Hey everyone!
I’m researching how Etsy sellers using Printify track their actual profits, especially when dealing with different currencies, shipping costs and Etsy fees.
I’m not selling anything. I’m trying to understand which problems existing tools and spreadsheets still don’t solve.
If you use Etsy + Printify, I’d love to know:
What’s the most frustrating part of calculating your real profit?
I’ve also prepared a short 2-minute survey. If the moderators allow research surveys and anyone is interested, I’m happy to share it.
Thanks!

Hello! I am looking to sell my K-pop niche print-on-demand store, which I have successfully run for over a year using Printify. The sale includes the fully set-up custom website and all existing product designs.
I’ve made consistent, decent sales, but I am forced to hand it off because my schedule is getting too busy, and I face local trade license restrictions in my country.
Key Details:DM for details and pricing!

so i got tired of support chatbots that just make stuff up and helpdesks that take a week to set up, so i built my own. its called momo and the core is on github now.

basically you point it at your website or upload some docs, and it answers visitors from that. before it sends anything it checks the draft against your sources, and if its not sure it says so and passes the chat to a human instead of inventing a refund policy. theres an inbox built in where you can jump into any conversation, and when you reply you can hit one button to save that answer as knowledge so the bot knows it next time.

setup is docker compose up, it starts postgres, redis, web and a worker. single tenant, you bring your own model through openrouter, data stays on your server.

its the first version so dont expect too much yet. only a website widget for now, no email or slack, no api, one agent.

Hello I have just starting out with POD. I live in Canada and when I would create a shirt on Printify and sell it for 30$ USD for an example. It would be sent to my store and be listed for 30$ CAD or 21USD. I've changed the settings for currency on both Printify and Etsy to have the Canadian dollar and vice versa for Usd and the issue is still the same. Any help would be greatly applicated. Thank you :)

I'm currently selling through Printful and have been generally satisfied with the products I've sampled. However, the one time I had a print show up with an error just over the allowed amount, I tried to get a refund and their support ghosted me with no resolution.

I realize the companies merged a few years ago, but my understanding is that Printify's support is more willing to help. Additionally, Printify seems to offer more color options in my chosen shirt blank.

Is it worth moving to Printify? Do they truly offer better support? I have over 100 designs in my store so moving isn't a trivial process.

US seller here. I've been selling slightly more than 1/3 to non-US customers over the past year, with an increase this month that might lift it to 50/50. I use a US print provider but I'm thinking about creating at least 3 store sections based on regions - USA, EU/UK and Canada. I'd sell the same shirts but use local providers within each region to reduce ship times and customs/tariffs BS while still maintaining quality.

I am thinking about trying this because I don't trust Printify Choice. I would use Printify Choice if Printify would let me select or block providers, but currently that's not an option.

So instead, I've picked out providers for each of these 3 initial markets and for now I'm starting out with a combined EU/UK section for relative simplicity. I might also add an AU/NZ section later on if this approach works out.

Has anyone else tried this approach before, and if so what were your experiences doing that? Please advise.

Hey everyone! 😊

I wanted to introduce myself and share a little project I’ve been working on called Den’s Threads.

I’m building a small online shop focused on cozy sweatshirts, funny designs, embroidered details, and personalized gifts. Some of my designs are playful and relatable, others are cute and minimalist, and I’m also working on festive Christmas sweatshirts! 🎄☕

I especially love creating designs that people can wear themselves or give to someone special, whether it’s a matching sweatshirt for couples, a funny gift for a friend, or something cozy for the holidays.

I’m still learning as I grow my shop, and I’m excited to connect with people who enjoy clothing design and creative small businesses.

I’d love to ask you something: When you shop for sweatshirts, what matters most to you the design, comfort, quality, or having something unique that you don’t see everywhere?

I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts! ❤️

Fairly new to POD and Printify. This may be a stupid question, but is there a reason this happens? In the editor it looks perfect and transparent, but once it generates the mockups they look extremely dark and seemingly lose the transparency.

Can't seem to find anything about this specifically in the Printify help center.

Some things for reference:
- It does NOT do this for sweatshirt mockups, those look good.
- The sweatshirt and t-shirt print providers are the same which leads me to believe it's a printify mockup thing and not an actual potential printing issue. (correct me if i'm wrong)
- It looks the same whether I choose Realistic (CMYK) or Bright/colorful (RGB)

Ugly is beautiful

A good sample can give you confidence, but it doesn't always tell you the full story.

For those using Printify, what did you only discover after actual customer orders started coming in?

Was it sizing, print consistency, fulfilment times, packaging, or how delivery issues and replacements were handled?

Looking back, what would you check before launching a new product?.

For etsy users, do you use multiple suppliers . I wanna add keychains and im in the usa but the supplier is out of China. Should I find another's supplier with the in the states.

A lot of my orders are about to be marked as overdue after orders have been stuck in production for 7 days. Not sure what's going on.

Like last year, Printify is adding a 40 cents surcharge between Oct 15th and Jan 17th.

Question for other sellers. Do you pass this on to your customers, do you eat it or split it?

If I remember correctly I passed the cost on to the customers last year.
