Connecting Printify to Wix takes about 10 minutes and requires only your Wix login
To connect Printify to Wix, you log into your Wix account, go to the App Market, search for Printify, click "Add to Site," and authorize the connection. Printify then syncs with your Wix store and you can start adding print-on-demand products. The process works the same whether you use Wix's free plan or a paid subscription, though some Wix plans limit which apps you can install.
The connection is one-way at first: Printify pulls information from your Wix store to create products, but you control which products appear in your shop. Once connected, Printify handles production and shipping when customers order, while Wix manages the storefront and payment processing.
Key Takeaways
- You need a Wix account with a store set up before you can connect Printify; the app works on all Wix plans but some older plans may have restrictions.
- After authorization, Printify creates a product catalog you can browse and add to your Wix shop without leaving the Printify dashboard.
- Printify charges you only when a customer orders; Wix handles payment collection and you set your own markup on top of Printify's base price.
- Orders placed through Wix automatically sync to Printify, which then sends production details to the print partner and tracking information back to your customer.
Step-by-step connection process
Start by logging into your Wix account and navigating to your store dashboard. Click on "Apps" in the left sidebar, then search for "Printify" in the App Market. When you find the Printify app, click "Add to Site" and Wix will ask you to authorize the connection. You will be taken to Printify's login page; if you do not have a Printify account yet, create one using your email address.
After you authorize, Printify will confirm the connection and you will see a message saying your Wix store is now connected. You can then close that window and return to your Wix dashboard. The app typically appears in your left sidebar under "Apps" for quick access. From that point forward, you can open Printify directly from Wix without logging in separately.
What happens after you connect
Once connected, Printify syncs with your Wix store but does not automatically add products to your shop. Instead, you browse Printify's catalog of print-on-demand items—t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, phone cases, and hundreds of other products—and choose which ones to add. For each product you select, you can customize the design, set your own price markup, and choose which Printify print partner produces it.
When you add a product to Printify, it creates a listing in your Wix store. Customers see the product on your shop page, add it to their cart, and check out through Wix's payment system. Wix collects the full price you set, and Printify automatically deducts their production cost from that amount. You keep the difference as profit.
Syncing orders and tracking
When a customer places an order through your Wix store, the order information automatically flows to Printify. Printify then sends the order to the appropriate print partner based on the product type and your settings. The print partner produces the item and ships it directly to your customer.
Your customer receives tracking information through Wix, and you can see all order details in both your Wix dashboard and your Printify account. If a customer contacts you with a question about their order, you can look it up in either system and see the production status and shipping timeline. Printify handles all communication with the print partner, so you do not need to contact them directly unless there is a problem.
Choosing print partners and customizing products
Printify works with multiple print partners, and different partners may offer different products, price points, and production times. When you add a product to your store, Printify shows you which partners can produce it and what their base cost is. You can choose which partner you prefer, or let Printify automatically select the best option based on your settings.
Before adding a product to your Wix store, you can upload your own design or use Printify's design tools to create one. You can add text, images, and logos to products and preview how they will look. Once you are satisfied with the design and price, you publish it to your Wix store. Customers will see the finished product image and your price when they browse your shop.
Troubleshooting common connection issues
If the Printify app does not appear in your Wix App Market, check that your Wix plan supports third-party apps. Some older Wix plans have limited app access, and you may need to upgrade to use Printify. You can see which apps your plan supports by going to your account settings and checking your subscription details.
If the connection drops or Printify stops syncing with your store, log out of Printify and remove the app from your Wix account, then reinstall it. Go to your Wix Apps section, find Printify, click the three dots, and select "Remove." Then search for Printify again and add it back. This usually restores the connection within a few minutes.
If orders are not appearing in Printify after a customer purchases through Wix, check that your Wix payment settings are configured correctly. Printify only receives orders that have been successfully paid for, so if payment processing is blocked or incomplete, the order will not sync. Verify that your Wix payment gateway is active and that you have not disabled order notifications.
Managing your store after connection
After Printify is connected, you manage your store from either Wix or Printify depending on what you are doing. To add or remove products, browse designs, or change prices, use Printify. To manage your store layout, write product descriptions, set up shipping policies, or handle customer service, use Wix. Both systems stay in sync, so changes in one appear in the other.
You can disconnect Printify from Wix at any time by removing the app from your Wix account. If you do, your Printify products will no longer appear in your Wix store, but your Printify account and any designs you created will remain. You can reconnect later if you want to resume selling print-on-demand products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Printify account before connecting to Wix?
No. When you click "Add to Site" in Wix and are taken to Printify's login page, you can create a new Printify account at that moment. You do not need to sign up separately beforehand, though you can if you prefer.
Can I use Printify with a free Wix plan?
Printify works with most Wix plans, including free plans, but some very old or restricted Wix accounts may not support third-party apps. Check your Wix plan details in your account settings. If your plan does not allow apps, you will need to upgrade to use Printify.
What if I already have a Printify account from another store?
You can use the same Printify account for multiple stores. When you connect Printify to Wix, log in with your existing Printify email and password. Your Wix store will be added to your Printify account alongside any other stores you manage.
How long does it take for products to appear in my Wix store after I add them in Printify?
Products appear in your Wix store within a few seconds of publishing them in Printify. If a product does not show up after a few minutes, refresh your Wix store page or check that you clicked "Publish to Store" in Printify rather than just saving the design.
Can I edit product prices in Wix after connecting Printify?
You can edit prices in Printify, and those changes sync to Wix. If you edit a price directly in Wix, it may revert to the Printify price on the next sync. For consistent pricing, always change prices in Printify rather than in Wix.
