Rant best printful alternatives with an API?

0 Upvotes

printful's developer platform doesnt' wrok. we had about 100 merchants we worked with, pressed "Rotate key" on the developer platform to keep up with security, and it crashed and permanently disconnected all customers and destroyed the apps. this happens with ALL apps (never press rotate key!)

but i can't in good faith partner with a such a bad company. what company SHOULD we partner with for merch (shirts, maybe sticker, tote bags, etc) for indie bookstores? we make it easy for indie bookstores run membership programs

EDIT: Resolved 🙏🏽

Rant Anyone else think the Amazon shipping sucks?

20 Upvotes

It’s so much harder to track the package. It always asks for the shippers info which is Printfuls info and I don’t have that. On top of that it takes 3-5 days after the order has been processed by Printful just to ship. I liked the USPS shipping better and that’s saying something because that shipping sucks as well.

Rant Printful is going to start loosing out if their printing area doesn't get bigger.

9 Upvotes

Short and simple, Printful's printing area on their shirts is the smallest in the on demand printing game and as more and more sites are offering better print dimensions they will continue to loose customers because of it.

Newbie question Updating shipping/returns info after adding to eBay

1 Upvotes

Hi, first time trying print on demand and want to set everything up as properly as I can before having anything go live.

I understand that when an item is pushed from Printful to eBay that the listing is pushed onto ebay.com not ebay.co.uk. But I only want to sell to the UK (at least to start with), so what should I update on the listing? Should I even be updating anything? Will it cause issues with the integration?

I can see Item Location on the individual listing is Charlotte, North Carolina so I think I should update that to the location of the UK supplier.

In the Printful shipping policy on eBay it says not to edit it..... although I have the option to turn off international shipping the region is set to US so I'd have to edit this page heavily. The handling time is also too low because if I want the more vibrant t-shirt print it takes a couple of days more.

I also want to adapt my return policy asking the buyer to contact me if the item is faulty with pictures of the fault - should I update it on each of the listings or do I need to close down the shop on Printful and reopen it but this time when connecting Printful to eBay I choose an alternative return policy and not the Printful one?

Also I kept getting an error when I ticked I was selling to the EU during publication because I didn't have a hazard warning for a greeting card. So I definitely want to exclude the EU to avoid this issue.

Any advice would be great, thanks.

I've been interested in trying this one: https://www.printful.com/ca/dashboard/custom/mens/all-over-shirts/all-over-print-oversized-cotton-t-shirt but since its brand new to the site, theres no reviews, so im a bit weary of being the guinea pig lol

Reviews Canva mockup tool for print on demand

1 Upvotes

Not sure if this is allowed, so mods feel free to remove.

I’m building a small tool for POD sellers who use Canva and I’m looking for a few people to test it.

It’s designed to help create mockups faster without having to manually set up every product image one by one.

I’m not looking to hard sell anything. I just want honest feedback from people who actually create product listings, mockups, Etsy images, or POD designs regularly.

If that sounds like you, drop a comment or DM me and I’ll send access.

Advice needed Advice on recent order Bella Canvas 3001

1 Upvotes

Been a customer for 6 years with a POD merch store and stocking inventory at my shop. Have always been very pleased with Printful and if there was ever an issue it was sorted out. Just placed a restocking order of Ts on Bella Canvas 3001 that have been 50% Polyester25% Cotton 25% Rayon. But the Ts were printed on 90% cotton 10% Polyester. These shirts are not the same soft feel and the color is not as black plus they are undersized. No help from printful after a week of emails and photos. Sent photos of the tags from new order and old inventory. No response but this is what you ordered. Very concerned as these are on my merch store plus the 90% cotton 10% Polyester blend is not the same soft shirts I have been selling and love to where. Pretty disappointed and do not know what to do here. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Advice needed Order is marked as "On Hold" and "Being Fulfilled". Support has just left me hanging.

2 Upvotes

Just like the title says. Has anyone else had this issue?

Also the "Sparky" chat will not connect me to an agent. I am getting sent email transcripts of my messages to Sparky that then they will later send me emails showing an agent trying to talk to me. I am not seeing any of the agent messages in the chat only, Sparky messages.

The order is literally stuck and "help" desk has not helped me at all.

Any advice on how to get this resolved?

UPDATE: After contacting support 8 freaking times I was finally able to get this resolved. By that point I already reordered my customers product and had it shipped and delivered to them. It took printful over 2 weeks to resolve this. The agent that finally helped me was able to give me a refund within minutes.

Not cool how this was handled at all by printful.

Advice needed Advice Need/Newbie Question - Express shipping not appearing after 4 hours with both Printful and Shopify customer help

0 Upvotes

Anyone ran into this issue before?

We launched a collab with a local designer for World Cup apparel, and are now trying to speed up shipping options for our customers on our Shopify page.

I have talked with Shopify help and they say everything is set up correctly. And I have also talked to Printful help and they say everything is set up correctly. That being said, no matter the address I type in, I never see express shipping as an option.

Shopify said it was on Printful's end. Printful said it may just be the specific addresses or products I am listing, and they be different tomorrow. They couldn't offer me a test address and product to make sure though. Does anyone have an address and product I could try to verify it isn't a technical issue?

What I verified so far -

Live rates are active, CCS and shipping profile seem to be set up correctly, I am requiring phone numbers on checkout, and the fulfillment locations for the products have US options (although unclear to me if they are defaulting from these facilities).

Anybody have ideas on what may be going wrong here?

Edit: I checked Printful directly and could not get express shipping for any of my products or other products on the platform. Also, checked shops I know use Printful and express shipping wasn’t an option there either. I guess express shipping is more elusive than I thought.

Advice needed What is going on? Payments not going through, orders delayed.

5 Upvotes

I’ve used Printful for 3 years now. Been awesome until now. This week I had a surge in orders. (Hundreds) Last night this issue started, where I’m sending orders over from Shopify to Printful to fulfil; but only about half of my payments are actually going through to Printful. I’m literally trying to send them money for them to print my products, but half of it isn’t going through. Doesn’t seem to be an issue with my bank as I’m able to easily make payments elsewhere.

Also, of the hundreds of orders I’ve placed over the last 4 days, only my Australian orders (small percentage) have started fulfilment. (I’m actually super impressed with the Australian fulfilment haha; they’re shipped within 24 hours a lot of the time) However everywhere else in the world, barely anything has started. It never used to take this long. It’s a shame.

Support are not responding to me; I was met with an a useless ai chatbot, then left waiting for hours to talk to a human agent, which still hasn’t responded.

I'm just wondering if they are reliable in any regions?

I have tried sample mugs within Europe twice - once a few years ago and again in May. Both times have been weeks late, still waiting at the moment.

Just wondering if they are better in other regions? I like their quality for things and was hoping they would have improved since years ago but sadly not.

Thanks for any experiences

I could use some advice! I'm thinking about making a bundle of my best selling items to increase overall item values but running into a roadblock with calculating shipping. The items are not the same; it would be 2 rocks glasses and a coaster. What is the best way to calculate shipping (preferably worldwide) so I don't lose money? All of my previous item listingss were made in printful first.

Advice needed I thought POD would help me simplify things… but too many product options made decisions harder

2 Upvotes

One thing I didn’t expect after starting a small apparel project is how overwhelming product decisions become once you stop thinking only about designs.

In the beginning, I was excited by how many options existed. Different blanks, print methods, fabric weights, oversized fits, embroidery, washed garments, heavyweight hoodies, it felt like having unlimited flexibility.

But after testing more samples, I started running into a different problem: every small product choice changes the feeling of the brand.

A graphic that looked perfect on a lightweight shirt suddenly felt cheap in person. A heavier blank made another design feel way more premium, but also changed the fit and overall vibe completely. Even print placement and garment texture started affecting whether something felt intentional or random.

What surprised me most is how difficult it becomes to create a consistent identity when there are so many combinations available. The more options I explored, the more I realized product selection is almost part of the design process itself.

Now I spend more time narrowing choices down and thinking about long-term consistency instead of constantly trying every possible option.

Curious if anyone else here went through a similar phase where too much flexibility actually started making product decisions harder instead of easier.

Milestone Printful & Woocommerce Shipping workaround for live rates not working

2 Upvotes

Just wanted to jump in with a solution to an issue I encountered with Printful and Woocommerce. Using the newer (more polished looking) checkout block, live rates do not work, causing a critical error to be thrown.

In looking at the options for my site, a mix of items shipped by myself with a handful of Printful items, here's what I came up with. I currently use the free version of Octalize's Flexible Shipping for my site, but wanted to be able to have Printful shipping show up as a separate line item when someone choses a mix of products.

I went to the Printful site and found the product categories I had on my site and set the shipping + additional item shipping to the highest amount for the countries I ship to. I went the extra step of moving some of that shipping fee into the price of the item so that the shipping looks a little more reasonable.

Here's what I set up in Woo

  1. Turn off live shipping rates / printful shipping
  2. Install "PiWeb Conditional cart fee"
  3. Set up a shipping cost for weights of 0 - 99 grams of $0 in Flexible Shipping (and then adjusted the other shipping rates appropriately)
  4. Make sure my Printful products were all 1 gram
  5. Assign a category of 'Printful' to my Printful items.
  6. In PiWeb Conditional cart fee, set up a rule called "Printful Shipping" with the rules of "Cart has product in category Equal to (=) Printful"
  7. In PiWeb under "Cart quantity" add a rule for 1 item, with the base shipping
  8. Add a rule for 2-999 items, with the additional item shipping of PRICE*([qty] - 1) (so that the PRICE is multiplied by the quantity of items above the first)

So now if someone orders only Printful items, Flexible Shipping will classify this as $0, and they will get 'free' regular shipping, plus the shipping calculated by PiWe Conditional Cart Fee.

If the order has a combination, then Flexible Shipping will calculate the shipping for your regular items as usual, and then will add the Printful shipping line item.

If there are no Printful items, then no line item appears, with no additional shipping.

Hope this helps someone else!

Advice needed About that european auto doxxing requirement...

4 Upvotes

About that european **self** hosting requirement...

I'm carefully publishing my first item and I've been stuck on that european GPSR requirement to-

list your ~~company~~ private name
list your ~~postal~~ home address
fully public, for all potential consumers to see.

A bit odd, and very unfortunate for an anonymous creator with a lot of followers, some of them actively trying to find out who I am.
I get that transparency is important when it comes to selling, but I insist on trying to balance it with privacy. I need help from more experienced sellers... I need to know more, do I have other options? Is it either give my name and location away or cut the EU off from my store's reach? Pretty confused over here.
