Abysmal. Avoid. Overpriced. And really poor customer service.

Awful, just awful! No phone #, no merchant service. They remind me of the merchants from the 1850's selling to gold miners. No gold miner ever made money, but the people who sold them the dream certainly did. I can't wait to find other providers, keep inventory, ANYTHING, to get away from Printify. Build your store on something else.

probably some of the worst customer service I have ever had, I was informed a package shipped, but that's all.... When I asked when I'll see the full info for my customer, so I could get him an ETA, they said to wait a full 7 days after shipping, if the info's not there by then, contact printify again. So we waited the full seven days, contacted them again asking for the shipping info, and again we were feed a line that it takes longer for that info to show, contradicting what the first rep told us, then a supervisor jumped in and said it could take even longer to get that info, and our package would arrive in November. When I asked him how he knows the arrival time, as we haven't see a single thing on the tracking links provided, he didn't really have an answer... and repeated his lie to me again about it taking a month or more for it to arrive, when all we wanted was the tracking info for our customer. Than I asked why a shipment from the US to Canada that shows being shipped, but has no tracking would take over a month to arrive? as well as pointing out and sending in screenshots from the first customer service rep we talked to saying contact them in seven days if the info wasn't there... I asked him who I was supposed to believe? because the answer changes every time i ask, that's about the time I was ghosted and stopped receiving responses from the "supervisor" All we wanted was tracking info for our customer so he would know if what he ordered was going to show up in time or not to give as a gift, we never said I need the package to arrive now! etc. We just wanted to get a proper ETA for our customer. Why is that so hard? All we needed was an E.T.A. UPDATE We contacted the company our order supposedly shipped with and gave them the tracking number we were provided, they told us they have not received the shipment, and that there was only a waybill created in the system. This proved that Printify full on lied to us about our shipment and the information we were looking for. When I provided them this information, and called them out on the lie... They stopped communicating with us. All this trouble just to get the proper shipping information for our customer. Save yourself the trouble and use someone else.

AVOID THESE PEOPLE, THEY TOOK MY MONEY FROM MY PAYONEER ACCOUNT AFTER NOT FULFILING THE ORDER. THEY SAID I CANT GET MY MONEY BACK, WITHOUT NOT INFORMING ME PRIOR. THIS IS THE HIGHEST SCAM IN THE HISTORY OF ALL SCAM. I WANT MY MONEY BACK PRINTIFY OR I WILL KEEP TELLING PEOPLE OF HOW YOU TOOK MY MONEY AND YET CANCELED MY ORDER.

We placed a sample order to see the quality of the product. The hoodie printing was off and the garment looked wet from the shoulders down as it was a different color where the logo was printed. When we reached out to Printify we had no response for several days, save for auto-emails that think they've found the solution and attempt to give you the brush off so there is no need for human assistance. After one week and multiple messages the issue was finally resolved. This response time is unacceptable given today's 24-7 shopping environment. We weren't expecting immediate resolution, however had this been a customer's order and the customer reaches out to you, and you reach out to the third-party provider about the fourth-party product... it's you who looks like the idiot because you can't give basic answers re: their order. That is not a risk we're willing to take as we insist on quality customer service. As such, yes, we uninstalled this app after our one and only issue with its customer service. If this was a one-off experience (however their service rep confirmed they're bogged down and can't handle the correspondence volume) we might've stuck around. Our parent company, who has other Shopify stores, immediately uninstalled Printify, unwilling to jeopardize their respective customer service experiences.

I wish I could give this 5 stars. I wanted to so bad. I feel like it could be a really good product. The problem is, it doesn't do anything it advertises from what I can tell. I tried listing a shirt with a few variants and for whatever reason, it will not display any stock available. I've checked the settings multiple times in the app and it still doesn't work. I've been on hold waiting for a support agent to answer chat for over 2 HOURS! and no response. Unfortunately, any email to support has also gone unanswered. I'm looking for another app, and I'd suggest you do as well.

Printify does not allow sellers to leave a rating and a review of the products on their platform. I wasted money sampling Printify tshirts, only to find that each was of very poor quality. It would have saved time and money if there were reviews of products in their catalog, but per their tech support: "Unfortunately, we do not offer the option to leave a review for the products in our Catalog". I don't recommend Printify - at the moment their t-shirt product quality is just not good, and there is no way to see ratings or reviews of the other products in their catalog, so I have to assume they are also poor quality and a waste of money and time.

really bad, does NOT work photos and edits do not sync over very disappointing set up new product and advertised and then Printify said they could not provide

June 10, 2023

Constantly having problems. First Printify changed in such a way that color swatches disappeared- it took my team almost a week to fix, with Printify unable to identify the problem. Now out of the blue when you try to save just the description to Shopify, Printify is overwriting everything, titles, mockups, etc. Their constant issues are causing us 100’s of hours of repeated work, and resulting in delays in opening our store - thus causing their print providers to lose sales. We may have to put in 100’s more hours and more away from printify. They don’t do the printing, only provide an interface- and if they can’t reliably offer that, then they have nothing!

Printify is garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They cancelled my account without any warning...you can't get a direct answer from customer support! I had multiple orders that needed to be fulfilled and they left me holding the bag without any response.....I would not use this company to grow my store....they are inconsistent and their customer service is garbage....STAY AWAY FROM PRINTIFY ....Update 1/13/23 - I have submitted all documents to verify my account days ago. What I don't understate is why would Printify let me place multiple orders previously and not verify my account? Then out of the blue and without warning you ask me to send documents to verify my account!! I sent multiple emails with the required information to Printify... no one has responded to help me. When I talk with chat support they give me the same response..."They will forward my information to Merchant Support" .....WHAT???? No one can go into the system and look at my account to see what's going on??? REALLY??? Very unprofessional and complete chaos!! My customers have placed orders and my reputation is ruined because I can't see what is going on. I am an American merchant so my account should be easily verified.

A year ago I contacted Printify and expressed concern that all the kids models for the products that I was selling in my store were white. That was the default. My brand celebrates Black culture, so it's a bit inauthentic for me to have a white baby wearing a shirt that affirms Blackness. I asked customer service if there were Black models and they said no. One year later, nothing has changed. Sad.

UPDATED 10/9/23 In response to a dreadful customer service experience our sister company had, we've immediately uninstalled this app and will not jeopardize our customer satisfaction by using this third-party provider that sells fourth-party products. If your store is committed to timely interactions and positive experiences with customers, avoid this app at all costs. Don't be left hanging with angry customers demanding answers while you look foolish because you're waiting for days on end from the Printify support team. Scroll the other review responses from Printify where the company confirms they can't manage all of the messages they get from Shopify merchants. Only use this app if you want to be left in the dark about your customers' orders and look the fool because you can't give them timely answers and resolutions. - ORIGINAL: App is useless, website is useless (copying and pasting directly from the Shopify dashboard it doesn't recognize our store email address so we can't log onto their main site), Twitter "support" has gone nowhere. We have had a customer asking for two days the status of his order and have no answers. He ordered two items. It showed that both fulfillments were requested and that one was in production expected to ship tomorrow. The other was requested but there was no information anywhere except for his actual Shopify order. Tweeted Printify for help almost 24 hours ago (since we can't get into their website) and there is still no answer on the status of this order. It appears that one of the items - the one scheduled to ship tomorrow -- has been cancelled now. We have no idea what's happening with the order and have no information to give to the customer. Maybe this type of customer service is acceptable to Printify -- and based on reviews and social media comments it's clearly not working -- but this level of service doesn't cut it nowadays. Highly recommend using Printify if you want to feel powerless in your customer service delivery and looking like an idiot when you know nothing about their order. This is his first experience with our store and since Monday (today is Wednesday) we haven't been able to answer basic questions like: How long will it take for my order? Reason being: We don't even know if his order has been placed, or in production, or cancelled. Buyer beware.

DO NOT USE THIS APP!!! THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY, AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP YOU. If I could, I would give them zero stars! I signed up for an account in July. They allowed me to make multiple products, order multiple samples and place products on my website to be available for purchase. Fast forward to November, they send me an email saying my account is under review for verification failure. I verified my email according to the instructions in their settings. They are demanding me to show them the following: 1. Picture of yourself holding a valid ID or passport 2. A valid proof of address – such as a utility bill (water, electricity, internet), a bank or a credit card statement, or an insurance letter (invoices are not accepted). Your name, address, and date (no older than 3 months) must be visible. 3. Credit card/s used under your account – to provide evidence of the associated card ownership, please send us a photo of yourself next to each card that was used on your Printify account. For security reasons, please make sure to hide all digits apart from the last four digits of the card number and cover the 3 digit CVC number. I basically told them no, because it is an extreme invasion of privacy, not to mention a huge inconvenience and disruption to my business. I've already ordered multiple samples and placed the products on my website to be available for purchase. I've completed the email verification under the settings menu. These things should be enough verification without you needing to see my personal information, and putting my finances at risk while handling such sensitive information. They suspended my account, and I will never do business with them again! And you shouldn't either!

Beware, Using Printify has become a dangerous gamble for your business. Printify had a glitch from Sept 1st - Sept 10th, 2022, where ANY order with multiple lines had only ONE item printed and sent. But they marked every order as COMPLETELY fulfilled and customers were sent tracking information for the FULL order but received only one item. Now imagine this time X amount of orders in this 10-day period. There was NO merchant help except sending cancellation emails two weeks after the fact. I spent hours chatting with customer service and begging for help and to actually figure out which items were actually shipped. The agents were all nice enough but Printify wasn't going to offer any real support to many, many botched orders besides issuing a refund for the unproduced items. Honestly, it's a disaster and they could care less about the merchants or how it affects small businesses. After a nearly 2-hour chat, one kind agent was able to have my replacement orders upgraded with expedited shipping as an exception. But today I find out that they have not placed priority shipping on the orders, and have actually disabled the help chat. This is the perfect example of how little they care. I'm hoping multiple merchants will help report them to Shopify for their lack of service.

Good pricing but inconsistent results. I had many print quality issues with their providers. As they are essentially the middle person between you and the printer getting issues resolved was very labored and at times not possible. More importantly, when building a brand you cannot afford poor quality results or inconsistency both of which were issues with printify. If you are looking for a quick profit then Printify may work as the pricing is good. I rather pay the additional costs with Printful, who is not a middle 'man' and actually produces your product, or pay the upfront costs and order in bulk from a good screen-printer. The quality I have found more consistent.

Printify users, be aware if you're dealing with items that take over 30 days to deliver, you may be out of luck if things go sour. This company will lie directly to you and try and get away with it. We have a small store for our gaming community and some people had been waiting for dog tags to arrive (they no longer sell this item, I wonder why...) These had been ordered in December but due to the shipping crisis and also because the customers are in SEA, it had taken months for things to arrive. Fast forward to today, we had a conversation in our Discord about the items and it had come to my attention that 6 of the buyers had still not received theirs after 5 months. Printify then went on to feed me a story about how they can't follow it up because shipping companies reuse the tracking numbers in that time frame (this is a lie, it takes years for this to happen) and would only offer a refund if it was in the 30-day window. After some complaining, they went on to say they will only offer a refund on two of the items. While this isn't much money, and in the end, I don't care about the money at all, it's the principle of how they handled it and tried to get away with lying to me about how logistics companies quickly reuse tracking numbers. This is apparently the reason why they can't follow this up from their end. All they had to do, is refund me the small amount, I would have gladly left my subscription intact and it would have been a review about how they handled the situation. I'm not going to pay for items that 100% were never produced or shipped. I have had multiple issues now with them now due to items being marked as shipped and they hadn't been slow shipping and terrible print quality. Steer clear!

Before the holiday season, I had a mostly positive experience with Printify. However, during the 2021 BFCM and holiday season, I had an abysmally horrible experience. I had around 200 hundred sweatshirt orders that said they had been marked "shipped" from the print provider. I assumed that to be the case. Then I began getting emails daily from customers saying they had been waiting for their orders for weeks, and there were no tracking updates since the initial scan. I reached out to Printify, and at first they were helpful in setting up replacement orders and deeming packages lost in transit after 7 days. However, by mid-December, I was receiving around 25 emails per day from customers that they were not receiving orders and didn't have tracking updates. It was very clear this was a bigger issue and that something was going on with this print provider - it seemed they were printing labels, marking them shipped, and then just not shipping products, for whatever reason. I reached out via the customer service chat, but they continued to make me submit an issue for every order individually, rather than acknowledging something was going on here. I compiled a list of around 200 orders that were "lost in transit" and sent to their customer service team, hoping this would reach someone higher up, or directly to the print provider. However, they continually passed me off to different customer service agents, acting as if each order was an isolated incident, and made me submit around 200 individual issues for orders lost. The nail in the coffin for me was when in the middle of all of this, they changed their policy on deeming packages lost to be 14 BUSINESS days after the last tracking update. So, I had to tell my customers they had to wait almost 3 weeks, during the HOLIDAYS, before I could reship their package. Most customers did not receive their orders in time for Christmas, even when they were well within the holiday cutoff date, and some even accused me of lying about shipping packages since they received no updates after the label was created. Printify did absolutely nothing to make this right, and never gave me insight into what happened. Months later, I received an email from the owner of the print provider that I had issues with, apologizing for the disaster and asking if he could do anything to make it right. I assume they reached out after noticing the drop in sales after I stopped using them (and never will again). Would have been great to be in touch with them when this was all happening, since they were clearly aware it was happening. Overall, a horrible experience, and Printify never made an attempt to make it right.

If you’re looking to do embroidery, stay away. Im not sure i can convey just how bad the experince has been. They are not able to tell you why something "fails" digitsiation. Just that it does. The poor communication and what feels like constantly shifting embroidery guidelines make it unusable. You can submit a simple design a simple as three large uppercase letters (e.g., “ABC”) and have it approved - then submit the exact same design with different letters (e.g., “DEF”) and have it fail without any useful explanation. We check each design and all meet the guidelines so when you get told "does not meet" it woud be somewhat helpful if they could say "what part" does not meet . All you're told is: “Digitization failed for the embroidery. Please update the design to meet the embroidery criteria.” We only submit designs that already meet the stated embroidery criteria, so when we ask, “Can you be more specific?” we either get no response, or the reply contradicts the embroidery guidelines. Example 1 – Polo Shirts: We ordered samples of three different polo shirts to compare shirt quality and embroidery. Immediately, there were issues. We were advised: • Front Print – Digitized Successfully • Right Sleeve – Digitized Successfully (this included multiple lines of text, complex script, and an image of an aircraft) • Left Sleeve – Digitization Failed The left sleeve simply had a 1” x 2” rectangle. We were told it was “too complex.” Yes, apparently a rectangle is too complex. When we pointed out that the other sleeve included an aircraft shape and complex script (clearly more detailed), we were then told the sleeve was “unsuitable for filled designs.” We referred them to their own embroidery guidelines, which say nothing about filled designs being unsuitable. In fact, it specifically mentions that small gaps will be filled, and advises to “keep your design simple.” You know, like a rectangle? I don’t think a shape gets any simpler. Nearly a week later, we still have no clarity on why it failed. As far as we can tell, it meets all the criteria. Thankfully this was only a sample - imagine a customer dealing with this. (Which, when you think about it, we are too.) Example 2 – Embroidered Caps: • Cap 1 – Featured 3 capital letters – approved, no issues. • Cap 2 – Same design, different letters – rejected. Order cancelled. We were told: “Digitization failed for the embroidery. Reason for rejection: Small Shape/Text.” We asked, “Can you be more specific - which shape or text is the issue?” Their reply: “We are currently in touch with the team responsible for the embroidery process and will keep you informed with any updates.” We referred them to the Cap 1 order, which used the exact same layout and was approved. The next day, we were told: “Your order had to be cancelled and refunded to allow for production to continue.” What the...? We still have no idea why it failed - awaiting response. I was hoping Printify embroidery would be a good alternative to Printful. While Printify is slightly more expensive, it doesn’t charge a digitization fee like Printful does. But clearly, that comes at a huge cost in frustration and reliability. Their other products and support are great (5 stars), but the appalling experience we are having and the time wasted with embroidery is beyond words.
