Printful: Print on Demand

I had high hopes for Printful, but the fulfillment speed has been extremely slow. Orders take far too long to move from production to shipping, which creates unnecessary delays and a poor customer experience.

If fulfillment time matters to you at all, I would strongly recommend switching to another app. Slow production hurts your brand, increases support tickets, and makes it harder to compete. Reliability and speed are critical in ecommerce, and unfortunately Printful consistently fell short for us.

There are better options out there if you value timely order fulfillment.

Integrating into Shopify is extremely easy. Just make sure you check that you've added everything you need too (title other than a generic, add the collection you want it in if you have collections etc). You can use their descriptions (which are nice), or if you want more detail use ChatGPT. This is so much easier than uploading it through Shopify itself.

I hate the new update. Now when I am publishing from my saved templets it brings me to an new page. Then I have to navigate all the way back to the templet collection. Before I could just work down the list. Now this add unnecessary time and steps.

The app is perfectly functional, I've never had any problems with it, all synced nicely, and everything is smooth. I've been using it for three years now.

Great & seamless integration with Shopify. The quality of the finished product is top tier and we love that our customers love the end results of their desired customization.

Printful is great but keep in mind it is apparently impossible to migrate your store to a new login, or add a second account to your Printful store. According to their support team, they have no way to let you do this.

Since we've used our corporate Google emails to create our Printful accounts, I'd have to log in to my CEO's Google account to manage our Printful catalog. Grotesquely stupid, and short sighted. Printful, you really need to fix this! Until this gets fixed, I'll have to move to another printing provider!

“Printful makes my business run smoother—especially with Shopify!”

Working with Printful has been an absolute game changer for my business. As someone who constantly juggles inventory, live sales, and new product drops, having a production partner I can rely on is priceless. Printful’s quality is consistently impressive—my customers love the products, and I love that everything is made on demand, which saves me from overstocking and reduces stress.

But the real magic is how seamlessly Printful integrates with Shopify. The automatic syncing means my designs, product listings, and updates move straight into my store without the extra steps or headaches. When an order comes in, Printful handles the fulfillment automatically, giving me more time to focus on running Spotted M Tack, creating new merch, and engaging with my community.

Between the easy-to-use design tools, reliable fulfillment, and flawless Shopify sync, Printful has truly become an essential part of my workflow. I couldn’t imagine running my shop without it!

Works well for fast product page uploads. For creating portrait canvas prints, I still have to use my laptop browser to access Printful website to set up portrait art prints. The horizontal, vertical check boxes are not show on the design page in the app. This is the only work around I deal with, all other products seem easy to set up. I'm pleased overall.

Seemed overwhelming at first, but after a few tutorial videos and creating my first product, it has become very simple and easy to use. Love the process!

BEWARE! Printful is fine when it works. But I had orders on Shopify that I marked to be fulfilled through Printful and Printful never sent them out. I only found out when my unhappy customers contacted me. Printful did not respond to my support requests and did not solve the problem. Made me look very bad with my customers.
