Switching to Printify: FAQs
To transfer products to Printify, you need to recreate each product using our Product Creator. Once you’ve added your design, you can publish the new listing to your store.
For a seamless switch, use the same titles and SEO tags as your old Gelato listings before deleting them.
Direct order transfer isn’t automated, but you can manually enter any pending Gelato order into Printify. This ensures no customers are left waiting during the migration.
Simply select the product in our Catalog, upload the artwork, and input the customer shipping information for fulfillment.
The best approach is to keep your Gelato listings active until the new Printify versions are ready. Once you’ve added the Printify products to your channel, you can swap them out one by one.
This method ensures your website never shows an out-of-stock message to visitors.
If your products don’t appear after making the switch, check your integration settings. Ensure your store is correctly linked in the Printify dashboard.
Sometimes, a quick refresh of your sales channel connection is needed to access the newly published product data and sync it correctly.
Transparency is key when switching print-on-demand providers. You don’t need to mention specific brand names, but informing customers that you’ve added new fulfillment partners for faster shipping or better quality is a great move.
They will love the improved experience, and it builds long-term trust.
The time required depends on your product count. For a store with 20 items, the Printify setup for Gelato users usually takes a few hours.
A common mistake is rushing the design upload; take your time to ensure every listing looks perfect, maximizing your SEO performance.
