What you can automate

What can the Printify Make integration do for you?

The Printify Make integration links your Printify account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each module being one brick such as a trigger, an action or a search. Once linked, Make can create products, handle orders and react to shop events without you opening Printify.

From artwork to product. A new design file shows up in the storage app your designer uses. Upload an Image sends it to your Printify media library, Create a Product builds the item around it, and Publish a Product pushes it to your shop. Three modules, no copy and paste.

Orders that fix themselves. Watch Events wakes the scenario when Printify reports an event. Get an Order reads the details, and if the payment never came, Cancel an Order stops it before anything is printed. When the order is fine, Send an Order to Production moves it along.

A catalog you can audit. List Products and List Shops return everything you sell, one bundle per item (a bundle is one item passed from a module to the next). Send them to a spreadsheet and you have an inventory you can sort.

What Make does not do here: the modules only cover what the Printify API exposes through them. For anything else, Make an API Call reuses the same connection. The documentation behind this app is itself AI-generated from Printify's docs, so check the important details in your account. If you hesitate between tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and the Make review covers the editor in depth. Teams that would rather hand the build over can talk to the Make agency.

Connect

How do you connect Printify to Make?

  1. 01

    Generate your Printify token

    In Printify, open your Account Settings, go to the API tab and click Generate Token. Copy the key shown on screen and keep it at hand. An approved app with OAuth credentials also works if your team has one.

  2. 02

    Add a Printify module in Make

    In your scenario, add any Printify module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Printify account linked to Make once, then reused by every Printify module. The Connection name field is optional; a clear name helps when you have several shops.

  3. 03

    Paste the credentials and save

    Paste the token you copied, or follow the on-screen instructions if you chose OAuth. Save, and Make can now read your shops, products and orders. You will see them in the module fields as soon as the connection works.

First scenario

Your first scenario: turn a new design into a Printify product

GoalWhen a new design file lands in the app your designer uses, Make uploads it to Printify and creates the product around it.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the trigger of the app where your artwork arrives, the one that watches for new files, and connect that account.

  2. 02

    Add Upload an Image

    Click the + on the right of the first module, search for Printify and choose Upload an Image. Click Create a connection and paste your token if you have not linked Printify yet.

  3. 03

    Map the file

    Printify accepts the image as a URL or as base64 file contents. Map the value the first module hands over, so each new design becomes one bundle that lands in your media library.

  4. 04

    Add Create a Product

    Add Create a Product after the upload and fill its fields. Make lists what it can read from your account once the connection exists, and you map the uploaded image from the previous module.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Drop a sample design in your folder and click Run once. Open each module's bubble to read the bundle it received and check the product in Printify before going further.

  6. 06

    Schedule and switch on

    Open the clock on the first module: a new scenario checks every 15 minutes by default, and the Free plan cannot go below that. Set the rhythm that suits you and switch the scenario on.

Triggers

What starts a Printify scenario

1 module starts a scenario when something happens in Printify. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Printify as soon as it happens.

Printify1Watch Events

Watch Events

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a specified event occurs.”

You get a scenario that starts the moment Printify reports the event you picked in the module, so the next modules work on fresh shop data instead of waiting for the next check.

How it fires
instant. Printify calls Make through a webhook as soon as the event happens, which is why the module carries the lightning badge rather than the clock.
When to use it
any flow that should react to your shop, for example reading the full record with Get an Order or Get a Product right after the event comes in.
Watch out
click Create a webhook before Create a connection when you add it. The webhook is the address Printify calls, so set it up before your first test.
Modules

What the Printify modules do

Printify gives you 28 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Printify1

Archive an Uploaded Image

Action

In Make“Archive an uploaded image.”

You keep your media library readable: this module files an image you uploaded earlier as archived, so the active library only shows the artwork you still work with.

When to use it
a design leaves your collection, and you pair the module with List Uploaded Images to find the old files and archive them one bundle at a time.
Watch out
map the image from a previous module instead of typing it, so you archive the right file.
Printify2

Cancel an Order

Action

In Make“Cancels an unpaid order. The request will only be accepted if the order to be canceled has the status "on-hold" or "payment-not-received".”

You stop a sale that went nowhere: the module cancels an order that has not been paid, so nothing goes to print for money you never received.

When to use it
a customer backs out before paying, or the payment simply never arrives.
Watch out
Printify only accepts the request when the order status is on-hold or payment-not-received. Check the status with Get an Order first, or add a filter before this module.
Printify3

Create a Product

Action

In Make“Creates a new product.”

You get a new product in your Printify shop straight from the scenario, built from the design you just uploaded and ready for publishing later.

When to use it
fresh artwork arrives and you want a product around it without clicking through the catalog yourself.
Watch out
the product is not live yet. Chain Publish a Product after it, and use List Blueprints if you are unsure which base to start from.
Printify4

Delete a Product

Action

In Make“Deletes a product.”

You clear a product out of your Printify shop from Make, which is handy when a design is withdrawn and should disappear along with it.

When to use it
a licence ends or a design is pulled, and the product must go wherever the decision is recorded.
Watch out
treat the deletion as final. Run it on a test product with Run once before you connect it to a real list of items.
Printify5

Delete a Shop

Action

In Make“Disconnects a shop.”

Despite its name, this module disconnects a whole shop from your Printify account, and it does so in one step.

When to use it
a sales channel closes for good and you want the cleanup to happen from the same scenario that archives its data.
Watch out
Keep it out of loops. Before the scenario runs for real, List Shops confirms which shop you are pointing at, so check it.
Printify6

Get a Blueprint

Action

In Make“Returns a specific blueprint.”

You read the details of one blueprint, the base item Printify prints on, so later modules can use its information instead of guessing.

When to use it
a product build depends on a specific base and you need its details in the scenario before creating anything.
Watch out
the module returns a single blueprint. To browse the catalog first, start with List Blueprints and pass the one you want.
Printify7

Get an Image

Action

In Make“Returns an image.”

You pull one image from your Printify library into the scenario, so its details can travel to the next module or to another app.

When to use it
a product references an artwork and you want to send that file to a review tool or a shared drive.
Watch out
it reads one image per bundle. For the whole library, List Uploaded Images does the job in one module.
Printify8

Get an Order

Action

In Make“Returns order details by ID.”

You get the full details of one order, found by its ID, which is usually the first thing to do after Watch Events reports something.

When to use it
an event names an order and you need its content to update a CRM, alert support or decide whether to cancel it.
Watch out
map the order ID from the previous module. A value typed by hand works for testing, not for a live scenario.
Printify9

Get a Product

Action

In Make“Returns a product.”

You read everything Printify holds about one product, so the scenario can compare, copy or report it without you opening the dashboard.

When to use it
before Update a Product, to see the current state, or when a teammate needs the product sheet posted to a channel.
Watch out
one product per run of the module. To go through the catalog, List Products returns them all as bundles.
Printify10

Get a Provider

Action

In Make“Returns a specific print provider and a list of associated blueprint offerings.”

You learn about one print provider along with the blueprints it offers, which tells you what that partner can actually produce for you.

When to use it
you are choosing where to print a new line and want to know which bases a given provider covers.
Watch out
the answer covers a single provider. List All Providers comes first when you do not know which one to ask about.
Printify11

Get Shipping Info

Action

In Make“Returns shipping information.”

You bring Printify's shipping information into Make, so delivery details can feed an email or a support ticket.

When to use it
a customer asks how their item will ship and your team wants the answer without logging into Printify.
Watch out
this is general shipping information. For the price of shipping a specific order, use Get the Shipping Cost instead.
Printify12

Get the Shipping Cost

Action

In Make“Returns shipping cost of an order.”

You find out what shipping an order will cost before it leaves, which helps you keep your margin in check on every sale.

When to use it
once an order exists, for example right after Submit an Order, to log the cost in your finance sheet or stop an order whose delivery eats the profit.
Watch out
it prices an order, not a product. Map the order data from the module that built it.
Printify13

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

You reach any part of the Printify API that the ready-made modules leave out, using the same connection you already set up.

When to use it
you need an endpoint none of the other ready-made modules offer, and you would rather not build a separate HTTP setup.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep Printify's API reference open and test the call with Run once first.
Printify14

Publish a Product

Action

In Make“Publishes a product.”

You push a product live to your shop, closing the loop that starts with Upload an Image and Create a Product.

When to use it
a design has been approved, for example when a teammate ticks a box in your tracking tool, and the product should go on sale.
Watch out
two modules, Set Product Publish Status to Succeeded and to Failed, exist to report the outcome back to Printify. Keep both in mind when you design the flow.
Printify15

Send an Order to Production

Action

In Make“Sends to production”

You release an order to the printer from Make, so approved orders no longer wait for someone to handle them by hand in Printify.

When to use it
your own checks pass, such as a verified address or a confirmed payment, and the order can go ahead.
Watch out
add a filter before this module so only orders that passed your checks reach it; production is the step you least want to trigger by mistake.
Printify16

Set Product Publish Status to Failed

Action

In Make“Removes the product from the locked status on the Printify app.”

You unlock a product that is stuck in publishing, telling Printify the attempt did not work so it can be edited again.

When to use it
your sales channel rejects a listing and the product must not stay frozen in Printify.
Watch out
this only clears the locked status. Fix the cause before calling Publish a Product again, or the same error comes back.
Printify17

Set Product Publish Status to Succeeded

Action

In Make“Removes the product from the locked status on the Printify app and sets its external property with the handle you provide in the request body.”

You confirm to Printify that a product went live, which unlocks it and records the handle you provide as its external reference.

When to use it
your storefront accepts the listing and sends back its handle, and you want both systems to agree.
Watch out
map the handle from the module that talked to your storefront; a wrong value leaves Printify pointing at a product that does not exist.
Printify18

Submit an Order

Action

In Make“Orders an existing product.”

You place an order for a product that already exists in your shop, directly from the scenario, with no manual entry in Printify.

When to use it
a sale happens somewhere Printify does not see, like a form or a wholesale request, and it needs to be fulfilled.
Watch out
the product must exist first. Check it with Get a Product; once the order is placed, Get the Shipping Cost tells you what its delivery costs.
Printify19

Update a Product

Action

In Make“Updates a product.”

You change an existing product from Make, so a change decided elsewhere reaches Printify without editing each item by hand.

When to use it
your source of truth lives in a spreadsheet or a PIM, and Printify should follow whenever a row changes.
Watch out
read the product with Get a Product before writing, so you only replace what really changed.
Printify20

Upload an Image

Action

In Make“Uploads image files either via image URL or image file base64-encoded contents. The file will be stored in the Merchant's account Media Library.”

You get your artwork into the media library of your Printify account, where products can use it right away.

When to use it
a designer drops a file in a shared folder and you want it in Printify without downloading and re-uploading it.
Watch out
the image goes in as a URL or as base64 file contents. On Make's Free plan, files are capped at 5 MB, so large print files need a paid plan.
Printify21

List All Providers

Search

In Make“Returns all available print providers.”

You get every print provider available on Printify, each one as its own bundle, ready to be sorted or filtered in the scenario.

When to use it
you keep a shared sheet of possible print partners. It stays fed from the source, never copied by hand.
Watch out
every bundle that flows into the next module counts as an operation, one execution of a module that Make bills on your plan.
Printify22

List Blueprint Providers

Search

In Make“Returns all print providers that fullfil orders for a specific blueprint.”

You see which print providers can fulfill orders for one given blueprint, so you pick a partner that actually makes the item you have in mind.

When to use it
a new product line is planned on a known base and you want to compare the providers that print it.
Watch out
it needs the blueprint first. Get it from List Blueprints or Get a Blueprint earlier in the flow.
Printify23

List Blueprints

Search

In Make“Returns a list of all available blueprints.”

You browse the full catalog of blueprints, the bases Printify can print on, without scrolling through the website.

When to use it
you prepare a range and want to filter bases by type in a spreadsheet before choosing what to design for.
Watch out
the catalog is large. Add a filter or a limit right after the module so you do not spend operations on bundles you will never use.
Printify24

List Blueprint Variants

Search

In Make“Returns a list of variants of a blueprint from a specific print provider.”

You get the variants of a blueprint as one specific print provider offers them, which shows the real choices a customer will see.

When to use it
you build a product and need the exact variants of that base with that provider before Create a Product.
Watch out
both the blueprint and the provider are required. List Blueprint Providers gives you the right pair.
Printify25

List Orders

Search

In Make“Returns orders.”

You pull your Printify orders into Make as bundles, a starting point for reports, follow-up emails or a sync with your accounting tool.

When to use it
you want a view of every order in a spreadsheet, or you need to catch up on orders placed before your trigger existed.
Watch out
each returned order is a bundle and every later module runs once per bundle. Filter early to keep operations low.
Printify26

List Products

Search

In Make“Returns a list of all products.”

You retrieve the products of your shop in one go, so you can check, export or update them in bulk from a single scenario.

When to use it
a change has to reach the whole catalog, with Update a Product placed right after this module.
Watch out
a search can return zero products. Test with Run once to see what comes back before chaining anything that writes.
Printify27

List Shops

Search

In Make“Returns a list of shops.”

You see every shop linked to your Printify account, each one as a bundle, so the scenario knows exactly which store it is about to touch.

When to use it
you run several sales channels and the scenario has to loop over each of them, or confirm which one it is working on.
Watch out
the connection gives access to all your shops, so pick the one you mean explicitly instead of relying on the first bundle.
Printify28

List Uploaded Images

Search

In Make“Returns a list of uploaded images.”

You get an inventory of the images stored in your media library, useful to spot duplicates or files no product uses anymore.

When to use it
a cleanup before a new season, followed by Archive an Uploaded Image for the files you want out of the way.
Watch out
the list includes every image you uploaded; filter it on the details you care about before archiving anything.

FAQ

Printify and Make: frequent questions

01Is the Printify Make integration free?
Yes, Printify is a standard app in Make, so it works on the Free plan. That plan gives you 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute, remove the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of execution. You still need your own active Printify account, which follows Printify's pricing.
02What do you need to connect Printify to Make?
You need an active Printify account and either a personal access token or an approved app with OAuth credentials. The token is the simplest route: in Printify, open Account Settings, go to the API tab, click Generate Token and copy the key. In Make, add a Printify module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like, and paste the key. The connection is then reused by every Printify module in your scenarios.
03Does the Printify trigger in Make work in real time?
Yes. Watch Events is an instant trigger: Printify calls Make through a webhook as soon as the event you selected happens, so the scenario starts without waiting for a scheduled check. That is also why you click Create a webhook before Create a connection when you add it. All the other modules are actions and searches; they run when the scenario reaches them, whether it was started by this trigger or by a schedule.
04What if a Printify module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It sends any request to the Printify API with the connection you already have, so you can reach endpoints the ready-made modules do not cover. Keep Printify's API reference open while you write the request, and test it with Run once. Also keep in mind that Make's documentation for this app is AI-generated from Printify's own docs and may contain mistakes, so confirm important details with Printify.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Printify?
It depends on the tool your team already knows. On Make, Printify comes with 29 modules, an instant trigger, Make an API Call for anything else, and access from the Free plan. The same app often exists as an n8n node too, so check what that node offers if n8n is already part of your stack. The right choice is the tool where your other scenarios live, since a single editor is easier to maintain than two.
