Before You Dive In

The Printful integration connects your Ivorey™ Ecommerce store with Printful to power print-on-demand sales and automated fulfillment.

Printful Integration Features

  • Product Import: Import products from your connected Printful store into your Ecommerce store location. This allows you to bring your Printful catalog directly into your product list for publishing and customisation.

  • Product Synchronisation: Product updates such as creation, modification, and deletion are synchronised between Printful and your Ecommerce store. This ensures that your catalog stays aligned with changes made inside Printful.

  • Order Creation: Whenever a customer places an order in your Ecommerce store for an eligible Printful product, the order is automatically created in your connected Printful store for processing.

  • Order Fulfillment Sync: Fulfillment details from Printful sync back into your Ecommerce store. This includes both partial and complete fulfillment updates so you always have accurate order status information.

  • Order Status Notifications: After a fulfillment update occurs, customers receive email notifications based on the order status. Shipping details are provided from Printful as part of the fulfillment process.

This guide is perfect if you want to:

  • Connect your Printful store to your Ivorey™ account

  • Import products from Printful into your Ecommerce catalog

  • Understand how product sync, order creation, and fulfillment updates work

Order Sync and Fulfillment

When customers purchase Printful products in your online store:

  • Orders are automatically created in Printful

  • Printful manages production and shipping

  • Fulfillment updates, including partial and completed shipments, sync back into your Ecommerce order view

Note: The delivery address must be accurate for the order to sync with Printful. If the address is incorrect or unsupported, the order will not be created or synced in Printful.


Product Synchronisation

The Printful integration supports product synchronisation between Printful and your Ecommerce store, including updates related to product creation, modification, and deletion.

Note: Product descriptions do not sync from Printful due to the Printful Store Limitations.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I connect one Printful store to more than one Ecommerce store location?

Do product descriptions sync from Printful?

No. Product descriptions are not pulled from Printful. You must edit or add descriptions inside the product details page after the products are imported.

Does the Printful integration handle order production and shipping?

Yes. When an order syncs successfully, Printful manages production, packaging, and shipping.
