With Printful, you can customize product variants to have different designs. If you're selling products in different colors and want each to have a design in a contrasting color, I'll show you how to do just that. In this video, you’ll learn how to create a product, add it to your store, and sync your Printful products with multiple design variations.
Let’s start by understanding how you can sync products and what you’ll need to create custom product options.
With Printful, you can customize product variants by syncing them automatically or manually. You can find the syncing features on your Dashboard in Stores, then go to View store, and click Edit on the product you wish to customize variants for.
The Change print file button lets you make changes to your product variants and is available for all Printful ecommerce integrations that support automatic product push.
The Add variants button lets you add new variants like colors and sizes to your product through Printful and is available for Shopify, WooCommerce, and Etsy.
You can sync variants that are unsynced on any ecommerce integration by clicking Choose products. By manually syncing variants, you can explore new possibilities like adding multiple designs to the same product color. Let’s say you have 3 versions of your design. And you want them to go on a mug or a hat but you don’t want the item color to be different. You can create the options on your ecommerce store and then sync each variant to have its own design.
The ecommerce platform you sell on or the type of product you want to add more design color options to will determine which steps you take. So, we’ll cover the steps for both automatically and manually syncing product variants.
You’ll need a design that has multiple color versions. In this example, I’ll be adding this cat design to a shirt. I have prepared this design in white and black. The white version will go on darker color shirts and the black version will go on lighter color shirts.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to sync your product’s variants. 👨🔬
Hi, can you add different variants for wix, specifically if it is a poster? thanks
We can't add variants at the template level?
I can't make more variants of the mug (want to add different photos to go on the same product) And it says ''All possible variations added' is there a solution for this?
@@ebelebright759 With Wix, you're not able to edit variants if you pushed the product from Printful. There used to be a workaround but that's changed. Right now, the best way to approach this would be to create the product manually through Wix, import the product into Printful and sync the variants manually. Additionally, you can push that poster product or use the product info and descriptions from one you already have to add to your poster products.
@@MentalPistol This option is currently not available for product templates. It does seem like it would be a great place for this functionality. I'll pass the feedback along.
After trying to figure out how to do this for a week, this video made it crystal clear. Thank you.
Glad it helped! 😊
All these videos are so helpful. Thank you! =)
We appreciate your kind words! 😊 Thanks for watching!
Great video! Very easy to follow. Thank you for posting this. Question: if I manually sync then it will sync ALL the products that I have in my Shopify store, correct? Is there a way I can select which products to sync? I sell items form different vendors, not just Printful so I wouldn't want those syncing.
All of your videos are very professional & helpful .Please always keep making this great content
Thanks! Glad you like them! 😊
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks, very helpful!
Thank you very much for this video! Very useful!
Thank you for your feedback :)
Thank you for your help. I have a listing with sizes S to 2XL and I would like to add 3X to 5X. How do I add the new sizes to a listing? Thanks.
I had no idea about this 👍🏻
Thank you!!
Is there a way to create product bundles with a mix of products? 🤔
Been needing this for years!
Thank you for watching our videos and for the questions you ask :)
Bundles are such a great way to cross-sell products. You can take the same concept from the Personalization video, ua-cam.com/video/HpkBJQR-35c/v-deo.html of making the bundle listings unsynced and manually processing unsynced items/orders. It's possible that the ecommerce platform you sell on may even have an app that can help.
Great idea for a video, so thank you. Could you give me an example of a bundle you would like to make or see?
THANK YOU!!!
Cool.. thank you very much 😊
You're welcome 😊
Hey! Your videos are very helpful! I have followed these steps but I am unsure if they have properly synced to my Etsy shop based on what I can see in Etsy. In Printful, it looks like it was done right. The previous mockup designs are still showing in Etsy - do I have to manually delete the old colour option and upload the new mockup option? Is there a way to confirm in Etsy the information has been received from Printful? Thanks!
Hey, Sarah! If you've updated the mockups on Printful's end, the changes should reflect on Etsy too! If you're unsure if everything's been set up properly, you can always email our support team at support@printful.com. They'll gladly check that for you. 😊
This was very useful, but can I do this with other products? E.g I have a print I'd like to sell on my website, and I'd like to have a poster version, framed poster version and a canvas print version all synced together. Is this possible?
Thank you, this worked for me with Shopify and Printful but I have a LOT of variants so it is possible to have the variant options on the storefront as a dropdown menu rather than a bunch of buttons?
Figured it out: Store > Themes > Customize > Products > Default Product > Variant Picker > select Dropdown Type
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
The mug part is confusing, it doesn't go that way on my Printful, i can't edit anything on the mug, can't put the design (different colors of the same design on the mugs), also, not being able to add other types of mugs either, i mean to make one etsy listing with more than 1 mug variant, like the white glossy mugs and mugs with color inside, of course with the same design. Do you have a video that clearly explains on this topic?
finally found this and great info - unfortunately still doesn't give me any way to do what I want :( I have 4 different background colors on my design that I would like to offer on tshirts and other products and was hoping there was a way to not have to add or alter ever single shirt color and size and looks like no way to do that. Also, you should mention there is a limit of 100 variations, so with 4 designs that leaves about 3 shirt color options with 3 sizes... or something like that
Is there a way I can sync the size of the desings? Because when I move the design for the white shirt I can never ever find the exact same position on the black shirt.
Thanks Printful 🙏 For both my BigCartel and Etsy integrations I need a single listing that has variants of entirely different products/designs. And each of those variants need to have garment color options within them. Almost like double or nested variants. Is this possible?
Hey, Noah! Each integration has its own limitations, so feel free to reach out to our support team to find out if this would be doable for both Etsy and BigCartel stores! Our email is support@printful.com.
Are there any tutorials on how to sell prints with different size options and the option to add a frame?
I'm about to give up on Printful, its so difficult to use & It's impossible to find any user guides
Hey, Joanne! Sorry to hear that the process hasn't been smooth so far. That can be done by editing your product variants but the process may differ depending on the integration that you're using. Please get in touch with us by sending an email to support@printful.com, so we can help!
How do I do different products with the same design? For example, if I had a front and side design on one of the "dad hats" and a snapback, how do I allow a user to select the dad hat or snapback? Is that something that can be done in Printful or is that something I can only do on Shopify or WP, etc.
Hey, Alex! That can be done on your storefront, but it's also possible to achieve this by modifying your product variants on Printful. Please send a message to support@printful.com, so we can explain the process. 😊
really helpful, but you guys should have that link to be able to do all of that on the product templates page
thank you so much for this video! So helpful :)
Question/Clarification: so will the above steps help me create one item w/ multiple design varients?
For example: I want to sell a black sweatshirt with a zodiac sign as the design. there are 12 zodiac signs so I would need an dropdown option for each - can I do that?
Absolutely, but it's worth noting that certain ecommerce platforms come with constraints on the number of variants or options you can incorporate. This might add a layer of complexity or even make things a bit tedious, especially if you're aiming to provide a many choices, including different zodiac signs, garment colors, and various sizes.
You can multiple the number of each option together like this to understand how many variants you would have to sync up on the Printful side after creating them on your store side.
Design options x size options x garment color options
Which ecommerce platform are you selling on?
did you ever find a way to do this? I am trying to do something similar - same shirt color, same size, but different visual on the front (choose a sport for example). I am running into a roadblock where printful is not giving me a way to do this.
Is this also possible with posters? I'd like to sell two colors and i try like for 1 week but it doesn't work
s there a way to create product bundles with a mix of products? Like a kids shirt and a adult shirt in one listing?
Hi, Dana! 😊 It might be possible to achieve this on your storefront's end, but it depends on the integration of your choice. It won't be possible to set up product bundles on Printful. For more info, please send a message to support@printful.com.
Hi, is there an option to put two different products with same design in one listing. How would I go about, to lets say, add two type of T-shirts weight. Lets say I want to sell same design on Lightweight (140gsm) and Heavyweight (220 gms) T shirt. In back-end, those are two different vendors for shirts and there for, two different products and SKUs. Or if I want to sell 3 piece canvas, which would also be 3 products on the backed, but one for the customer. My store platform would be Shopify.
Thanks in advance
.
Hey! That can be achieved when modifying variants on Printful's end after you've pushed the product to your Shopify store. Alternatively, you can make those changes on Shopify and then sync the product variants on Printful. For more detailed info on how to achieve this, please send a message to support@printful.com! We'll explain. 😊
can you create one design and select multiple different products or can you only choose multi[le variants of the same product- ie cat design on tshiet/hoodie and mug
Hey! It's currently not possible to upload the same design onto multiple products in bulk, but this can be easily achieved with all product variants when you're designing a product. 😊
As shown in the video, I added another color option in Shopify, but the sku is not synchronized in Shopify. Is there no problem with this?
Hey! SKUs will be added when the variants are synced. Try refreshing data! If that doesn't help, please send us an email at support@printful.com. 😊
Hi, how about your swimwear products. I have patterns that normally come in a different color is there a way to work on syncing them to Shopify as variants.
Hey! We'd suggest checking in with our support team about this, but it's possible that it might not be possible when it comes to all-over print products. 🧐 The email is support@printful.com.
Hello, I would like to have differents design but in the same variant (A cup in this case) so i dont need to have 3 differents cups in my store, and this doesnt work because I am using the same cup size for every design. I saw some tutorials about listing, and first i dont know it this would be the same and second I cant find the listing tab that appears on the webpage on the tutorials, probably because they were like 3 years old and the page updated. How can i do it then?
Thanks in ahead!
Hi! The process might vary depending on the integration that you're using. For detailed instructions on how to achieve this, please send a message to support@printful.com!
Can we handle product set in Printful? For example, if I want to sell couple tee in single Etsy listing, so when user orders them I want 2tees to be shipped to my user. Is this possible?
Hey! That might be possible, but it would have to bet set up on Etsy's end. You can check in with Etsy's support to find out how to set up product bundles. 😊
Can I do the same with pillow?
Hi, thanks for the vidéo. How can i have mockup for the new design and new color ?
Hey! You have the ability to download mockups in the Stores and Synced variants views on your Dashboard. The feature’s functionality is the same as in the Product Templates section. 🙂
Hi, what is the link to the tee you are wearing? Good quality.
Glad you like it! 😊

is there any way to upload a designs to multiple products at once? or do I have to create each product one by one...?
Hey! That's not possible at the moment, but it's something that the team is slowly exploring. 😎 Perhaps in the future! Right now, each product would have to be designed separately.
Great video! unfortunately I'm not able to add new variants the button is greyed out for me. Everything should be synced correctly right now.
Interesting! Please report that to our Customer Support team so they can look into what might be causing this. The email is support@printful.com.
I'm having this same issue! Thanks so much for commenting!
How do I create variants for shirts of different colours to have different colour text using square. E.g Black shirt with white text, Pink shirt with black text
I need more guidance for my Amazon store please ca I apply this to Amazon the same . I appreciate any help
Feel free to check out our Amazon integration tutorial here - ua-cam.com/video/trJJ6VqDKoQ/v-deo.html
Hope it helps! 😊
Hey there i had a different issue that i am facing while selling custom print products on shopify. Could you help me out ? 😢
So the thing is that i have White & black tshirt . And S, M, L , XL for each colour. And i have custom prints to all these variants. And Made products based on the Prints. So i have like Car print on Black tshirt for S-XL and same for white. But how will i manage inventory and add Quantities to these Tshirts ? As i have 100 unit of Black tshirt for Small Size in total. But have 25 different Customs prints. How will i share the total 100 Quantity of Small Size with all these customs prints !?😐😐
will it be supported in future for squarespace?
Not that we're aware of, at the moment. Product variants are currently not supported by Squarespace.
Is this possible with Ecwid? I have 3 different Logo colors, and would like the customer to be able to choose any logo/shirt color combination.
It might be possible, but we'd suggest double-checking with our support team! They can be reached by sending a message to this email - support@printful.com.
Hi. I updated the templates on printful and all looks perfect on printful. But my etsy store didnt update the mockups. Why? If an order is placed will it get the updated ones? I just chage manully themockups??
Hey! Try refreshing data on your Printful Dashboard. If that doesn't work, make sure you've gone through all of the steps mentioned here ➡️ help.printful.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402035043602-How-can-I-add-new-mockups-to-my-existing-product-listing-
Can you have multiple designs for a shirt design that has multiple colors? (I have a white shirt with a certain design, and then a black shirt with 2 different variations of the design. Can these all be listed on one listing? Thank you!!
Hey, Lizzy! 😊 Yes, that can be achieved by modifying the product variants. You can always contact us at support@printful.com, so we can guide you through the process!
Does this same method apply to matte art prints? I want to offer my design in multiple ratios but when I try to update one file size it deletes the design from all sizes selected when setting up the product. TIA!
Hey! No, unfortunately this does not work with posters.
is there a way to have one product but the design color changes? For example, if I wanted to have a pink shirt, I wanted to let the customer have the option to have the design on the shirt be white or black. is this possible?
Hey! Yes, that may be possible, but it also depends on the integration that you're using. Please get in touch with our support team to learn more! The email is support@printful.com.
Is there a way to offer a design on a t shirt and a hoodie on the same listing on my Wix site and not have to add it under 2 separate listings?
Hey! I can suggest creating a listing with one product, then on Wix side add the variants with the other product. After that, enable the "Import not synced products" option on our side and sync the rest of the product variants with the other product. 😉
Does this work for squarespace integration as well? Or is it just for Spotify and Etsy?
Unfortunately, it does not. Squarespace integration does not support variants pushed from Printful.
@@PrintfulCustomPrinting I hope this can be changed soon! it would be beneficial! for now I've changed the printfile for both light and dark material.
There is no this 2:56 section in my store (for change description and other details) 😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓 plz reply
Wait, so if I want to print a poster that has like 20 sizes, I have to add 20 variants and adjust them all?? I'm confused because I thought I chose 3 variants for a recent poster, but when I went on etsy it showed like 20 sizes?
Hey! We'd suggest contacting our Customer Support team about this so they can assist you with this process. The email is support@printful.com. 😉
We tried this in Canvas and it didn't work, does it only work for tshirt? the variant that we want is:
Kilometer per hour version vs miles per hour version
Hello :)
It should work with any product type. Which ecommerce platform do you sell on? Also, which step are you getting stuck on?
for Posters, how can I have more than one Mockup for my Product when choosing Custom Mockup (e.g. flat + girl holding + art on wall)?. After hours of trying, I can´t figure it out. The Printful interface seems intuitive, but it´s a bit confusing.
Some products on certain platforms don't support additional mockup types; however, you can download mockups from either product templates or synced products through Printful and then upload them on your store side. Hope this helps :)
@@PrintfulCustomPrintingI would like to avoid downloading, there are too much formats and it would take forever to do this manually. Matte Print Mockup view show 3 views, but at the end, only two of them are being saved. The print file view would be a nice addition too, but its not saving. Then, next step, choosing between basic and custom mockup, where I can only choose one variant. Watching Printful T-Shirt Tutorials on UA-cam, there is a lot more going on. I´m only doing printstherefor I´m quite surprised why this process is so difficult to setup. The variants are there, but I cant choose them. There is no check mark box or similar to choose more than one Mockup style. You´ve got a beautiful interface, uploader, mockup tool etc.. But the most crutial part, the output is just not working out well, at least for poster. (shopify + blurry images, for prints a disaster)
Mine wont let me add variants because “they are already in my store” how do i fix this? And is there a way to add new colors?
Hey! It might be related to the integration that you're using. Feel free to send us a message at support@printful.com, so we can check it out and help you! 😊
Adding new variants is not working for existing products. I got in touch with you guys regarding this issue few days ago, and still no answer....
Hey, Ivan! We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with adding variants! It might take a few days for our Support team to get back to you if they're checking the issue further with our Dev team. Hopefully you'll hear back from them very soon!
@@PrintfulCustomPrinting not happy with Printful after all. Whenever I have a problem with a Product and contact Support, they always ask me to re-upload the Products and re-push to all my stores. The amount of time needed to do that is unbearable plus I need to spend more money on store publishing fees, etc
I like Printful when it works, but as soon as you have issues, you are stuck with something that can't be fixed or updated at all and for which you spent an incredible amount of time.
I will be switching to a more reliable drop shipper. It will save me both time and money, at least a different drop shipper should do a better job at making my business profitable which Printful is SO failing to do.
i keep trying and i cant, i cant clic surten options, my store is Wix, i want to have the same hoodie with different designs.
Hey! Please report this to our support team via e-mail support@printful.com or live chat and we'll be glad to look into this! 🙂
Can you create your own custom variant not related to color?
im not able to add variant if I have it connected to Squarespace??
Hey! If you're using Squarespace, it wouldn't be possible to add more product variants from Printful's end. For more info, please send a message to support@printful.com!
Is there a new version of this. Does not match the new user environment. I have been trying to get a shirt exactly as you have described in your video to sync and it does not work
Hey! Thanks for the feedback! Which part exactly didn't work?
😢😢 The part in the video where you select the colors you want. Then click all the size variants. I'm getting grayed out "change print file" tab with a message above saying all selected variants must have the same print file. But you're telling me something different. I need help.
The button greys out if one or more variants have a different print file or if one or more of the variants was changed separately. You can try to figure out which variants are different and only select the same ones. Let us know if that helps.
Hi when I press add variants it says it’s loading for so long and never finishes loading
Hi Lou-Ann, thank you for letting us know. Please get in touch with us through support@printful.com so we can help you resolve this issue
good info. presentation a little quick. too much coffee ? lol
How to publish your unpublish product? I can't see the option.
Hey! If you want to publish products that are in your Product Templates, simply open the templates and click ''Add to store''. 🙂
Weird. When i select my 3 different sizes, and click on "change print file" like you did, it just replaces my design instead of actually adding a variant.
If i click on "add Variant" and change the file there, then the mockups section ist just empty and white.
Sorry to hear that, sounds like an error. Reach out to support@printful.com and we'll figure it out together.
@@PrintfulCustomPrinting found a work around by starting on etsy, then adding variants later :)
Why cant you add Different colored designs to an all over print product?
HELP! - I need to submit a single manual Embroidered Hat order - worth over $500 - all on the identical product, all with the same design, BUT in Three (3) Different Colors.
How can a mixed amount of 3 different colors of one product be placed as a single order?
I want to qualify for the free shipping & volume price break, and I'll need to have all three color variations & color amounts condensed into one order to accomplish this.
How do I proceed??? Getting No Support Or Answers via Email
Hey, Don! You can create a Product template and then create an order from it. When overviewing your oder, click on ''Add product''. Then head back to your Product templates and repeat the process. 😉
@@PrintfulCustomPrinting Hi - I ordered close to $800 in test orders, and used your advice & it worked. Thanks! Now, two months later, I'm totally stymied because PF will not upload Any Products to my Woo stores. Three weeks of tepid support & no resolution has me ready to shift all 5 stores over to Printify. Pretty bummed out...
Won't work for me: the Change Print File is Grayed out on my products
It may depend on the product. If this feature still doesn't work for other products as well, please reach out to our Customer Support team. They'll check what might be causing the issue and assist you with this. 🙂
Hi. Neurodivergent person here, trying to get my ecommerce business going. This video was very difficult to learn from for me. Printful's support chat representative sent me to this video as there is currently no Printful support page available with written out instructions. Video format, especially when spoken as quickly as this one is, doesn't work for my learning style. I had to slow it down to 0.5 speed and even then it was going too fast for me to absorb everything, so I had to play a bit, then pause to transcribe the subtitles into another document, then advance a little, and transcribe some more. Very time consuming and aggravating when all you need to do is create a support page with the transcript of this video to really help your customers. Hoping this feedback helps you become a more accessible company.
Thank you! I thought it was just me. It’s very hard to follow… People that can are lucky.
Very complicated. It should be easier and intuitive.
don't print on black full stop... it falls off after two washes because they don't prepare the garments correctly like other suppliers. Stick to white and white garments only. or go all over print because it's great.
Hey, Jordan! Our prints should last long if the print care instructions are followed carefully. If they have been followed and yet the print doesn't last, please let our customer support team know, so we can look into that! The email is support@printful.com.
I guess I cant do this with Big Cartel
Hey there, you are able to create custom variants with any platform. At 5:20 we talk about how to do this manually, which works for any e-commerce platforms that don't have the automatic features, like Big Cartel. Let me know where you get stuck and I'll be happy to help!
MAKE THINGS SIMPLE! We shouldn't have to complete several steps just to add a simple variation, As soon as we create a product, adding variations should be available in the design area. Printify does this, printful should too.
God so many annoying steps, can't you just add a "make specific design for this colour" option in the editor like Printify coz that option would save everyone HOURS!!
The variants/mockups are a total mess for this though. This video is a year old and its still awful. Feels like a half a solution that the devs haven't fully coded
This was the absolute stupidest way to add the variants ability. Please learn from your competitor printify. This is massively stupid
there is this section 2:56 on my store (I have only manual oder platform.) .I need to add description but no description area to do it. there is only area to add title .plz reply 😪😪😪😪😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓
Hi! The description option is available only for products that are pushed to e-commerce stores and not for manual order platforms. 🙁
It doesn't work... I'd like to sell sweatshirts with different designs, but I can't add variant on my wix site. Why ?!
There was a change since this video prevents Wix users from adjusting variants for products added through Printful. Alternatively, you could create the product within Wix and manually sync each variant. Hope this helps :)
