Frequently Asked Questions

Does Printify integrate directly with WooCommerce? β–Ό

Yes, Printify has a native integration with WooCommerce. It is available directly within the Printify app marketplace.

Is the connection between Printify and WooCommerce secure? β–Ό

Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Printify security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way? β–Ό

This is typically a one-way sync: Printify β†’ WooCommerce. Changes in WooCommerce do not sync back to Printify.

Will existing data in Printify sync to WooCommerce? β–Ό

Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.

Why does Customer sees 'No shipping options available' at checkout for Printify items.? β–Ό

This is a known issue (~80% of users). Common cause: API Timeout or Caching. Typical fix time: 15 minutes. Many teams solve this with Make's visual mapping tools or n8n for self-hosted control.
