Integrations

Connect Printful to your ecommerce store

Connect Printful from Settings > Integrations so products from your Printful store appear in your JourneyCARE Ecommerce store, customer orders are created in Printful automatically, and fulfillment and shipping details sync back to JourneyCARE. You need an Ecommerce store first — see Set up an ecommerce online store. For how print-on-demand merchandise and non-dues revenue work, see the Printful integration overview.

What syncs after you connect

After the connection is set up, products, orders, and fulfillment details sync between Printful and your JourneyCARE Ecommerce store.

  • Product Import — Import all products from a specific Printful store to the selected Ecommerce store location.

  • Product Synchronization — Product creation, modification, and deletion are reflected in real time.

  • Order Creation — An order is automatically created in the connected Printful store whenever an order is placed in the Ecommerce store.

  • Order Fulfilment Sync — Shipping information syncs from Printful, including partial and complete fulfillments.

  • Notifications — After partial or complete fulfillment, users receive email notifications, and Printful supplies the shipping details.

Shipping profiles and live rates

Live rates at checkout come from a system-generated Printful shipping profile that is created and configured automatically.

  • For existing installations, syncing or updating Printful products can activate the profile and begin showing live rates at checkout.

  • Products must remain assigned to the Printful shipping profile. Removing products from the profile disables live-rate calculation for those products.

  • If the Printful shipping profile is deleted, it is not recreated automatically. Reinstalling the Printful integration restores the profile.

Things to note

A few Printful limitations affect imported products and order creation.

  • Product descriptions are not pulled from Printful during import due to Printful store limitations.

  • Products should be published only after verification, because some products are delivered only to certain locations.

  • The delivery address must be correct. With incorrect delivery information, the order is not created or synchronized in Printful.
