Chapter 1: Getting Started
Step 1: Create Your Printify Account
The first step with any online platform is setting up your account properly, and Printify is no different. Begin by entering your contact details, business information, and a preferred payment method.
Why Add a Payment Method?
Printify does not directly withdraw funds from your sales platform. Instead, the payment process works like this: when an order is placed through your store, Printify automatically deducts the production and shipping costs from your linked credit card or Printify balance. The difference between what the customer pays and these charges is your profit.
Chapter 2: Selecting a Sales Channel
Step 2: Choose a Platform to Sell On
Since Printify handles the production and shipping of your products, you’ll need a storefront where customers can browse and purchase your designs.
What Are Your Options?
- If you want to build an independent online store, consider platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Wix, PrestaShop, or Squarespace.
- If you prefer selling within an established marketplace, Etsy and eBay are great choices.

Important Notes:
