Printfulâs warehousing and fulfillment service
[7]
means you can store your non-Printful products
at our warehouse, for example, stationery,
[12]
accessories, clothing, books and other things.
[15]
And when orders for those products come in,
we pack and ship them to your customer.
[20]
Currently we can store your items at our Charlotte
fulfillment center and our Europe location
[24]
in Riga, Latvia.
[26]
So letâs look at how you can start using
this service.
[28]
Now, in your Printful dashboard up here youâll
see the âwarehouseâ tab.
[32]
Letâs click on it and here, the first thing
we see is the inventory tab.
[37]
This is where youâll see all your warehouse
items.
[39]
Now, letâs go through the steps of adding
a product.
[42]
How this works is - you submit a request of
approval for an item and then it goes through
[46]
a review process.
[48]
We ask you to submit the products for a review
first, because we have to be certain weâll
[51]
be able to store them.
[52]
We have to be sure that we have enough space
to store the particular products and that
[56]
weâll be able to fulfill orders for these
products when they come in.
[59]
So, before submitting your request, make sure
you go through our terms of service page here,
[63]
where you can read on what products we wonât
be able to accept.
[68]
The approval process is manual and usually
takes about 2 business days.
[72]
So, to add a product request, hit âadd newâ
here and you have to fill in this form with
[77]
information about your item.
[79]
For this example weâll add a mug.
[81]
First letâs add the product photo and the
title.
[83]
Weâll call it âMotivation Mugâ.Next
up you can add your an SKU for this item,
[87]
if youâve set one.
[88]
And here set the retail price.
[91]
Now add the dimensions - the width and length,
height and weight.
[96]
Take note that these dimensions should represent
the item when itâs folded or packaged for
[100]
mailing.
[101]
You can also choose the units in which you
want to add the dimensions - the imperial
[105]
or metric scale.
[107]
And also, if you want to stock a product thatâs
already packaged for shipping, tick this box
[111]
here.
[112]
And next up, if you have different variations
for this item - different sizes, colors, materials
[116]
or others, you can add those variants here.
[119]
And once youâve filled in all the details
for this product, you can either save it as
[122]
a draft or submit it for approval.
[124]
Weâll hit âaddâ and now we wait for
up to 2 business days to see if our item has
[129]
been approved or rejected.
[130]
Youâll receive an email informing you of
the decision.
[133]
Now, once your item has been approved, youâll
see itâs status will have changed to âapprovedâ
[137]
here and also youâll be able to find it
under the âSubmissionsâ tab here.
[141]
And now you can mail this item to us.
[143]
So if we move on to the âShipmentsâ tab,
here youâll be able to submit your shipments
[147]
to us and follow along their status.
[149]
Currently we offer warehousing at our Charlotte
fulfillment center in North Carolina and our
[153]
Europe location in Riga, Latvia.
[156]
So depending on where you want to stock your
products, youâll have to mail them out to
[159]
one of these addresses.
[161]
If you order your goods from a third party
source like a wholesale facility or a factory,
[165]
you can arrange the shipment to come from
there directly to us.
[168]
However, you are still responsible for the
contents of the shipment.
[171]
You have to be sure that the products included
in the shipment correspond to the information
[175]
about them that youâve provided to us.
[177]
Now, once youâve mailed the products, you
should let us know that the shipmentâs on
[180]
its way.
[181]
So letâs add a new shipment.
[183]
Hit âAdd new shipmentâ and here, choose
the product youâre sending over to us.
[187]
Hit âAdd productâ and weâll choose the
mug we added previously and here add the quantity
[191]
of the item youâve shipped to us.
[193]
Letâs say Iâve sent out 30 of these mugs.
[196]
Also, If youâve included different items
from your approved products in this shipment,
[200]
add another product by clicking this button.
[202]
Now, once youâve added all your products,
hit âcontinueâ.
[206]
In this window you can choose the fulfillment
facility youâve sent your items to - Our
[209]
warehouse in Charlotte, North Carolina, or
our Europe fulfillment center in Riga, Latvia.
[214]
Iâve sent this to Charlotte, so letâs
set it here.
[217]
Next up choose your carrier and add the package
tracking number.
[220]
And hit submit.
[221]
And now youâll be able to follow along the
status of your shipment.
[224]
As you can see, the one we just added shows
up as âin transitâ here.
[228]
And once itâs arrived at our fulfillment
center and is stocked, itâll show up as
[231]
âIn Stockâ.
[233]
You can see all your stocked items and follow
along their status if you go back to âInventoryâ
[238]
and the âStockâ tab here.
[240]
Youâll also be notified by email that youâre
ready to sync your items with your store and
[244]
start selling them.
[246]
We have a tutorial on how to sync your warehouse
items with your store and an FAQ video on
[250]
how pricing works for this service, so make
sure you check those out.
[254]
