Thank you - been looking for someone to please explain this. I have been reading the instructions but I am a visual learner! I truly appreciate people that take the time to explain also the benefits of why choose this platform vs another platform -

[klstepney]

I needed this! Still learning and moving forward! Thanks!

Thank you for this awesome video. It would have been much more helpful. If people on your chat site have have told me about these videos I asked them for a video just like this, and there was no mention of it whatsoever.
Next biggest challenge I have found is how to turn my own paintings and drawings into acceptable digital form. There doesn’t seem to be a mention of the digital quality and how to obtain it. I know that digital quality is imperative, particularly with artwork on a large scale canvas once again I thank you for this awesome video. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Esty update: Transactions Fees are at 6.5%. Everything else is pretty much the same for now.

Thank you! A video on how to come up with designs would be helpful. Thank you

Do you have a video which goes into more depth on pricing? How much higher than the production price should the Etsy price be in order to make a profit but still get sales?

Really useful info, thanks a lot!, just a quick question, I'm in the UK, would it be more convenient for me to set all in U$S or GBP?, Printify and Etsy accounts

i will also start etsy+printify business, any help, guide would be appreciated, thanks

[kukualdulimy]

Then how about delivery time ?? How can I control it ? How to change the delivery rate ? And how to change the shipping rate and fee ?? Im a little bit confused since it's my first time opening a shop online, and also i listed an item which was a t shirt and connect it to my etsy store but whenever i click on that item they say sorry this item isn't available?? Why is that?
Thanks

Great video. I cannot open the "ultimate guide".
I would also love to know best printify providers in Europe, Canada and the UK. Thank you!

Thanks, as always, everything you share is perfect! I started the process of creating my Etsy store with my buyer account, but I stopped the process and would like to open my store from a new account with a new email. In the process I stopped, I entered my personal data (full name, ID, and address), but when I clicked save and continue, they weren't saved because I was missing a section. That means these details don't appear in that section of the store process now. My question is, if I open a new Etsy store with a new account, will that information still be stored on Etsy somehow, and will Etsy penalize my new store for using the same details as the first one, even though they don't appear in the first one? I hope you can help me! Thank you so much.

Thank you. This is very helful. My question is to you need to pay the 20cents before a product is published or it is deducted when it is bought. Secondly, I am located in Africa, can I use my local Credit card for this or I need another system for to receive payment?

[MrCaryMath]

Can I add a product through Printify to an already existing Etsy store? In other words, can I have some products in my Etsy store fulfilled through Printify and other products not fulfilled through Printify?

[eternity]

This video is helpful - but PLEASE make a video showing how to size a design for shirts in Monster Digital. The print ginormous - your mockup make the design look teeny tiny - but when you receive your shirt they are ginormous. I understand the other POD will adjust the design per shirt size - but Monster does not - so its almost a guessing game. Please do a video tutorial!!

I have been trying to do free shipping for my products. Once I have free shipping on my etsy, you say to go back to my products on printify and change to free shipping. However, I have not found one product that gives me the option to switch to free shipping, whether it is while I am creating it, or when I want to change after. Am I doing something wrong, or does this option not exist anymore?
Thanks for the help
