of vouchers and promos for you to get some credit and order yourselves a sample so you can take your own amazing mockups - keep your eyes out for those

[@personalguntrainer]

@@Printify thanks, lol, I'm etsy minded, forgive me.

[@godcandy108]

Great video! In the Canva AI app you can select horizonal and vertical images, not only square ones.

[@StarAlchemy]

For those with Etsy shops I advise against this video especially for apparel. You risk Etsy shutting your shop down for not using the actual real t- shirt in your mockup.

[@wendyon4517]

100% 👆. I wish that Printify added more mock-ups for apparel so we are guaranteed that they are what they say. It's a crapshoot trusting sellers and know for a fact that AI isn't the actual product.

[@SpeedbirdHeavy]

100%

[@freddiethetraveller]

Agree. I’m surprised that they even posted this …..

[@kaorisax]

I wish Printify added mockup with all real photographed colours and not digital recolours!! Pam (eRank admin) released a video yesterday and she said a higher Etsy customer support person confirmed that we are not allowed to use mockups even if they represent the exact model, we can only use mocks provided by the provider. We need flat lay mockups that looks real!

[@Printify]

Hi Peeps, thank you so much for the comments.

Canva is too primitive in the age of AI, but ... OK = nice video
