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.

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.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

6 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.

    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

    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

    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 🙂
