The billing is a rip off and ridiculous that sellers get charged automatically at full price when a customer buys a product. I will be using teespring moving forward

From my understanding of Printful u would need to have money in your wallet to cover the sales orders from customers. So someone starting out on a small budget will rarely have money in their wallet to cover possible hundreds or thousands of orders at the prices Printful charge + your add on, $100 in your Printful wallet would cover maybe 4 hoodies or 5-6 Tee's at the most. If i'm correct? Then we would have to wait for clearing of payments. Which could take days or longer. Thus many orders could be cancelled out. We as a small sellers could have cashflow problems here, and loose customers at the very beginning. I hope i'm wrong.

If I am going to do this, it would make better sense to do a pre sale on items I can just make myself at a way lower cost and with better blanks. You guys up charge on each product & the catalog is very hard to find trendy blanks. Then on top of it all, this is being sold as an easy way to set up a drop shipping store just for me to be required to pay out of pocket on each order for my customer to even get it. False advertising isn't cool lol and I really feel as if I have wasted a lot of time I will never get back with this service.

What is the best source of payment - since I don't want to run the sales directly through my debit/bank card (I don't usually use credit cards) don't want to deal with the influx of statement activity?

[aleksmaric]

Thanks I really enjoyed in this video how Nora explained in simple manner our burning questions.I am looking forward to hearing from you and your another guest.Cheers!

[UNIIIVERSE_UNIIIVERSE]

so I don't see order import settings, only order fulfillment centers and product alternatives. Is that option still available?

[blueridgeguy]

Just now watching this, though a year old video. So, it I sell a mug to a buyer for $15 that costs me $8.95 from Printful, I have to send Printful $8.95 before the money from the buyer is available to me? Just trying to get this clear in my head, so if I have a viral video that sells 5000 mugs overnight, I have to pay Printful 5000 x $8.95 or $44, 750 before the buyer funds clear - so I have to come up with that money on my own? Or, how long before the buyers payment clears, where it is available for me to use it to pay Printful? Sorry, I am just trying to figure this all out and don't wanna get into an awkward situation.

T.Y. for the very good info . . . (total newb)

[lovitty]

Makes a bit more sense but price costs are still really expensive at times especially if you are purchasing multiple items

[ThyKingdomCome..]

So if there is an order that is over $1000 does my wallet need to have approximately $1000 as a cushion if more than 1000 is sold or be safe than have no funds to cover? What do big companies do if there is a high volume of sales. How do I reconcile my transactions?

[MagneticCreativesMotivation]

Thanks for the video! I look forward to selling with printful. I love the review videos can you do more of those, it's great to see people using the products. I too hope to Order a few samples from my store for clients to make testimonial videos for our online marketplace.

[IoannaPeralta]

This was so helpful thankyou so much ❤️❤️

[tjtj]

Is it possible that the front end can take out the cost from customer payment and send it to you guys and the seller receive their royalties more of a clean slate all the way around!!! Than customer making payment us adding funds given avail and paying back the cc or a personal loan. Seems that would be more in favor of the seller, and tjird parties more sells no matter what level.

[ashleysgalaxy]

This is very helpful, I was struggling to figure out using paypal with printful because my big cartel site only takes paypal, I wasnt sure if my customers payment sent to me through paypal would be able to be sent to printful to start production of the purchased item. Now I know to use the manual order confirmation so I can wait for my paypal funds to be accessible to pay to printul to avoid having to preload money to the printful wallet instead

[animbey]

How does profit collection work? I can not find any information on collecting profits from Printful. Any information regarding such would help! Thank you!

[LeFemininDivin]

Hey there, thanks for the info. When someone makes a purchases a product is are we responsible for paying the cost of fulfillment once the item is purchased online or after we receive payment of purchase? Essentially, are we charged for fulfillment before we receive profit for the sale?

[EspanJoy]

Can one just keep all funds in the wallet including profits? Why take a payout if you're just going to be billed and have to deposit funds again? Also what if more orders come in and what was in the wallet is depleted? Are you notified for fulfillment and can one make one bulk charge on a credit card to deposit into the wallet? Lots of questions still.

[musiktrending]

Bro, later when the order has been processed the balance on Paypal or credit card will be deducted
