They are to big. Support picks up just fine but if you have an issue it turns over to email which as they said "Quick Reply... 24 - 48 Hours". So if an issue need back and forth response it turns into days. Meanwhile your customer is waiting and sometimes you have to cancel. Not good for business. Meanwhile your kinda stuck.

I linked my store with Printful and now I can't gain acesss to the Printful account... I'm logged into Shopify and see all my Pintful products however when I try to edit them on Printful it redirects me to a Printful login page.. When I login using my Shopify email I'm met with an empty account with no stores and products... when I try to link this to my Shopify it tells me to download the app via Shopify's Admin.,.. which I already did. Hence why I already have products... Nowhere on Shopify will it tell me the login info for my Prinful.

Su nueva herramienta para Mockups generados por IA no funciona. La utilizo para los Hoodies All-Over Print y la imagen generada es igual a la del modelo que se escoge como referencia a pesar de que especifico un color diferente de cabello y el fondo de una ciudad.

I synced an item to my store during one of their promotions, well within the right time frame. I reached out via chat because I hadn’t received the discount code I should have. Despite the promotion still being active, they took 2 days to respond. When they finally replied, they falsely claimed my product wasn’t synced until that day, which is simply untrue. I can prove it from the chat transcript showing when I first contacted them. It feels like they purposely avoided honoring the promotion and providing the discount code, which is incredibly disappointing. Would not recommend this service based on such dishonesty.

Customer service is absolutely frustrating and non-helpful at all when you really need help with trying to disconnect an old, inactive store without any orders or payment info stored and connect a new one. I haven't had such a frustrating process with customer 'support' for a long time and it's still not fixed.

Considering that Printful is the top POD and the longest in the industry as far as I know, based in the US, I thought I'd give them a try. However, using their app has been unnecessarily stressful, and trying to ask for help has been even more stressful. No wonder I see most people prefer to go to Reddit for their questions instead of asking the creators of the app. When I encounter issues with other apps, even if they are free or low-cost, the support teams always go above and beyond to solve the issue. They provide assistance through screenshots, video sharing, and even access to the website backend to fix the problem. It’s easy to see how passionate they are about their app. However, my experience with Printful has been different, leading me to distrust their service for selling high-value products to customers. Despite explaining which product type I’m working on and providing screenshots, their responses often seem off the mark. For instance, I had a question about t-shirt mockups being blurry and whether this would reflect on the physical product. I provided a screenshot, but the response I received made me think I was talking to a chatbot: "It seems you have sent the wrong file," despite me clarifying that it was indeed my design. Imagine thinking your design is an error just because it's not “common.” I also spent hours trying to get their canvas sizes right and ensure they bleed properly by editing images with the mockups I downloaded from their website to mirror edges. I did this for each size in their mockups for the canvas, but still had issues with each size image sticking to its respective size variant and not overlaying on the other sizes. After providing screenshots as usual, I got a response hours later asking, "Tell me what's the name of the t-shirt you're working on so I can see what’s the issue." This is frustrating, to say the least. Our time should be taken seriously. I also had to install another paid app just to combine different products that are relevant so I don’t have to create multiple listings for the same product, like framed canvas and canvas. This has been incredibly frustrating, and after spending days trying to configure things without adequate guidance, not a single product has been pushed to my store because their system doesn’t work properly and their agents seem indifferent. LMAO even their responses to reviews on the shopify store is "indifferent," just take a read. This reflects their customer service as well. Update: Changed to 1 star, still no one is helping. They provide vague instructions telling you to download their size mockup guide for each canvas size to resize your design to each specific size. Yet they don't have the option to apply a separate image for each size, making their mockups useless, which makes mirroring edges impossible unless each product is just applied to one size. Separate file images/sizes should be allowed to be added to each size, we are not customers buying 1 size for ourselves but we are a dropshipping print on demand, their service and tools have yet to reflect that. Not sure where all the high ratings are coming from.

It is appalling in its vague and pathetic instructions to using it. It says you can connect multiple stores but I tried connecting another shopify store (on a separate shopify account) and it was not possible. And there's much more to dislike but I can't be bothered if you can't be bothering finding out what is obviously wrong for yourselves.

Products do not upload properly. If I make changes to a listing I have to delete it and start over to hopefully get it right. I'm changing to printify hoping that solves the problem.

Printful's integration with shopify is the worst! I'm not a knobb and I'm well versed in front end development, but linking printful with shopify is impossible, it keeps saying "connect store" that link leads to a vicious annoying cycle where you keep hoping between printful and shopify whil nothing is happening!
