Printify: Print on Demand

My Shopify Store is not linking to my Shopify correctly

AVOID THESE PEOPLE, THEY TOOK MY MONEY FROM MY PAYONEER ACCOUNT AFTER NOT FULFILING THE ORDER. THEY SAID I CANT GET MY MONEY BACK, WITHOUT NOT INFORMING ME PRIOR. THIS IS THE HIGHEST SCAM IN THE HISTORY OF ALL SCAM. I WANT MY MONEY BACK PRINTIFY OR I WILL KEEP TELLING PEOPLE OF HOW YOU TOOK MY MONEY AND YET CANCELED MY ORDER.

Abysmal. Avoid. Overpriced. And really poor customer service.

We placed a sample order to see the quality of the product. The hoodie printing was off and the garment looked wet from the shoulders down as it was a different color where the logo was printed. When we reached out to Printify we had no response for several days, save for auto-emails that think they've found the solution and attempt to give you the brush off so there is no need for human assistance. After one week and multiple messages the issue was finally resolved. This response time is unacceptable given today's 24-7 shopping environment. We weren't expecting immediate resolution, however had this been a customer's order and the customer reaches out to you, and you reach out to the third-party provider about the fourth-party product... it's you who looks like the idiot because you can't give basic answers re: their order. That is not a risk we're willing to take as we insist on quality customer service. As such, yes, we uninstalled this app after our one and only issue with its customer service. If this was a one-off experience (however their service rep confirmed they're bogged down and can't handle the correspondence volume) we might've stuck around. Our parent company, who has other Shopify stores, immediately uninstalled Printify, unwilling to jeopardize their respective customer service experiences.

UPDATED 10/9/23
In response to a dreadful customer service experience our sister company had, we've immediately uninstalled this app and will not jeopardize our customer satisfaction by using this third-party provider that sells fourth-party products. If your store is committed to timely interactions and positive experiences with customers, avoid this app at all costs. Don't be left hanging with angry customers demanding answers while you look foolish because you're waiting for days on end from the Printify support team. Scroll the other review responses from Printify where the company confirms they can't manage all of the messages they get from Shopify merchants.
Only use this app if you want to be left in the dark about your customers' orders and look the fool because you can't give them timely answers and resolutions.

ORIGINAL:
App is useless, website is useless (copying and pasting directly from the Shopify dashboard it doesn't recognize our store email address so we can't log onto their main site), Twitter "support" has gone nowhere. We have had a customer asking for two days the status of his order and have no answers. He ordered two items. It showed that both fulfillments were requested and that one was in production expected to ship tomorrow. The other was requested but there was no information anywhere except for his actual Shopify order. Tweeted Printify for help almost 24 hours ago (since we can't get into their website) and there is still no answer on the status of this order. It appears that one of the items - the one scheduled to ship tomorrow -- has been cancelled now. We have no idea what's happening with the order and have no information to give to the customer. Maybe this type of customer service is acceptable to Printify -- and based on reviews and social media comments it's clearly not working -- but this level of service doesn't cut it nowadays. Highly recommend using Printify if you want to feel powerless in your customer service delivery and looking like an idiot when you know nothing about their order. This is his first experience with our store and since Monday (today is Wednesday) we haven't been able to answer basic questions like: How long will it take for my order? Reason being: We don't even know if his order has been placed, or in production, or cancelled. Buyer beware.

Beware, Using Printify has become a dangerous gamble for your business. Printify had a glitch from Sept 1st - Sept 10th, 2022, where ANY order with multiple lines had only ONE item printed and sent. But they marked every order as COMPLETELY fulfilled and customers were sent tracking information for the FULL order but received only one item. Now imagine this time X amount of orders in this 10-day period. There was NO merchant help except sending cancellation emails two weeks after the fact. I spent hours chatting with customer service and begging for help and to actually figure out which items were actually shipped. The agents were all nice enough but Printify wasn't going to offer any real support to many, many botched orders besides issuing a refund for the unproduced items. Honestly, it's a disaster and they could care less about the merchants or how it affects small businesses. After a nearly 2-hour chat, one kind agent was able to have my replacement orders upgraded with expedited shipping as an exception. But today I find out that they have not placed priority shipping on the orders, and have actually disabled the help chat. This is the perfect example of how little they care. I'm hoping multiple merchants will help report them to Shopify for their lack of service.

So I have been paying the monthly $29 rate and I asked the question, how can I tell if my products are receiving (the up to 20%) discount? Currently they have no answer. Makes you wonder... From chat "I'm sorry to hear that! And yes, we'll definitely get back to you.
Unfortunately, we don't have a list of the regular vs premium prices, but I agree that it would be very useful and we hope to have this available sometime in the future "

After years, they still do not offer downloadable .csv files for orders and transactions.

Awful, just awful! No phone #, no merchant service. They remind me of the merchants from the 1850's selling to gold miners. No gold miner ever made money, but the people who sold them the dream certainly did. I can't wait to find other providers, keep inventory, ANYTHING, to get away from Printify. Build your store on something else.

Inconsistent delivery. Careless operation. - Every few orders aren't printed within the generous 10 business day deadline for fulfillment, get 'lost in the mail' (before being in the hands of USPS) or have some other issue. This is supported with only lip service from Printify, as a middle man, and little or NO COMMUNICATION from the actual print vendor. Disappointing clients without any sort of explanation is horrifying, and a business-killer. Random reduction in print area on a garment, without warning or announcement, is no big deal to them but means WEEKS OF UNEXPECTED WORK for me with hundreds of items - showing carelessness and complete lack of business insight. As one of the 'big 2' POD providers, I don't know if I can afford to wait for Printify to mature their operations and ethics. These and other ongoing issues are outweighing the orders fulfilled reasonably and have me wondering if I should move everything to Printful, pay a little more and get a lot less stress.
