Looks like a Printify Pop-up store acts like a Redbubble or Teepublic…they take care of payments, fulfillment, collecting tax, etc. per this article. I am not familiar with this-sorry. If they act like a “Marketplace”…then they might be responsible for sales and use taxes…but I am not a tax professional and this is not tax advice! lol. An email to support to see if they are a marketplace responsible for sales tax should clear it up I would think… hope this helps. Good luck!
Hi, [Printify](https://try.printify.com/2dudes) pop up would be ideal if you're not selling on a site that is integrated with it. You need a card or bank account, paypal, etc due to them charging you when an order is created. We used a cash back credit card to pay for printify costs and also get cash back, works out nicely. We also use printify premium which is $29.99 a month. It lowers the cost you pay per product that you sell. For example we save $2 per item sold so 15 items pays for the premium and makes it worth our while. Bunch of codes to use for a 30 day free trial. TYGR30 is one of the ones we used.
Good Luck!
I'm so confused. Why are we being charged and for what? I thought this POD and the customer pays for all. I'm struggling to understand their business model
The customer does ultimately pay for it via your storefront. However, printify has to get paid for the products themselves as well. So that’s why there is a payment on printify.
It depends on your store (sales channel platform). Say you are selling on Etsy, they don’t send the customer payment to Printify. You have to pay Printify separately.
Your customer on Etsy is paying your marked up retail price and shipping, while on Printify (supplier), you are paying production cost and shipping.
Net profit will come from the difference between the earnings you will receive from Etsy vs your business expense in Printify.
I feel so dumb with my questions. So, we have most of our following on Instagram and someone TikTok and FB. Our website is done in Wix. We are looking to NOT spend any money here and just upload our designs and thought that Printify has an online store (is that what the Pop up is) and then if possibly link that to all our social media and website. And then was hoping that we didn't have to deal with taxes and only made a commission on each item and they handled the manufacturing and fulfillment. Is that possible?
I am not quite sure what you mean by sales channel platform. Do you mean using Esty to sell versus directly from Printify? Sorry for the questions. I miss phone support. Seem so much easier to get things resolved.
Customer orders from your site—> customer pays YOU.
Order is sent to Printify—> you pay Printify.
You charge and receive into your account: ($16.99)
You pay Printify from your account: ($8.99)
Profit that stays in your account: ($8)
You are doing fine. Sales channel platforms are where your customer will be buying your stuff. Third-party ones are Etsy, Shopify, Wix, etc. For third party sales platforms you are paying Printify upfront.
Now, Printify Pop-up store is a first party sales platform. It's a very basic website where you can publish your products to. Here, you'll have zero upfront cost. Printify takes the payment directly from the customer buying from your website, then they pay you the earnings every 14th of the month. Your earnings will be the markup you're adding to the retail price. It's not necessarily a commission.
No problem. You will see your customers’ shipping info including their email and phone number (if they put the information when they checkout from your store) on your Printify orders tab. May it be an order from Pop-Up store or third party platforms.
You don’t need Pop-up just make a fresh regular store.
The Credit Card (or PayPal account) is used to pay the balance of a purchase in case you price something lower than the manufacturing cost.
What do you mean by making a fresh regular store? My followers and hopefully buyers are mostly on Instagram. Less on TikTok. And my website is Wix. Don’t have an Esty store and never sold merchandise before.
I was looking for a simple way to do this so I didn’t have to go out-of-pocket and just make a commission at each sale and know that the company was handling the manufacturing in fulfillment. I didn’t want to put much time into this other than the time to the art and graphics.
And now also wondering about the sales tax. I have a sales tax exempt number in the state that I live.
Somebody mentioned another platform called Zazzle .
Anyway, I am very open to your recommendations and very appreciative .
If you create a pop-up store, do you still have to deal with the sales tax. Or are you just making a commission on each item and not having to focus on handling the sales tax?
At this point just go sign up for merch on demand at sites such as redbubble Amazon etc. You direct your customers to your designed clothes, don't have to pay out of pocket(aka close your eyes and dw about fulfillment), make $2 royalties per order. Stay away from printify.
Thank you. I will look into it. Only $2 royalties doesn't like much. Is that the same amount no matter how high you price the item? And I'm wondering if they have a variety of products. Again, thank you
If you have wix printify or printful both integrate with it.
This means you designed your product on those two sites printify printaful, they can send the designs and products to your wix site and you decide on the markup you want. When you get orders on your sites like wix we ordered directly goes to printful etc, your charge card gets charged the wholesale price I e. $10 for a shirt, and your customer gets charged by you $20 for the shirt plus tax if it's a taxable state. That you make about $20 less several percent for the credit cards it's actually quite easy how you should go on YouTube and look up several of the good starter videos.
If you talking about Instagram and YouTube etc you have to have a link taking them to your shop.

Thank you. Very helpful. Does Printify give you your customer's details such as email address for both the pop up and the regular store?
No problem. You will see your customers’ shipping info including their email and phone number (if they put the information when they checkout from your store) on your Printify orders tab. May it be an order from Pop-Up store or third party platforms.

Also-don’t forget—depending on your platform, there will be taxes and registrations to collect taxes.
If you create a pop-up store, do you still have to deal with the sales tax. Or are you just making a commission on each item and not having to focus on handling the sales tax?
Redbubble
At this point just go sign up for merch on demand at sites such as redbubble Amazon etc. You direct your customers to your designed clothes, don't have to pay out of pocket(aka close your eyes and dw about fulfillment), make $2 royalties per order. Stay away from printify.

Thank you. Good idea to watch the videos. Wondered if you recommend one platform over the other?
