[00:00] If you are thinking about starting a Print on demand store on Etsy but you don't know how to do it or what step to follow, stay in this video because I will be explaining step by step how to do it correctly taking into account the latest updates from Etsy and in case you are not very
[00:14] familiar with what print on demand is, it is a business model that allows us to create our own designs so that they can then be sold on products such as t-shirts, mugs, phone cases, tote back, etc. and be able to sell it. On platforms like ets tiktok Shop Amazon are shopify but without need
[00:31] to invest in expensive machinery or equipment because for that there are platforms like printify that will be in charge of production and shipping to the client. What does this mean that once we offer a product in stores like etsi and we have a sale, that is when
[00:47] printify will be in charge of printing the design on the product and sending it to the client's home, that is, our work is 100% online and only once we have a sale is when
[01:00] we pay the commission to printify so that it can do the process and in case we don't know each other Hello, my name is Alison, I am a digital entrepreneur and my etsi store is my online job that has allowed me to generate more than $50,000 so far thanks to the PR onand business model. And in this
[01:16] channel you can find tutorials and tips about everything related to this business model and now I will explain to you one What requirements you will need to be able to open a store on exi two How to be able to correctly open a store on this platform and three
[01:33] How to be able to connect our store correctly to printify who is our supplier Now let 's get started So first of all, what should we take into account before we can start
[01:46] in etsi number one, make sure that your country is allowed to sell on this platform since currently only certain countries are allowed. Below I will be leaving you
[01:58] the list of countries, some of them, for example, are Peru, Chile, Argentina, United States, Canada , Europe, etc. In case your country is not on this list, another option to be able to sell everything that is print on demand is also Shopify or Amazon, let me know in the comments in case
[02:14] you want me to make a video. about one of these platforms and on the other hand keep in mind that even if you are not in the United States but your country is allowed to sell on etsi you will also be able to sell exclusively to the United States or the United States and other countries
[02:30] and precisely that is my recommendation that even if you are outside the United States you can sell to this country because one if we work with printify which is our supplier the warehouses of its suppliers are located in the United States therefore shipments within the United States
[02:45] are much cheaper and faster and on the other hand although etsi is growing year by year year in terms of buyers, according to statistics, 70 percent of buyers on this platform are
[02:58] mainly in the United States, so I think it is something important that we have to take into account and it is definitely a country that I recommend you sell to. Yes or yes, going for the second thing is to have an email on hand since it will be the one we will use to register
[03:15] our store. It can be a personal email or an email that you create specifically for your store, but keep in mind that any notification you have related to your store will be sent to that super important email number three. When faced with an
[03:30] identification document, the names and surnames that appear there must exactly match the details of your debit or credit card that you will use to open your exi store, which we will be talking about below. Also, be clear about the address that must
[03:45] match all your documents, that is, your first name, surname and address must match both in your identification, if you have the address on your debit or credit card, and also in the data that you are entering when opening your et store. If there is something that does not match in
[04:02] these three places, you could risk your store that can be suspended four a credit or debit card to be able to open your store although unlike other platforms e-commerce does not charge a monthly fee to be able to have our products there. Currently, it is
[04:18] charging a $1 fei, which is a one-time payment when opening our store, which means that this will not be charged monthly. And lastly, five. If you live in the United States, remember that you must have Social Security oam so that they can see that you can work legally and you can open your
[04:34] store without any problem, so next we will be looking at how to open our etsi store. So the first thing we will do is enter the official etsi website. If you like, you can
[04:46] enter directly from etsy.com or if you want you can enter through the link that I will be leaving you in the description of this video where you will see a page something like this and where you can enter and also have listing sales or free products in case you are suddenly not
[05:02] very familiar with how etsi works although they do not charge us a monthly fee if we have to pay for each listing that is, product that we upload and the cost is 0.20 cents which
[05:14] lasts for 4 months and after 4 months we decide if we want to renew it for 20 cents more or if we want to leave it there and they don't charge us more but by entering with the link that I will be leaving in the description they will be giving you 40 free listings that are basically
[05:29] between $ for this example I will be creating the store in Spanish however if you open it in English it is also great the structure is basically the same So the first thing they ask you here is what etsy brings you You can answer any of these questions in
[05:43] this case it can be the first I just started and we put next then here you They ask if you need help with something feel free to skip it or answer any of these Now let's go to the important part that they tell us now comes the fun part and we click to open your store
[05:59] then here we will start with the configuration of our store for example they are going to ask us the language of the store in this case personally I usually put it in English but you decide what is more comfortable for you if in English or Spanish in this case we will put the country of residence where we are
[06:14] located and where we are registering our store which in this case is the United States if you If you are in Spain you have to say Spain if you are in Peru you must put Peru and in the store tiisa here in this case I am putting US dollars if you
[06:29] are in Europe for example I recommend that you can put it in euros so that they do not charge you the 2.5 conversion for now we go to the option to save and continue then here
[06:41] we go to the part of being able to create the name of our store feel free to put the name you want however if it is not available here et is going to make you know this in this case I put a name and it came out that it was available So there is no
[06:58] problem but if it is not available et it is going to be giving you different options here in case you want to take it Now we are going to save and continue then here the category of the product that we are going to create will appear in this case you can do it just like me Remember
[07:13] that this product that we are going to create is just an example So it is not very important What type of product I am going to sell What is the title etc. because simply to pass the step and allow us to open our store, it really is not the first product that we are going to sell okay.
[07:29] So with that said, here in the category you can place t-shirts and in the first option that appears we click then. In the following options they ask us what type of item it is in this case
[07:44] feel free to be able to indicate that it is a physical item. can allow us to create our store and What is a finished product a material or a tool
[07:59] to make things in this case it would be a finished product When was it made to order that is to say once the order is placed it will be created now This is one of the new parts
[08:12] which normally before etsin did not ask for however now it does and they ask us how does your store make this item in this case for example it is an item that my store normally alters pren on demand products have this category so feel free to be able to place this
[08:26] option since our store usually customizes or alters a base item that is available such as a t-shirt or a mug and here they tell you what tools are used to make this item in this case I would put tools or computerized machines on it such as a
[08:43] cricut machine it is normally What do they use to be able to create the cups? However, here also the person who was creating this food told me that we must also use manual tools and he was able to open the store without any problem, so I recommend that you can use this option or
[08:57] both options and now we are going to save and continue later here. They will be asking us for the title of our product in this part. Feel free to place any word as long as
[09:09] it is nothing like straight Mark . nothing so we can place it in this part here it is mandatory that we place at least one photo so you can place any photo
[09:24] that you have on hand simply to be able to go through this step again Remember that it is not going to be a design that you are going to sell it is not going to be a product that you are going to sell Then if we go down a little more they ask us for a description feel free to copy and paste the same title and if we go down a little more
[09:40] we go to the price and inventory part where at price you can put any number in this case we are placing or and in quantity also one Then if we go down a little further
[09:52] they tell us about uh about the attributes which in this case is not mandatory so you can continue sliding then here they also tell us about the labels the materials which when we create a product the labels will be important however for
[10:07] this step no if we go down a little more to the details part it is important however due to the information that we had already placed mainly this will automatically be given in this way what the physical item was as well as the category in t-shirts
[10:24] now if we go down we will be going to what shipping is in this case if it is mandatory to be able to create a shipping profile so in this case we will go to create an option here again
[10:37] They will be giving us the option to be able to create a shipping profile so we click create So here they give us different options within everything that is shipping such as expenses if we want them to do it for us if we do it regularly here
[10:52] we always put that we will enter it ourselves country of origin of the shipment If you like you can place in In this case, the United States, if you are in another country, you can also enter your country, as I told you, this is only an example, it is not really the product that you are going to
[11:07] sell in your store. Here I am entering any postal code in the United States and the preparation time I also entered from TR to 5 days. Then if we go down a little further, they tell us about standard shipping. In this case, I will leave the United States and I will eliminate any other place around here.
[11:22] I eliminated it and here the one that I recommend placing when it is a shipment from the United States is PS first class mail of about 5co business days is the one that I normally always use in my
[11:34] store and I have never had a problem with it and as for what you are going to charge you can have a fixed price how much you are going to charge for the first item And how much you are going to charge for the second item as this product is an example you can enter any number but currently
[11:47] we are normally placing here $599 once ready we place applied and then if we go down a little more we will find what are exchanges and returns in this case they also
[11:59] force us to be able to have an option of this so we would click to apply this policy and here they will tell us if we want to activate or deactivate what are returns and exchanges Regularly I
[12:11] I have these two options deactivated but I am deciding if you want to have returns and exchanges activated and we go to save and apply And remember about changes and returns that
[12:24] in case there is any fault with the product received by the customer it is printify who is going to take care of this if for example a mug arrives broken or suddenly with some blurry design
[12:36] it is printify who takes care of it and normally gives you the option of a free replacement or a refund Then if we go down a little more we will find the renewal options What does this refer to? With this, once we upload a product, it lasts in our
[12:52] store and is active for 4 months. After 4 months, if we place it manually, we are going to decide if we want to renew this listing again, which they would be charging you 20 cents of a dollar
[13:04] again, or if we simply want it not to be activated again
[13:17] and they do not charge us anything. no longer continue having it in your store because probably over time you will improve a lot in terms of designs once ready Now we go to
[13:32] save and continue and now they tell us good job you have just published your first ad and then they give us the option of If we want to Add more ads or do it later I definitely recommend placing it later and now we do get into everything that is
[13:48] super important payments So here they tell you where your bank is located your bank must be in the same country where you are opening your store in this case the United States and here They ask us
[14:00] for Tax purposes What type of seller are you, a natural or legal person, normally in the United States mainly and in other countries When we just opened our etsi store,
[14:12] we do not have an llc, that is, we do not have a registered company. So we can start as an individual, natural person, so here we put a natural person and here we will begin
[14:24] to enter our personal data which must match our ID, that is, our personal identification as well as the debit or credit card that we are using to open our store. So here they will ask you for your country of residence. It has to
[14:40] be where we are full name full last name date of birth and address exactly as it should match with the debit or credit card and then
[14:52] down here they will ask you for your bank details in this case we are going to have to connect through Plate it is 100% safe I can assure you from experience and that of all my students This is a very secure application through which etsy verifies that you really are the owner of that
[15:09] credit or debit card so once we connect it we are going to save and continue and now this is also one of the new steps that did not exist before when opening an etsy store but it is because now they have more security filters in terms of those who open a store which seems very
[15:25] good to me. It is to protect both sellers and buyers and they will be asking you for three very important steps, one they tell you. Take a photo of your identity document here you will be shown
[15:37] your first name, last name and your date of birth as you had mentioned and your identification must show exactly those data, make sure to take a photo of it in a clear place where your identification can be perfectly seen. After this they will ask you Also that you take a selfie I
[15:53] also recommend that it be in a lighted place so that they can capture exactly your photo is super important and this identification can normally take minutes but it could take a little longer depending on how they are analyzing in etsi once ready we will be moving on to the
[16:10] next step here the same platform will be guiding you so that you can take the photo etcetera and then we will move on to how they will be paying us So here we must decide How often they will pay us according to the profits that we have as an effect we must
[16:25] to place once a week and here they will also be asking you for a debit card to which they will be depositing your earnings once ready we are going to save and continue and now here they will tell us about the fei that we talked about at the beginning of the video which is $ and
[16:42] they also tell you that the fee per publication is 20 cents So here you can enter the credit card information I think they also accept a debit card but if you had a credit card It would be much better and once ready we place review the configuration fee
[16:59] and continue finally They will be asking us to reinforce the security of our store they ask you to choose an option here there are like three options if I am not wrong the best from experience I can tell you that it is the message one because there is another one that is like 10 codes that they give you
[17:14] but many people lose them So if it were a text message I think it would be much better and we go to continue and that's it your store should now be officially open and once
[17:27] open you can also configure the internal part of your store as the banner, the logo , etc. So once we have our store ready and open, I recommend that you leave it there
[17:42] for a moment and let's open our account with printify, which is our supplier. This is because there is a super important step, which is to connect our etsy store to our printify account so that one of us can publish our products correctly and two of us can
[17:59] process our sales correctly. Registration in printify is totally free. I will be leaving you the link in the description of the video and once you enter that link, you will see a screen like this. So The first thing we will do is go here and enter Star
[18:14] for free, that is, start for free and here They will be asking us to enter with an email and a password. If you like, you can Create an email and a password from scratch, but I recommend that you try to use the same email that you have connected to your etsi store. Once
[18:30] ready, we will register when entering. In the upper right part, they will ask you if you will sell to Europe or not. We click
[18:47] again on I am not trying to sell to Europe, then they will ask us certain routine questions. For example, what best describes you? You can say that you have your own e-commerce store here. What is your main objective? You can say that you are starting your first online business. Here
[19:03] they tell you how you found or how you found out about printify. You can say YouTube if you like and then a screen like this will appear, which is basically the printify page. Here we have already logged in. Here we are going to find the products that we can sell on printify,
[19:18] etc. But here in the part On the left we can find everything that is the configuration which is super important when we start. So the first thing I recommend is to go to my New store in the upper left because here we will be connecting our etsi store. We
[19:34] click here and we are going to add a new store here. They will tell you if you have an etsy store, shopify tiktok, etc. In this case we are working with etsy. So we go to connect with etsi. Once we enter there, they may ask you again for your
[19:49] email and password. etsy, if it is already open, they probably won't ask you again and we simply provide access so that you can connect effectively once it's done. The name of your store will be displayed here, in this case, says Alison Ramírez, and now the next
[20:05] step is to be able to go to the Store setting, which is practically the configuration of our store. Here we can start by placing the name of
[20:19] our store. You put the name of your store here, the customer will receive it and will know that it comes from you, printify or the supplier will not come out
[20:31] but the name of your store so therefore I do recommend that you can really enter the name that you want Yes then here we put save and we go to ship from address What is the importance of this here printify tell us If you want to put by default a
[20:46] supplier's address basically or an address of yours which by the way has to be within the United States and why is this important because if there is a return due to an error
[20:58] or something on the part of the client If we put printify default the product will be arriving at the supplier while If we put our address here, this product will be
[21:10] returned to our address, however I would recommend that you can put printify. Personally, I do not feel very comfortable putting my personal address on the packages that clients receive. Yes, so personally I always have it here in printy and we put save
[21:24] then here. The third option is the order settings in which we find what is order routine.
[21:40] If you have this option active, then Printify will rotate, that is, provide this order of yours automatically to another supplier that does have it available, however,
[21:52] I personally have it deactivated because we will not be able to control if Printify is providing this product to a much more expensive supplier. Although here you can control this so that it does not have
[22:04] a very high price difference, but we will also not be able to control if this is a good or bad supplier, so I personally prefer to have it deactivated and if my supplier by choice had this product out of stock, then I will personally pass it on to another supplier that
[22:21] I trust. or see that it has a good score Then if we go down a little more we will find what is order approval which is basically the acceptance of orders when they arrive you
[22:33] can configure it manually that is to say that when we have a sale it is passed to printify and only with your authorization it can be sent to production Or if you like they can be sent automatically personally I have always had it manually because I always prefer to make sure
[22:51] that everything is good before sending it to production So above all When recommend above all that if you are starting you can have it in manual so that you can make sure
[23:03] that everything is fine in print ifight before you can send it to production but in case you prefer to do it automatically eh you can put a certain time here and at this time for example if you put 8 pm all the orders that you have had during that day will be sent to production
[23:18] automatically at that time then if we go down a little more we will find the late orders And in this case I also recommend having it manually so that print does not make decisions for us and here lastly they tell us Daily order updates which is basically updates
[23:35] about the orders you are having if they are already being sent etc. If you like you can activate that and they will send you the authorizations to your email And the product is already on its way etc. once ready we place save then we go to what is branding
[23:51] it is not necessary that you configure it right now however only so that you can know that certain suppliers have active everything which are the package inserts which is basically a little thank you card with the design that you want in case you want to offer that to your clients
[24:08] along with the package and the price with printify Premium is 10 cents and with the regular price it is 15 cents here you place Star designer and you can place the design that you use then
[24:20] here we also have what is gift message in case you want also of clients who are sending certain messages to their family for friends here they are giving them this gift it is also only available with certain suppliers and the price is 10 cents with
[24:35] printy Premium and 15 cents with regular price So I leave these options here for you to take into account. I have a video on my channel where I also explain in much more detail about everything that is branding and gift message. Now something super important is to go to the wallet. We are going to
[24:51] see everything that is finances and payments in case you are not very familiar with How this etsy and PR thing works when we have an order etsi will be in charge of paying us for what the
[25:03] Client paid, that is, we receive the money from etsi but we are the ones who pay printify to them, that is, etsi is not going to pay printify directly, so that is why
[25:17] we must connect a debit credit card or in this case PayPal or Pioneer to be able to pay for the products to printify. So in this case they will be offering you any of these four options. So here you can choose the best alternative for you and in case you are wondering,
[25:33] I personally use a credit card because there are many banks that give you cashback or what are points, which is basically giving you back a part of what you bought. you are paying is something that has benefited me because it is basically paying printify but at the same time earning some money so if
[25:47] you have the opportunity to work with a credit card I really recommend it. But find out well what are the benefits that your bank gives you and then if we go down a little more we are going to find what is print Premium which is basically a paid subscription with
[26:01] printify where they allow you to have a 20% discount on everything their products are. the price of printify Premium monthly is $29,990 and if you want to pay it, I recommend that
[26:13] you can use the code Alison 30 here and they will give you a free month of everything that is printify Premium. I recommend that you can use this only when you have sales if you do not have
[26:25] a sale. It is preferable not to activate it yet and here lastly nothing more so that you take into account what I mean, these for example are the different colors and models of Vela Canvas, which is a type of t-shirt with the supplier Monster digital and the prices without printify Premium range from
[26:42] 1093 to 1557 but if you pay printify Premium they would be offering it to you from only 9.13 so once we finish with this the configuration with our account in printify is ready and by the way
[26:55] After that I recommend that you can see my gr gr guide where I explain step by step everything you need to know about print on demand I will be leaving you the link in the description of my video And finally I would like to give you certain tips to keep your account safe since especially when we are
[27:10] new stores you may receive certain messages from people who pose as ets and try to take advantage of you and ask for your bank account or personal information, so just so that you can
[27:22] be clear, you must keep in mind that one you do not need to have an amount of money in your bank for etsy, that is, etsy is not going to tell you that you need 200 00 in your bank account to be able to open an account or to be able to process an order, if you receive a message like
[27:39] this, it is probably not etsi but a person trying to get your information. two, no person needs your email to a purchase if you receive a message through etsi saying hey I need your email because it won't let me make a sale in your store
[27:55] this could be a scam basically what they do is collect your email and then send you an email posing as etsi asking for your bank account etc. and thirdly never put your card number in an external link to the etsi page which I also
[28:12] know can be obvious to many people But it is always good to remind you and just so you have an idea something like this type of messages that they send especially look like When we have just opened our etsi store because they know that we have no experience and that we do not know how it works
[28:28] So if you receive this type of messages we can simply mark it as spaw Alison how do I make sure if this message is really from etsy or from someone trying to go through
[28:40] etsi within your messages on etsi we are going to have a box where it says from etsy That is to say from etsy If it comes from here it means that yes it is an official message from etsi that
[28:52] they are very unlikely to write to us but it does come from inbox which is basically our inbox and it is someone trying to go through etsi so it is simply not and we must send it to spa So I hope after this video you are ready to start your business PR on demand let me
[29:09] know if you have any questions or queries in the comments if I will be happy to help you and if this video helps you at all I would be very grateful if you could like it and consider subscribing It's totally free and it would really help me a lot, see you in the next video
[29:22] bye and
