Part 3: creating a Printify account and connecting it to the store
Play video
Printify holds the fulfilment half of the business: the blanks, the print providers and the production. This part registers the account and connects it to the Shopify store, which lets a design become a Shopify product without manual data entry.
The choice of print provider gets attention here because it sets cost, shipping time and available sizes. Marketplace buyers compare you directly against sellers who hold their own stock, and those three numbers are what they compare.
What you will learn
- How to set up a Printify account for a new business.
- What to weigh when choosing a print provider: price, location and delivery time.
- How the Printify to Shopify connection works.
- Why the provider decision affects your marketplace competitiveness.
Steps shown in the video
- Register a Printify account.
- Explore the product catalogue and compare print providers.
- Connect Printify to the Shopify store.
- Confirm the connection by checking that products can be published to Shopify.
