How to Add Design Variations to Printify Etsy Listings

Creating Listings with Multiple Design Options on Etsy

To offer different design options for the same product on Etsy using Printify, create product drafts for each design while ensuring the same product model variations.

Use the first draft as a template to copy and create additional design options.

After setting up the drafts, save them with distinct names for easy identification.

Creating Duplicate Listings for Phone Cases

The duplicate feature on the listing page allows you to create copies of products with the same phone models.

It's recommended to limit duplicates to three to avoid excessive variations.

Drafts can be published to get SKU numbers, and mock-ups can be downloaded to showcase different designs.

When setting up product variations, it's recommended to use no more than three or four options.

It's important to update the SKU, price, and quantity information to reflect both variations.

Etsy's system may wipe out existing SKU and pricing information, requiring manual re-entry and copying of SKU numbers for each variant.

Automating Order Submission for Product Variations

Order submission will be automated, even for draft listings, to save time on manual fulfillment.

For products with two variations, like a t-shirt, a third variation for the design option can be added.

The process involves creating product drafts on Printify for all design options and then listing them on Etsy, with the option to publish and edit a draft for convenience.

To create a third variation, the design information will be added to the color variation instead of the size.

The individual options in the color variation will be deleted and replaced with a combination of color and design names.

It's important to keep the names short and clear, and to provide mock-up text for customers to differentiate between designs.

To add a third variation to a listing with only two options, ensure both variations are listed and then apply the changes.

Copy and paste SKU numbers from Printify for each color and design option to sync orders.

Offering different design options in the same listing is feasible, as they are the same product, eliminating shipping issues.
