Frequently Asked Questions
Does WooCommerce integrate directly with Printify? βΌ
Yes, WooCommerce has a native integration with Printify. It is available directly within the WooCommerce app marketplace.
Is the connection between WooCommerce and Printify secure? βΌ
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 WooCommerce security settings.
Is the sync one-way or two-way? βΌ
This is typically a one-way sync: WooCommerce β Printify. Changes in Printify do not sync back to WooCommerce.
Will existing data in WooCommerce sync to Printify? βΌ
