Step 3: Create product listings for your designs.
Once your e-commerce platform is connected to Printify, you can begin creating product listings for your designs.
Depending on the platform you are using, this may involve installing a Printify app or plugin to your e-commerce platform or creating product listings directly within the platform's interface.
For example, if you are using Shopify, you would need to install the Printify app from the Shopify App Store and then create new product listings within your Shopify account using the app.

When creating a new product listing, select the product type you want to sell (e.g. t-shirts, puzzles, phone cases) and choose the specific product variant you want to use (e.g. size, color, material).
Upload your design to the product listing by either selecting a pre-existing design from your Printify account or uploading a new design.
Customize the product listing by setting your pricing and shipping options, and by customizing the title, description, and images to make it more appealing to potential customers.
For example, if you are creating a t-shirt product listing, you may want to set different pricing tiers for different sizes or colors of the t-shirt. You can also customize the product listing description to highlight the unique features of your design, such as the message or artwork.

Depending on the platform you are using, you may need to go through a review process before your listing is published to ensure it meets the platform's guidelines and requirements.
For example, if you are using Etsy, you will need to ensure your product listing meets Etsy's policies on intellectual property, prohibited items, and other criteria before it can be published.

How do I publish my product listing on my e-commerce platform?

Step 6: Market and promote your product listings.
Once your product listings are published, you can begin marketing and promoting them to your target audience.
This may involve using social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to showcase your designs, running paid advertising campaigns to reach a wider audience, or leveraging email marketing to promote special offers or discounts.
For example, if you are selling t-shirts with a specific message or design, you could create social media posts featuring images of people wearing the t-shirts or share customer reviews and testimonials to build social proof.
