How to integrate a POD on Etsy

Important

To use any POD on Customily, the first thing you need to do is to create an account on that POD service. 

The first thing you need to do to offer POD products on Etsy, is to add them as a Production Partner. Etsy requires stores to disclaim who is fulfilling the products for them. So for Customily to be able to send the orders from Etsy to the POD we need this information to be added to your Etsy account.

If you haven't already, follow these steps to add the POD as a production partner on your Etsy.

    • - Production partner:  select the following statements

  5. Once done, you can click Show Preview to see how it will appear in your store.
  6. Click Save Partner and you are done!

Important

If you were already working with the POD on your Etsy store, you might have the Production Partner for them already created. You must check that you are using the same names as we provided in the table above, otherwise, Customily won't recognize them.

Once you have your POD account created, and the POD added as a Production Partner on your Etsy store you'll need to add the POD on Customily.

Add the POD information on Customily

  1. Log in to your Customily account
  2. Head on to Start or Store on the left menu
  3. Go to Settings and open the Integrations tab.
  4. If you have more than one store on your account, make sure you are changing the setting of the correct store by selecting it from the top left dropdown.

  8. Once you filled in all the information click Save Settings at the bottom of the page.

Keep in mind

Each POD requires slightly different information. You can check our articles on each POD to understand what information each one needs and how to obtain it.

 

Troubleshooting

If you get an Invalid Key message, this means you have entered the API key or token for that POD incorrectly. API keys and be very long numbers, so double-check that you are copying and pasting the entire number given by your POD.
