Fulfillment options

Printify Choice Global Fulfillment (recommended)

Printify Choice Global Fulfillment, available for Etsy and Shopify, automatically fulfills eligible products locally in the US, Canada, UK, EU, and Australia. When you select this option, you’re choosing a network of providers rather than a single Print Provider.

Local fulfillment offers:

• Lower shipping fees
• Faster delivery

Expand your business internationally with ease by creating a single product that automatically adjusts for customers in the US, Canada, Australia, the UK, and the EU.

Single Print Provider fulfillment

When you create a product using a single Print Provider, all orders for that product will be fulfilled and shipped from that provider’s facility.

If the customer’s shipping address is outside the provider’s origin country, international shipping rates will apply. Depending on the destination country’s import regulations, additional customs duties or fees may also be charged upon delivery.

As a general rule, choose domestic production whenever possible. Use US-based Print Providers if most of your customers are in the US, and Canadian Print Providers if your main audience is in Canada.

Taxes

Taxes paid by the customer

• Customers may be charged tax on their order when purchasing through a marketplace (for example, Etsy). For stand-alone platforms like Shopify, merchants are responsible for setting up tax collection and calculation if required.
• Some orders may also incur customs duties or import fees, depending on their value and destination.

Taxes paid by the merchant

• Printify applies taxes to your orders based on the tax laws and regulations of the relevant region.

Tariffs

• Impact on product prices: Currently, there are no changes to product prices as a result of tariffs. Printify remains committed to keeping prices stable unless a change becomes absolutely necessary.

• Impact on operations: Tariffs are temporarily affecting the operations of some Print Providers. For detailed information, please refer to this article.
