Connect Printful to your Bandzoogle store

To connect your Bandzoogle ‘Store’ feature to the Printful store of your choice, you can follow these steps. Once you have successfully connected to Printful, your products will continue to sync unless you disconnect the integration.

Note: When you create your Printful store, be sure to select the ‘Manual order platform/API’ option, which works best with Bandzoogle.

1. From the “Selling Tools” tab, click ‘Settings’ on the left and then click ‘Printful’
2. Click ‘Connect to Printful’
3. Log in to your Printful account
4. Choose the Printful Store you’d like to connect to and then click the ‘Authorize’ button to allow Bandzoogle access to the store’s products. If you only have one Printful account created, you’ll go straight to the authorization step.

Notes:

• In your Printful account, be sure that your Printful Store currency is set to the same currency as your Bandzoogle Payment Settings.

• As of July 1, 2021, Printful will add VAT for orders shipped to the EU. This tax will be automatically applied to your Printful fulfillment charge - you can build this fee into your item’s final price to account for the charge. To learn more, please read Printful’s ‘How VAT is applied to EU bound orders’ article.

• If you’d like to sync Shopify items, create a new store in Printful and add your Shopify product templates in the Printful store. You can then connect this store to Bandzoogle following the same steps listed above.

Adding Printful products to your Bandzoogle Store

Once you’ve synced your Printful account in your Store feature, you'll need to add the products you’ve created in Printful by following these steps:

1. In your Bandzoogle ‘Edit Content’ tab, click ‘Pages’ and open the page on which you’ll be working
2. Click ‘Add feature’
3. Select the ‘Store’ feature and use the placement arrows to set the feature’s location
4. Click ‘Add product’

6. Click ‘Add’ next to the synced Printful product(s)
7. The product will be added to your Bandzoogle 'Store' feature
8. Click ‘Back’ to see the product(s) in your store's list of items

Note: We can’t see if you add new products or make new changes to existing products within Printful in future. As such product updates in Bandzoogle are not done automatically when you make any changes to your Printful.com account - you will need to ‘re-sync’ items to update your Printful items in Bandzoogle.

To re-sync, head to Selling Tools > ‘Printful’ options in the Bandzoogle ‘Store’ feature and click ‘Sync from Printful’. Existing products will be updated, and new products to add to your store will appear in your ‘selling tools’.

Products deleted from your Printful account will be removed from your Bandzoogle Store on the next sync.
