| description | Printify platform help — print-on-demand fulfillment via 140+ print providers (1,300+ products, lowest base costs) with a REST API (api.printify.com/v1, official OpenAPI spec), HMAC-signed webhooks, an API sales channel for headless stores, and connectors for Shopify/Etsy/TikTok Shop/Amazon/WooCommerce/Wix. Use when print quality varies between orders and you need to vet or switch print providers, store orders aren't reaching Printify or shipping is slower than promised, a product publish fails or hits the 200-per-30-minute publishing limit, a Printify webhook stopped firing (blocked after failed deliveries), building a headless store that creates products and submits orders via the API, verifying X-Pfy-Signature webhook payloads, hitting 429 rate limits, or deciding whether Printify Premium's ~20% base-cost discount pays off. Do NOT use for choosing between POD providers like Printful/Gelato/Gooten (use /sales-print-on-demand) or digital-product pricing and launch strategy (use /sales-digital-products). |

Printify Platform Help
Printify is a print-on-demand (POD) fulfillment broker: you design products, and Printify routes production to a network of ~141 third-party print providers — the largest catalog (1,300+ products) and lowest base costs in the category, at the price of provider-to-provider variance in quality and speed. It plugs into your storefront (Shopify, Etsy, TikTok Shop, Amazon, WooCommerce, Wix, etc.) or runs headless via its REST API.
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask only what you can't infer from the user's prompt:
-
What are you trying to do?
- A) Connect Printify to a store (Shopify/Etsy/TikTok Shop/Amazon/WooCommerce/Wix/etc.)
- B) Build a headless/custom integration via the API (create products, submit orders, webhooks)
- C) Fix a broken order, sync, publish, or webhook
- D) Pick a print provider for a product, or fix quality/shipping-speed problems
- E) Decide on a plan (Free vs Premium) or understand fees/margins
-
Auth type? Personal Access Token (single merchant, 1-year expiry) or OAuth 2.0 (platform apps, 6-hour access tokens).
Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already has enough context, go straight to Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
| If the user's question is about… | Route to |
|---|
| Which POD provider to pick (Printify vs Printful/CustomCat/Gelato/Gooten/SPOD) | /sales-print-on-demand {question} |
| Digital-product pricing, validation, launch strategy | /sales-digital-products {question} |
| Checkout-page conversion (order bumps, upsells, cart abandonment) | /sales-checkout {question} |
| Tax / Merchant-of-Record obligations on merch sales | /sales-merchant-of-record {question} |
When routing, give the exact command: "This is a {domain} question — run: /sales-print-on-demand {original question}"
Otherwise, answer Printify-specific questions directly using Step 3.
Step 3 — Printify platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — capabilities & automation surface, pricing/plan gates, data model (blueprint → print provider → variant → product → order), and quick-start recipes (upload + create + publish a product, submit and poll an order, signed shipment webhook listener).
