👋 Thank you for stopping by, your support means a lot!
👋 For those of you that are new around here and not yet used to my strange accent…
Itsy = Etsy 🤭
You should hear mine. Greetings from Turkey. I am one of your newer fans.
Thank you for subscribing your support means a lot! Turkey is so far away from New Zealand I’ve never had the chance to visit but would love to someday 🌞
Thanks Sarah, do you have a video to link your etsy store to printify? 🙌😀
@@grandmasterbruce I do! I have a step-by-step tutorial here: https://youtu.be/7ZlZFPBWC74
Love from Pakistan ❤

Time to grow a brand that outlasts Etsy
I think that is an excellent point – reliance on a 3rd party platform is a precarious situation to be in, business wise. I love the motto of create a brand that outlasts it!
Great video as always! I’m thinking of choosing the Shopify Starter store, but is it the same as Etsy where I have to pay up front for POD products? Thanks again!
Great question. Yes, it is the same as Etsy. It is good to keep in mind that the ability to be a payment processor is not given out lightly. When any payment processor – such as Etsy, or Shopify, collects payments – they legally have many obligations, and one of them is to handle chargebacks & protect customers from fraud. Therefore, only they can hold & access the customer funds.
Which is why if you plugin a POD app to Shopify, that POD app has no way to access the funds. Shopify has securely collected the money the customer paid, they are processing it and making sure it is not fraudulent, and they can only distribute it to the legal owner of the money – you, not the POD app.
I’m looking to start an Etsy competitor website. Need funding but already have the website created and it will be owned by someone in USA and not China nor stockholders. It will be owned by all that post.
Thanks Sarah 👍 for sharing alternatives to Etsy because I was considering opening a Etsy shop but have reconsidered it and changed my mind. Instead I will use an alternative. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Sarah.
Thanks David, although just a note – I’m not saying that Etsy is bad, and this video doesn’t tell anyone not to sell on Etsy. I still sell on Etsy. But I’ve had lots of people tell me they’ve decided that Etsy is a website they want to use and they want alternatives. I’m of the opinion that no website or platform is better than the other, just that they each have their own pros and cons 6:57 if Etsy’s pros match up with what you want, sell on there. If they don’t, sell elsewhere!
I like the idea of the Prinitfy Pop-up store, not having to have cash set aside for sales. Now if I integrate that with the Shopify Starter plan to get the store design, will I be responsible for paying for my merchant before it ships, or do I still have the benefit of Printify paying those fees? Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for the video. Great information.
Wow! Once again you go above and beyond what most other YouTubers are offering, Sarah! Thanks! The one thing that wasn’t 100% clear was: with a Shopify Starter shop do I have to front up the costs of the print-on-demand items for those first couple of days? Or does it work like a Printify Pop-Up store as far as that goes?
Thank you! So, for the Starter Store, you’ll still need to cover the production costs. It is just a cheaper, simpler way of setting up a working Shopify store, compared to their usual accounts – but it doesn’t have any deal with Printify or anything where they’ll cover the cost for you. Good question.
@@WholesaleTed Thank-you ! Hey, Sarah, could you please do us a video on the problem of customer service on Etsy as a seller, vs other POD platforms, including the option of digital downloads. It would be much appreciated, if possible. Thanks again. 🙂
I just love how Sara is pronouncing her Ps. Makes me want to drink a Pickled Pomegranate Peppermint Patty (cocktail)
Haha! YouTube really struggled with picking up my letters in it’s auto captions today. When editing it, lots of P’s got mistranslated, LOL, and it kept translating me saying “Etsy” as “YY” 😂😂😂
@@WholesaleTedlol I love the accent. This is your trademark. This, and your love for POD
I think Etsy is better worth it for digital products, not actual physical POD products. Well, until they get rid of all the sellers that are selling copyrighted designs and such that they don’t have rights to; but that holds true to all POD platforms. All in my opinion. To be successful at POD, no matter the platform, you have to be consistent on new products and designs.
This is why I’m subscribed to you, you give great alternatives and lessons, I always learn something new from you
New subscriber here … Your videos are great. Can you suggest the best platform to sell digital prints
Thanks for all your great info! RE: Printify pop-up stores are evolving and I opened one to make sure my Etsy shop listings are elsewhere should disaster strike. I was able to purchase my own domain name and direct it to the pop-up shop. I’m not yet able to do any SEO optimization or re-arrange items when they are listed. Nor can I change categories, but I reached out to Printify who said changes will be rolled out soon (hopefully before Q4). I like that I can price my items lower than in my Etsy shop, but I can’t offer free shipping. And if I have more than one size (think 11oz and 15oz mugs) priced at different prices, I need to make sure I highlight the lower priced one when publishing for it to appear as a lower priced item.
Thanks for the great videos, you always seem to bring hope when I feel like throwing in the towel. I have been thinking about these options for a while now, but I am concerned about returns and cancellations. I know there is a ‘no returns’ policy but to be fair, I would like to cover lost or damaged goods. Could you tell me a little more about Printify’s 1 month policy in this regard. Do I ask the customer to request for a refund, providing a photo or video evidence , within 7 days, and if it seems valid, put in a refund request to Printify within a month? Sorry if there is an obvious answer that is eluding me.🤔. Thanks Sara.
Great video, explained well.
I just got a wake up call last week on Etsy. I been doing it for a year and starting to get momentum. We went on vacation last week and I logged in, I was out of country. They locked my account, shut down my store, and there was no one to talk too. I tried for 5 days to get someone. I couldn’t sleep thinking my store was gone. All of a sudden they sent me a reset password link and I was able to get it back up and going. I have started this week making me a Shopify Website. I will let my Etsy do it’s thing but I will not focus as much on it as I have. I also do Amazon and it’s been doing great but I totally get what your saying
Thank you Sara! ❤
