Processing Printful Orders

When you make a sale, you will receive an email from Etsy and Printful.

You will want to set up your payment details on your first sale.

The payment has already been received from your buyer, so now you will need to send payment to Printful to manufacture and ship the item that has been purchased.

After filling in your payment details, check the box to allow them to collect the payment and process your orders automatically.

All future sales are dealt with automatically between Printful and Etsy.

Etsy will collect the buyer’s payment, send the order to Printful, and Printful will then collect the payment for processing the order and ship it directly to your buyer.

Now you can earn extra revenue while creating new art in the studio.

Best Selling Prints On Etsy

The best-selling artwork on Etsy is the art that is marketed to the right buyers.

Do not think it will sell for you just because you listed an item on Etsy.

The real work begins after your art prints are live on Etsy.

If you want to sell your Printful prints, you must promote them to your target audience.

Unless you tell them, people will not know you have an item for sale.

Promote your new listings on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest, and write a blog post.
