What are the limitations of shareable templates?

Here’s what you should note: Product color and size selection will be based on your location which you can change by clicking on the globe at the top right corner. If your product template has an embroidery design, the first recipient will have to pay an embroidery digitization fee . If the recipient wants to buy the product in bulk through the template link, only the same size and color can be ordered at once. For example, to order 20 blue t-shirts in size L and 15 black in size XL, the recipient needs to place 2 separate orders via the same shared link.

Do the recipients need to register?

No , they can order the product without creating a Printful account.

Can I make it so the recipient doesn’t have to pay?

Yes. You can customize the sharing settings and allow people to get their items without paying. In this case, the template owner will have to make the payment before the orders are fulfilled and shipped. Once someone places an order in their size, it will appear with a Draft tag on your Orders page. You need to confirm orders one at a time. First, click on an order, scroll down to the Confirm order button, select it, and review the details before paying for the order.

What’s required from the recipient?

The recipient can select the color and size of the product, and they need to fill out shipping and payment details .

Can I add users to my Printful account?

Yes, you can! To add users to your Printful account, or to modify the user roles, go to your Printful dashboard then to settings and then click users . There are three roles that you can assign to new users: Admin, Manager, and Designer. In that section, you’ll also find the full list of permissions for user roles. Note that all Admins can change the roles anytime in the account settings and it’s possible to have access to only one Printful account per email. So if the person you want to add to your account already has access to another Printful account, they need to use a different email address to be added to your account.

Who can track the orders?

Orders can be tracked by those who paid for them. As a result, you will receive tracking information on your Dashboard if you choose to pay for all orders.

How can I use a discount code when ordering merch?

You can use coupons during the checkout process. You can add the code during the 3rd step in the Review order page. Enter the code at the bottom of the page in the Discount code field.
