Print on Demand Setup
Sell custom print-on-demand products without managing inventory. We'll connect your Odoo store to Printful so products sync automatically, orders push for fulfillment, and tracking updates flow back to your customers.
Includes: Module installation, product sync, order workflow configuration, testing.
Sell Custom Products Without Touching Inventory
Print-on-demand lets you sell custom merchandise without warehouses, inventory counts, or shipping logistics. Design a product, list it in your store, and when someone buys it, Printful prints and ships it directly to your customer.
But connecting Printful to your Odoo store involves API configuration, product syncing, order automation, and shipping rate calculations. Get it wrong and you're stuck with manual order entry or confused customers.
We set up the integration properly so products flow in, orders flow out, and you can focus on selling instead of troubleshooting.
What's Included
Printful Account Connection Your Printful account linked to your Odoo store via API, with proper authentication and permissions.
Product Catalog Sync Your Printful products imported into Odoo with all variants, images, descriptions, and pricing intact.
Automatic Order Fulfillment When a customer places an order, it automatically pushes to Printful for production. No manual intervention required.
Shipping Rate Integration Real-time shipping rates from Printful displayed at checkout so customers see accurate costs.
Order Status Updates Webhook configuration so order status, tracking numbers, and delivery updates flow back to your store and your customers.
Inventory Sync Printful doesn't have inventory limits, but we configure the system so your store accurately reflects product availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Printful cost? Printful charges per item produced. You pay their base cost plus shipping when an order is placed. Your profit is the difference between your selling price and their cost. There are no monthly fees from Printful.
What about quality? Printful is one of the largest and most established print-on-demand providers. We recommend ordering samples of any product before you sell it.
Can I use my own shipping rates? You can mark up shipping if you want, but we recommend using Printful's real-time rates so customers see accurate costs.
What if a product is defective? Printful handles reprints and refunds for defective products. Their customer service deals directly with production issues.
Can I sell products from other suppliers too? Yes. Printful products can exist alongside regular inventory items in your Odoo store.
What about returns? Since products are custom-made, Printful's return policy is limited. We help you set up clear return policies for your store.
