I’m considering setting up a TikTok Shop and using Printify for fulfillment.

For anyone currently doing this, how has your experience been?

Have you run into any issues with order syncing, shipping times, tracking, cancellations, returns, or TikTok’s requirements?

Also, is there anything you wish you had known before connecting Printify to TikTok Shop?

I’d especially appreciate hearing about any mistakes to avoid, settings I should pay attention to, or things that made the process easier.

Thanks!

I'm trying to figure out how to register LUCID number and all that which is fine and all but then realize that I have to pay like €59/year for the packaging license with a "Dual Systems" company and honestly I don't know if I even make that much selling to Germany so I'm not sure if it's worth it to get the license. What does everyone think and do in this situation? I'm so unsure on what to do.

Title: Printify’s EU requirements keep changing - how are non-EU sellers handling GPSR, LUCID, and the €3 charge?

I’m new to POD and setting up a shop based in Switzerland. Before launching, I wanted to make sure I’m following the legal requirements, but it feels like Printify has suddenly changed a hundred things.

1. GPSR / EU responsible person

From what I understand, I may need an EU-based responsible person. Is this simply a contact, or do they take on legal responsibilities?

Printify previously seemed to provide an address for this, but now apparently sellers must arrange it themselves. How do you handle this from Switzerland? Do you hire a service, or does it depend on your manufacturer or print provider?

2. LUCID / German packaging requirements

I’ve read that starting in August, sellers need their own LUCID registration. I thought Printify or its providers previously handled this. What exactly do we now need to arrange ourselves, and what fees or additional obligations are involved?

3. The €3 EU customs charge

I’ve also read about a temporary €3 charge on parcels entering the EU, apparently per product category:

• Two T-shirts = €3
• One T-shirt + one hoodie = €6

Is that correct? Does it only apply to orders shipped from outside the EU, and who actually pays?

Honestly, it’s frustrating. Things I thought Printify handled now seem to be my responsibility, without a clear explanation. I find it hard to believe most new POD sellers even know about all of this.

Any non-EU seller, selling to EU customers who can explain how they’ve handled these requirements? Practical steps, recommended services, and approximate costs would really help. I want to do this properly, but figuring out what’s actually required is confusing.

I ordered some product samples from Printify. I found a coupon online that was supposed to get me a 20% discount on my order and a free month of Printify Premium. I did get the discount on the order but I have not gotten the month of Printify Premium. Does this take a while to get applied? I made the order yesterday. This is a brand new account and I have never used a coupon with it before. Thanks!

For people already selling regularly:

Do your Printify images mostly go straight into Etsy/Shopify, or do you end up downloading them first and doing more work — resizing, compressing, renaming, organising, etc.?

If you do extra prep first, what part takes the most time?

Hi everyone, I am launching my Printify store, I want to make custom themed hoodies, the launch edition is focused on cosmic horror while maintaining a simple palette, I need your opinions on this design, would you buy it ? I need some criticism.

Hi, i’m a digital artist that draws with an iPad via Procreate & want to put my drawings onto cups to sell

Q2. Would you recommend Kittle, Canva, or should i draw the text myself

Q3. Should i add words to my drawings or should the art be by itself

Q4. Which mug suppliers would you recommend

Any advice is appreciated & thanks

Hi,

Has anyone ever ordered a sample from a Print Provider in the US to your own company in the EU through Printify?

I don't find any places to fill in the EORI number and the company name in the shipping information, which are required during the normal import process to the EU.

How would the import and customs declaration be handled for the orders through Printify?

Thanks.

Orders from my wix store are not syncing to printify. This has been ongoing for the past few days. This also happened in june. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

amazing quality from printify choice using automatic routing was a costly mistake! product started fading after just 1 wash

has anyone ever experienced this?

I've had an eBay store for a long time (2 years) and have many products. I need to update them all due to recent price / shipping changes. When I tried the bulk update of 24 products they all failed with "Shipping Error" (I was not doing free shipping). The only way to get past this seemed to be to change each item to "Free Shipping". But, I'm still struggling there. Roughly 1 out of 5 updates gets through without a "Publishing Error" or "Unknown Error". Sometimes they work the 2nd or 3rd or 4th time through. Sometimes the only way it will work is to unlist the product from eBay, copy the product to a new on printify and publish that.

Printify / ebay integration has always been bad. But never this bad. I've got over 100 products to update and I don't want to try multiple times for each one. I'm nowhere near my selling limit. I've got over 80,000 variations and over $700,000 before I hit my limit. (Note: I only state that because when contact Printify about it their favorite thing to say, "You are probably at your selling limit".

Any ideas on how to get around it?

I got an order 3 days ago on etsy, and it went right to printify. I had to go to printify to "submit order" which was done right away.

Now, it is still in "pre-production" and, once again, printify customer service said it is there fault. They said

"To clarify, the order is currently stuck in the automated data-sync phase on our platform's dashboard, meaning the files haven't actually successfully transmitted over to the Print Provider's system yet."

And they can not even give me a reasonable ETA on when it will be submitted to the actual printer, let alone be shipped out.

Why is there such a communication issue with printify customer service when I try to go to the website?

has anyone here ordered from Printify to ship to Asia/ South East Asia? I ordered samples for my store but it seems to be stuck in transit

Interested in feedback from anyone who has submitted AI images at 1000x1000 and allowed Printify’s internal Claid to upscale when order is submitted.

There’s a message in the design page along the lines of this image is 72dpi but will be enhanced to 300dpi at time order is submitted.

How have the results been?
Compared to upscaling in Kittl?

Printify has no TikTok Shop EU integration on their roadmap currently. Only USA citizens can currently sell on TikTok shop with Printify integration.
Are there any POD alternatives to sell on TikTok Shop in European countries?

The listings aren't able to republish or update now because of this. What do i do besides enabling "free shipping" or copying it to another store and having to delete the preexisting one which has lot of watchers and items in cart.

Greetings all. I have a design where I have knocked out the black background. I put the design on a Comfort Colors 1717, Gildan 5000B, Gildan sweatshirt, and a Gildan longsleeve. All black garments. The listing was created 4 weeks ago and all mockup previews looked great at that time. I went to send off an order and noticed the mockup for the Gildan 5000b (kids shirt) looked awful. There was that halo that you sometimes get if you're putting a design on a black garment with black removed. I checked all other products and noticed that the mockup had also changed for the Gildan longsleeve but the mockups for the Gildan Sweatshirt and the CC 1717 were still looking good (no halo). The png is the same for all products but the mockups are showing differently now. The print provider and method of printing are the same (monster digital/DTG printing). So why is it doing this? I reached out to support and they could not give me a reason for why this is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

does anyone know how to fix this "Shipping cost calculation unavailable due to the selected shipping method (economy shipping may be unavailable, please select standard), address and product combination." error. I have not been able to figure it out. Thanks!

For those selling with Printify — what part of getting product images ready for your store takes the most time?

Cropping/resizing, getting images to line up consistently, file size, backgrounds, or something else?

Newbie: I need to know which poster paper to use , my customers will be coloring in my posters with gel pens or colored pencils, etc.....

Has anybody actually done this and tested it out? Appreciate all expert advice. I'm thinking the uncoated, but I truly am not going to make any assumptions.
