Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce”, “drop shipping” and “printing” for “on demand”, “logistics” and “fulfillment”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “on demand” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “drop shipping” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “logistics” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “printing” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “fulfillment” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.5%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 285.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,154 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce”, “drop shipping” and “printing” for “on demand”, “logistics” and “fulfillment”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “on demand” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “drop shipping” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “logistics” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “printing” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “fulfillment” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “drop shipping”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “printing”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles6 of the last 10 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

Cart and Checkout pages stopped loading when this plugin was in use.

None of my products from printify will publish to my website anymore. I’ve tried everything… Removed the plugin, removed the API keys and webhooks, disconnected my website from printify account, reinstalled the plugin, reconnected my store to my website, disabled plugins… Nothing I can do to get products to publish to my site anymore. SUPER frustrating!!! Everything was working fine a couple weeks ago and all of the sudden boom, nothing. I think the latest version of WP updating might have changed something with the way the plugin was working, IDK. I’m out of options. Not happy. This topic was modified 5 months ago by sowerswebtech.

Wasted a ton of my clients money and my time as well. Short review is, it only works sometimes, sort of and unpredictable results occur constantly. Images won’t load. Color options won’t load. Publishing errors that don’t tell you anything other than it didn’t work.I am a developer of 30 years, and I know really bad software when I see it. We had to get our client a different solution.Printify’s tech support is really poor and slow.DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN. This topic was modified 10 months, 1 week ago by gripmediapdx.

It only pulls in the standard shipping cost for a product, not any options for economy or express. I have been going back and forth with Printify and they tell me that even though I can’t set any shipping options on a woocommerce product, this plugin will pull in and offer all shipping options for that product, but it only pulls in the standard shipping and they just tell me I’m wrong lol
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ samlangdon2.2y ago
So far the calculations appear to be correct for me, but this plugin slows down your website as the Printify API is called multiple times on the basket and checkout pages. I’d rather not go through the faff of coding against the Printify API from scratch, so I’ve customised the get_shipping_rates function in the Printify_Shipping_API class for the plugin on my site for now. Nothing fancy – I’m saving the Printify API results in PHP session after it’s called for the first time and using that until the request (basket contents & shipping address) changes, but it dramatically reduces basket & checkout page load time. Session seemed more appropriate than object/transient storage as I imagine there won’t be a lot of crossover with people having a similar shipping address buying identical items within a short period of time. I’ve shared the code with Printify via my support ticket and suggested they implement something like this in the plugin. In the meantime, I’ve disabled auto updates for the plugin on my site and will wait to see what happens in future versions. Happy to share my code if anyone wants it, but comes with no warranty! Thanks,Sam

The title pretty much sums up this overlooked plugin by the Printify dev team. The plugin is in desperate need of a complete overhaul and has been for years. The latency from its jquery scripts will extend load times of certain events such as adding/removing an item from the cart or navigating to checkout by 2-3 seconds. The Printify API works great and I highly suggest developing around that instead. This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by Moobs.

The Printify plugin is superb. If you follow instructions it does everything you could want from a POD plug-in. And the customer service is great even if you don’t get the answer you want
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Martine3.7y ago
If you follow all the (hard to find) instructions, the plugin works fine and syncs / imports the products without issue.Or at least – no matter what I do and how often I unselect the mockups, they keep getting imported. Not a huge deal, but it does add manual work to clean up the media files after every import.It also makes use of the basic attributes setting per product, so I have to add them manually to the Products > Attributes page *and* link them all manually at Printify. With all the colors and sizes, this takes a *lot* of time. But this way, I can use Swatches and make the shop look a whole lot better. Would be nice if the plugin did more than the absolute minimum, and if anyone knows how to actually prevent the mockups from importing, I’m all ears 🙂
