Thanks so much girl, so glad my video could bring you some value
Thank your for all the tips!!
Great tips! Thank you
Thank you so much Jennifer!
Sooo glad I found you, i think I might have learnt more great tips in the last week than I have done in the whole year. Bless your cotton socks! ( lol british saying for we love you :) )
I'm so glad these tips have been helpful for you!!
Great job so much great information!
So glad it was helpful, thank you for the support
Awesome content Cassiy!! Got so much value in such a short video that was AMAZING!! Best tips for me were getting as many listings posted and to sell sweatshirts! Your videos have kept me motivated and on track. I can’t thank you enough
I am so glad I could help bring some motivation Sabrina, I wish you all of the future success! You've got this
@@CassiyJohnson thank you so much. Within the last week I got my first and 2nd sale! Proof of concept was HUGE for me! Going to keep posting listings and getting after. You’re awesome thanks again!!
@@TheSabrinaBacungan Wow congrats!! This is only the beginning. The first 100 sales are the hardest so just keep your head down and stay consistent!
I’m want to thank you for all the tips. I will be starting my business soon and this information was very helpful 🥰
So excited for you to get started!! My best advice is to take a tiny baby step towards starting today. It can feel like a lot in the beginning but if you keep making those tiny steps forward at a time, then it makes it so much easier to keep moving! So open your shop today, make your first design, whatever feels like a good first step for you! You've got this girl!
Interesting points about putting items on sale. Thanks!
So glad you found some value in my video, thanks for stopping by!!
Thank you for the great tips! I never run sales but I’m going to start!!
So glad the video could help
Hi Cassiy,
I discovered your channel this morning , and I personally have never written comments on any CZcams videos ever lol. People claim to educate , rather I end up trading my time watching the entire video with very little or no gains. The information you share are so beneficial for anyone looking for side hustle opportunities! Thank you for being honest and sharing these tips!
Wow Nisha, I feel so honored that you feel that way about my videos! It really means so much to me as I have felt the same way watching most CZcams videos and really am trying to bring value in every video
Great info. Thank you!
So glad it was helpful, thanks for stopping by!
fantastic video! thank you 🙏🏽😊 you are an inspiration! very well done from London UK 🇬🇧
Wow all the way from London, welcome to my channel and thank you so much for the support!!
Thank You, Cassiy!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽
Great tips Cass!
Thanks so much Lara!!
As a new shop, I've been focusing on making as many listings as I can while learning from you on youtube on breaks :)
Congrats on starting your shop!! Thanks so much for watching, I hope my videos have been so helpful for you!!
Thank you for being honest! All the info you gave us is so helpful💛 I’ve had my shop for a month and a half and already have 13 sales which doesn’t seem like much but I will keep listing and posting every day.
Just keep at it until you find a winner, you've got this!!
You are the real deal ma’am… I truly thank God for you!!! You are so helpful and honest thank you
Wow you are so sweet Marqueta, I really really appreciate that
So much good info!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I wish I could pay you to come to my house and get me started! I'm paralyzed with fear of screwing things up!
Thanks Cassiy for this informative video.I start my PoD business this year and these suggestions are very important me as a beginner.
Congratualtions on getting started on your business Vikash!! So excited for you and I am so glad my tips and tricks have been helping
@@CassiyJohnson Thanks and absolutely i must share my POD journey.
Thank you, super helpful!
So glad you got some good tips from my video Maria, thanks for supporting my new little channel
Awesome video!!! 💕🤩💕
Thank you so much Tina, that means to much to me
Hi! This was very helpful! Do you have any videos on merely building an Etsy store with Printify for t-shirts, sweatshirts? I have some ideas! Thank you so much for giving back! :)
Hi Cassiy! I just discovered your channel today and I cannot thank you enough for all this tips and tricks that you share. It's my first time leaving a comment on a youtube video haha! ALL WORTH IT!!! Thank you for being authentic and so straight to the point and sharing these tips.
I want to start my print on demand shop too! I'm from the Philippines. Would it work selling from the Philippines in Shopify and Etsy to US or other countries? Or I can only sell within my country?
Cassiy this is awesome,your tips are great not only for POD but for other types of Etsy Stores! Thank you so much 🤗
So glad you could find some value in my video, thank you so much for the support!!
This is very helpful! Can you post a video for an absolute beginner, not so much about the shop set up, but what the first 1-10 listing products/types you recommend. Should they be the evergreen or the holiday trends? Should they be apparel of some kind or mugs? Would love to hear what your recommendation would be to start with.
I started Pinterest about two weeks ago (thanks for the tip!) and got an email from Etsy inviting me to test out a new feature because they noticed I was sending traffic from social media. So they do notice!
That's awesome!! Hope its a great new feature!!
Thank you so much, I just opened an etsy shop, I want to start a print on demand business as well, this was so helpful. Be blessed.
So glad this was helpful for you and excited for you to get started with your POD business! Go ahead and get started today, you won't regret it
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you for the push, I already opened an etsy store. I'll start posting my first listing today. Will be back again to thank you after a month, hopefully it goes well.
Hi love this! Do you have a video on how you specifically how to create a group sale on Etsy?
Hi Cassiy, I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Thank you to the moon and back for all your videos. I've been binge watching since yesterday. I love how concise and clear you make things and I especially love that you walk us through things on screen. (I'm a visual learner, 😃) Your first tip about always having a sale going was interesting, but could you explain more for me what you mean by it helps to keep the stalkers away please?
When you run a sale, it hides the amount of items you have in your cart in your store since the on sale number shows there instead!
@@CassiyJohnson Oh I get it now. Thanks Cassiy 😊
Binge watching right now!
Favourite was to go to Delivered orders to send personal message to prompt a review
Hi love ur videos and tips, thank you for sharing with us. Would love to know where to print shirts and how to do packaging and shipping across the countries
So glad you are loving my videos!! I use a Print company Printify, they print and ship all of my shirts across the US. They do offer international shipping but I don't offer the because then you have to worry about taxes/fees in other countries and need to check trademarks for all of them as well. I have a link in the description if you want to sign up for Printify, they are great!
Here is a video that shows the full process of finding a design, making a design, and then listing it onto Etsy using Printify!
czcams.com/video/pSs0nMfRqZc/video.html
Here is a video of mine that explains what print on demand is if you aren't familiar! czcams.com/video/pkakFIlHNmc/video.html it also goes over my journey starting out in 2020 on Etsy.
Thank you! 💝
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you
Thank you VM! Your videos are so helpful! I am hooked! Do you suggest taking Academy? That would speed up progress? How many listing you need to have for a constant monthly sales? How did you organize your day even with full time job so you could make all those listings fast? I think this is the key for winning. ;-)
I think the Success Academy is a great option if you are having trouble finding a way to organize your time and know what to do next, that's literally the biggest thing I got out of the course. He walks you through what to do, how to batch your time, what to focus on etc.
I was able to grow fast by like I said in this video, finding a winning design style and then making tons of new listings with it. If you have one cute design style, then every niche you find just takes a few moments to make a new design for!
Great and very useful video Cassiy. Thank you! I’m curious if you have had just as many sweatshirt sales in summer and spring as the rest of the year. I live in a generally warm climate, so it’s hard floor me to imagine.
Hi Mary! So glad you enjoyed it! Summer not as many sweatshirts unless you are selling like camping/trip themed sweatshirts. So if its summer specific clothing, maybe leave it off, but in the cooler climates, people usually like wearing a sweatshirt or hoodie at night in the spring/summer if it gets cooler out there. Just remember a lot of the country is in colder climates! Even long sleeve shirts are pretty popular. I am just starting to get into those!
@@CassiyJohnson Well it just me wonder, given that the profit may be better on sweatshirts and hoodies, if it would be an interesting idea to focus on those.
Hi Cassiy! Random Question I searched the web but cant find an answer, can a customer leave a review on an item they purchased that you no longer have as an active listing? Thank you in advance and love your videos, I'm watching all of them!
Cassiy, i just watched this video again. It's SUCH a great video!! Thank you!! I wanted to ask if you generally sell a full range of sizes and products in your listings? For example, onesie, toddler, youth t-shirt, sweatshirt, hoodie? I've seen a lot of people doing this and am curious if do this. As you sold so many sweatshirts, I'm wondering if those were in listings with other items or their own solo listings? Thank you again! Btw, you mentioned in your first video, doing a video going over your numbers from 2021. I would LOVE to see that video if you haven't done it already.
I have not gone over 2021 just yet, wasn't sure if anyone was interested but I appreciate you requesting it! I will definitely look at making that soon then if you would like to see it!
As for the multiple items in listings, NOT A CHANCE. lol Not that its bad to do it that way but that is a lot more work. I try to have my business be as automated as possible because I never know which listings are going to sell and which ones don't. So I list everything as separate listings, that way you are coming up in the search results for each item instead anyways.
The one exception to this is when I do family listings, then I do offer baby bodysuits, toddler shirts, kids shirts etc all in one listing.
@@CassiyJohnson YES! I would LOVE to see your 2021 stats. In fact, what would be even better, if you feel inspired to do it, is a video going all the way from the beginning through 2021. I know you already did 2020, but it's so inspiring and helpful to visually see and hear about the plane going up and up from the very beginning - if you know what I mean.
Haha - I love your response to the full products listings. That's why I asked!! I did one like that on Printful and then got so intimidated I didn't do it again. But I really wondered if I was leaving money on the table by not doing it, esp in one of my niches. I'm about to switch over to Printify and didn't know if maybe it was easier. Anyway, thank you again.
I was thinking this morning how great it is to have a female mentor and someone with integrity. :)
@@marys.5050 Switching to Printify has been such a good decision for me, it will take a minute to get used to it but you will love the faster shipping and lower prices for sure!
So happy I can help other female entrepreneurs
Thank you very for the video and for sharing all these tips..
Could you please share how do you design the shirt? Do you use a specific design tool (Canva, photoshop, etc)? Or you find ready designs on the internet?
Thanks in advance!
Hello! In the beginning I was designing anywhere from 1-50 designs per day! Now I am much more focused on growing my CZcams channel and probably have posted 50-100 new items this year so far but still have made the same or more as I did this time last year. I use Canva to design all of my designs now and really love using their platform!
Hi Cassidy. Again, thank you for your videos. I am off today, so I am binge watching all of your content! Love everything so far! Question: I see so many great custom tshirts on sale for $8-$12. How do I compete against those, if I charge $24? Am I missing something? Not all of those are ads?
Hi Janice!! Thanks for binge watching my channel, I am so glad you are enjoying my videos!! And for your question, that is just click bait. Usually only 1 size in 1 color is that price and the rest are $16.99 plus $8 in shipping.
Great video! What's your Etsy shop so we can support?
love it✨✨✨✨
My favorite tip was to make group shirts! I will have to try some. Maybe you could do a video on how to list them?
So glad you're going to try it! I'll post a video about it on Friday
@@CassiyJohnson awesome can't wait!!
The problem that beginners struggle with (including me) is how to find a niche and how to break it down so that you have a chance of being found.
Would you show in a video how this works and how you can do it without paid tools?
These are great questions! I will definitely see how I can frame this in a video in the future because I don't use any paid tools currently at all. I would definitely recommend watching my 3 most profitable niches video if you haven't yet. Don't feel the need to constantly be finding new niches to try. I mainly stick to the 3 in the video I shared and then just slowly find different ways to "niche down" like find a sub category that those people would also like but there isn't as much competition for those shirts. So for mom shirts, maybe making a mom + grandma shirt, or mom + dogs shirt, mom + knitting shirts etc.
The coolest thing about Etsy is every person has a personalized Etsy feed when they search, based on items they've looked at in the past and items that the seller may be geographically close to them. So you really do have a chance of being found in any niche. Just need to make sure you have great designs and great mockups for when they do find you !
Can you make a video focusing on how you create group shirt listings?
Here are a few videos I made on how to do group listings!
czcams.com/video/t18osdsmJKM/video.html
czcams.com/video/Tm_L3xkNPHg/video.html
I have been using both Printful and Printify as I can't commit haha Printful is was easier to use. What shipper do you suggest the most? You've mentioned a couple but I keep missing them!
Thank you 😊
You are so welcome Sheila, thank you for your support of my new little channel!!

@@CassiyJohnson Thanks Cassiy, I will finish my Etsy Shop and then sign up for a 1:1 review with you!
Hi Cassiy, I really appreciate all the work you put into these videos for us ❤️❤️ I have a question about having you shop always on sale. How long a period do you set your sales for? A 24hr sale to increase urgency? Or a weekly sale?
I do monthly sales personally but have heard of people having good success doing them daily and changing the amounts of the % off as well! So try some different things and see what works best for you!
@@CassiyJohnson thank you!! So if you sell tees for $25, is that the sale price? Do you do free shipping on those, or add shipping?
GREAT!!!
So glad you liked it
Thanks for great video. Would you mind to talk more in detail about process with custom orders? :-ň
Hi Barbara! Here's a link to my video on custom listings czcams.com/video/HWIfZfXGuMI/video.html I hope you find it helpful!
Hi Cassiy! Love the content on your channel. Quick question... Do you run a sale on ALL t-shirts or just pick and choose? If I had 100 listed items, I'd hate to go in product by product to change the prices.
Hello! I run a sale on all of the listings at the same time, but you do get to pick what to put on sale by which category you have them in on your Etsy shop, so you could easily put on sale all Halloween items for example if they were all in a Halloween folder in your shop!
@@CassiyJohnson Got it, thanks! Really enjoying all the tips and tricks.
You are so helpful, thank you for doing these video's!! Would you do a video on how to run ad's, or how you do it. I'm sure its a no brainer but I am afraid I'll do it wrong and be charged thousands, lol!!
So glad you enjoyed the video! I'm sure I can do some kind of video about ads but there isn't a ton to it.
1. Find out how much profit you make on average per item
2. Start ads for only the items you are already selling, start with whatever you are comfortable with. $5, $10, $20/day, you get to pick and they'll never spend more than that in a day!
3. Check daily/weekly how much money you are spending per sale. Go to your Etsy ads and then click on Manage advertised listings. If you are spending $20/sale on one shirt, and you only make $8 profit per shirt, then you want to turn ads for that product off. Another shirt might only be spending $4/sale, so its a good deal!
Hope that at least gives you a little preview in the meantime!
@@CassiyJohnson You are so awesome, I'm so happy for your success and so glad you have a channel, you are so easy to listen too!! Thanks for the tips!
Hi Cassiy. Do you have a recommendation for the brands of sweatshirt you like best? I don't think I have seen that in any of your other videos yet. Thanks again for all the information!
I found your answer down below in the questions/reply. thank you!
So glad you found the answer, I'll make a review video on them soon too!!
Thank you again for great tips. I do have a question, when doing custom orders either a mug or T-shirt, how do I customize it for printify so that the printer doesn’t create my generic mock-up?
This video has been the greatest help. I watch as many as I can. By far your content is easy to use and actionable right away.
I can see you going very far with your videos and even offering a course at some point.
Truly thankful.
I really appreciate your kind words Jeffrey! I made a whole video on how to do personalized orders, here's the link for you! czcams.com/video/HWIfZfXGuMI/video.html
Thank you!!!
Hi Cassiy - you inspire me to start my own store. Did you start your business with a DBA? Just wondering what the pros/cons and what is best with Etsy online.
I started my business just with my own social security number and filed it with my own taxes.
First of all, thanks for the awesome content and helpful information. I am just in the process of opening a store.
One question about Printify. If I change the price of all my t-shirt listings in a bulk in my Etsy store, for example all plus 2 dollars, can Printify sync that, or does the price change have to be done on the Printify site? If so, do you have to go into each listing?
Thanks for your reply.
Hello! You can bulk edit the price just in Etsy. The price you sell your shirts for on Etsy does not affect Printify in anyway. Hope that helps!
Keep up the great content. When you do sweatshirts, do you the same design as your Tshirts? I am just wondering the best approach whether when making a new T-shirt listing, to make a sweatshirt listing at the same time or whether to wait to see if the T-shirt is selling and if it is, go ahead and list a similar design Sweatshirt.
It's all up to you Patrick, Personally, I sold more sweatshirts than t-shirts in 2021 so I put pretty much everything on a sweatshirt as well as a t-shirt right when I post it. Then if it sells a few times then that's when I post more color versions, add to a mug or tote bag etc. whatever makes sense!
@@CassiyJohnson Awesome 👍
Hi there, so I'totally new in this. And I'm learning a lot of your Videos. I have to check all the taxes and coast for my country Switzerland. I would like to be in contact with you, if I have some spezific questions. Thanks for your inspiration. Best wishes from here.
Hey Cassie! I love your videos you’re so helpful ❤ I was wondering, about the sales, do we raise the prices on printify and then start the sale or do we raise the prices on Etsy and then do the sale or does that matter? I hope that makes sense lol
Hi Belen! Thanks so much for watching! It is easier to change the prices on Etsy rather than Printify. When you’re on your Etsy Dashboard looking at your listings, there’s the toolbar at the top where you can select everything on each page, then click Editing Options and select Edit Prices. I hope that helps, wishing you all the best!! ❤️
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you so much, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you take the time to respond to so many of us ❤️
When you say “sweatshirts” what does that include? Hoodies and ? Thanks for your content!!
I just mean like the unisex Gildan 18000 sweaters mainly!
Hi Cassiy! Thank you so much for these tips, going to launch my first ever print on demand store on Etsy soon and these tips are an absolute gold for me! Because of you i’m now considering adding sweatshirts to my product list. Can iask, how much profit do you make on sweatshirts and how much do you sell them for?
I'd be happy to answer that for you! I sell my sweatshirts for $35.00, I use Printify and pay for the premium account, and I use Monster Digital to make my sweatshirts. I use the Gildan 18000 sweaters and the cost for those is $12.86 + $8.00 shipping = $20.86 for costs.
So profit per sweatshirt is about $14.14 before Etsy fees and taxes. Printify premium gives you a discount on every item you sell from $1 - $3 per item off. It costs $29/month so its really worth it once you are selling 20-30 items per month consistently.
@@CassiyJohnson woww. You’re really such an amazing helpful person, thank you so much for this very detailed response Cassiy! Sweatshirts really provides higher profit than what i’m planning to sell which is canvas tote bag, after fees, ads and free shipping. I could only get $4-$5. Would definitely sell sweatshirts soon! Thanks again! 💞
@@lucasgrey3388 So glad I could help, excited for you to get started!! The nice things about tote bags, is if you put professions on there for designs, a lot of times people will buy 10+ of them for coworkers/employees! Same with Mugs and Accessory Pouches.
How do you do group items when you're doing POD? If you're selling homemade items, then it's easy to do one listing with multiple products, but obviously that doesn't work with the POD integration.
I made up some St. Paddy's shirts, and since PlaceIt had some St. Paddy's mockups with several people in them, I did do a photo with my main design and an alternative design in it and put a note that if you liked the alternative, it was also available for purchase.
That was the only way I could come up with "grouping" POD stuff. (Or do mockups that contain a shirt and a mug if you're selling both.)
Great questions Keri! I actually made a whole video on how to do this with printify, its actually pretty easy! Here's the link o that video. czcams.com/video/t18osdsmJKM/video.html
It doesn't cover every scenario but I might make another video soon about some of the different types of listings you can make! Hope this helps but let me know if you have questions!
Good tips. I do have to add that it may be illegal to run a perpetual sale in some markets. It's considered fraudulent marketing.
Thanks for the heads up, I've never though about that before!
Hi Cassiy. I am about to start selling on etsy. First of all, love all your videos and they have been very helpful. I am a realtor and due to recent changes that has affect the industry, I had to reinvent myself. so... I ma happy but nervous. My questions to you are the following?
1- what app do you use for your financials ( track sales, most sale products, profit/loss).
2- I have sent samples of my designs to get feedback and possibly reviews, now, if I sent it directly from printify, can I still get a review that will be reflected in my different platforms?
3- does etsy shipp to other countries? if so, how do ypu calculate shipping?
4- Do you have all your orders set up manually, automatically or you can choose different set up for different products?
I will really really appreciate your help. thanks again for all you do. Blessings
Hey congrats on getting started, I'm glad you found POD when you needed it like I did!
1. I made my own excel document to track everything, here is a link to it for sale if you want it, it's $20 www.cassiyjohnson.com/offers/MzHSQtPx
2. You can not get reviews on your shop unless someone bought them directly from your Etsy store
3. You can ship to other countries but I have decided not too, I'd recommend avoiding this at first until you can do your own research on VAT fees, shipping times/costs
4. I have all my printify orders automatically go through every morning at 10am! You have to pick either manual or automatic. If it's a custom listing that is not synced to Etsy (This is when you start the listing in etsy instead of starting it in printify) then it will show up in your "other orders" tab and you can fulfill these whenever you want.
Hope this helps and best of luck!
For sweatshirts is it an evergreen item? You are in Spring the soon after summer, will sweatshirts still sell during these season suppose to the winter season
Hi Janeen! Yes people still buy sweatshirts in the Spring/Summer. Some people just like them better. And in the Northern half of the US, it gets pretty cool most nights other than 2-3 months out of the year. Camping themed sweatshirts in the summer are actually a super hot niche ;)
Good
Thanks Bakhshio!
Thank you Cassiy for your awesome videos! I am struggling because the actual listing part takes a very long time. Everyone is putting sweatshirts, unisex tees, long sleeve shirts, vneck shirts, youth shirts, toddler shirts, baby shirts, and bodysuits in their listings with tons of color. That is a ton of SKU's to copy over. Is there a hack I am missing or do you do something different?
When selling on POD it just doesn't make as much sense to add all those variations to every listing like some other sellers do. I just don't do that! I sell each item in it's own listing. Etsy is a numbers game and if you just do things really efficiently, then you will have time to make more designs and will end up making more sales!
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you so much!! I have been spinning my wheels for over a month due to the thought of the best way to tackle those gigantic variations. You broke a stressor free!! I am so glad to have found your content!! Keep doing what you are doing!! You are amazing!!
Thank you so much for all of these videos. I have been putting everything I am taking from these into practice.
I do have a quick question. My shop is new - only 19 sales and three reviews. Two are five star reviews and one is a four star review. The customer said the print was wonderful but the onesie was poor quality (rabbit skins). I reached out and didn't get any response. Should I just keep going? I have heard of people starting new shops this early in the game.
Don't sweat a 4 star review, most people over look these no problem. Just be diligent on asking customers after delivery for a review and keep moving! Don't let the little things get you down, you can message people to try to get them to update reviews but if they don't respond, just move on!
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you!
Hi Cassiy thank you for another great video 😁 I just have a quick question. . . How do sales taxes work with Etsy? Do I need to add on additional fees to my listing? And or pay Etsy to do anything for me? I live in the UK, so I’m a little unsure about US taxes and what I’d be required to do and or pay 😬 Thank you so much 😁
Etsy handles all of the sales tax for you so you don't need to worry about adding any! They also will charge you the VAT. I am not sure what this would mean for you selling in a different country though, you may then need to file taxes in the US. I apologize I don't have those answers for you!
Thank you so much for your advice, I really appreciate it 😁
Thank you so much Cassiy for your valuable tips! When you run a sale and then give those customers who have purchased something a thank you coupon or give the people who favorited the items a 20% off coupon, does Etsy combine coupons with what’s on sale? Thank you so much for your help!
Great question! It's actually one or the other so I just don't offer those coupons. Usually if they didn't buy it the first time then they aren't coming back but I'd be curious to hear another big seller that doesn't run ads opinion!
No Etsy do not combine coupons with what’s on sale
Cassiy Johnson ahh that’s good to know, thank you! My favorite tip was definitely about the reviews, which I am looking forward to implement 🙏🏾💕
Beltagy Designs ahh gotcha! Thank you for your response 🙏🏾💕
@@thecheetahbuzz_ So glad you found that helpful, you've got this!
Hey Cassiy, are you designing’s sweatshirts all year? Or only specific mounts let say September - March ?
Thanks for watching!! Yes I design sweatshirts all year since you never know what time of year someone will want to buy your product. :)
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you! One additional question - during the summer mounts, does your main mockup Sweatshirt or Tshirt? what you would recommend?
Hey Cassiy, would appreciate the guidance for above :) !
hello! thanks for the video. great job explaing everything. just had one question? after publishing them are they automatically sent on the page for people to view and see? if not how do we do that ? im not sure how to move them to my collections, so that they even show in my store.
also wondering, why my items say only 1 in stock and if purchased would i have to update the item ?
Hi Marlane! After you hit publish in printify you do have to go to Etsy and click on the listing you just published and fill a few more things out! here's my tutorial video for this :) czcams.com/video/pSs0nMfRqZc/video.html
Also, yes you can update your stock in the "Variations" section when you're editing a listing. Change the 1 to 999 and you won't have to update it again for a while! :)
hello! thanks for the video. now ive watched this video you send me about 2 times. ive followed all steps and everything. but still my items are not being found when searched. not sure what im doing wrong.
Hello, I was wondering how to go about making custom listings through printify
