Shopify is asking me for a "shipping origin address". What should I put?
We recommend setting your shipping origin in Shopify to your company address. Due to our global fulfilment model, we’re unable to guarantee the exact shipping location for your items. We use various factors to determine the most cost-effective and fastest option for each order.
Do you have a user guide for your Shopify dropshipping solution?
Yes. Our Shopify fulfilment user guide is available both online and in PDF format.
If I delete an order in Prodigi, will it disappear in Shopify?
No. If you ignore or delete an unsubmitted order in your Prodigi account, it won’t affect the order in Shopify.
Does Prodigi integrate with Shopify?
Yes, we do! Our Shopify integration enables you to automate the fulfilment of your Shopify print on demand orders.
Simply connect your Shopify store to Prodigi, choose which print on demand products you want us to fulfil, and our software will automatically route your orders to our global print network for printing, packing and shipping.
For more information, read our step-by-step user guide, or watch our video on how to fulfil your Shopify orders with Prodigi.
How can I connect my Shopify store to Prodigi?
Sign up for a free Prodigi account, navigate to ‘Sales channels’ located in your Prodigi dashboard, then click ‘Connect your Shopify store’ on the Shopify tile.
How long will it take to connect my store?
This depends on the number of product listings in your Shopify store. Generally speaking, though, it should only take a few minutes to import all of your products and connect your store.
Once your products have been successfully imported, you’ll receive an email confirming that your Shopify store connection is complete. You’ll then be able to configure your products by navigating to your store connection on the ‘Sales channels’ page in your Prodigi dashboard. Please wait for your products to successfully import before trying to configure your products.
You only need to connect your store once. If you haven’t received your confirmation email one hour after connecting your store, try disconnecting your store and then re-connecting. If you’re still having issues connecting your store, please contact us at support@prodigi.com.
Can I create my product listings in Prodigi and then sync them to my Shopify store?
Not currently, no. You’ll need to create your Shopify listings first, before importing them into Prodigi by connecting your store from within your Prodigi dashboard. However, we do hope to offer this functionality in the near future.
Our product preview feature includes a range of mockups, with a particular focus on wall art. For our most popular print on demand wall art products, we offer 3D mockups that provide three different perspectives: angled, close-up and face-on views. These 3D mockups are available for the following globally fulfilled products:
- Framed art prints (Classic)
- Canvases (Stretched, Framed, Eco and Eco framed)
- Stationery (Wrapping paper)
Traditional flat mockups are available for other print on demand products like home decor and phone cases. While product previews are currently limited to a select range of products, we’ll be expanding our 3D mockup offering to include more bestselling items, with the goal of eventually covering our entire product catalogue.
Alternatively, you can use our free mockup generator to create mockups for your product listings, as well as any mockups you’ve previously created with other applications or platforms – just remember to assign Prodigi as the fulfilment partner.
Once you’ve created your mockup, simply follow Shopify’s instructions on how to create a product listing, then connect your store to Prodigi.
How do I select which products I want Prodigi to fulfil?
Please refer to the section titled ‘Configuring your products’ in the Shopify user guide for a step-by-step guide on how to set up your products for automatic fulfilment.
Can I change the image on a product after configuring it for automatic fulfilment?
Absolutely! To change an image on a product configured for automatic fulfilment, simply click ‘Edit’, select the bin icon at the bottom to remove and upload a new image, then hit ‘Save’ to finish.
What do I need to do when an order comes through?
If you’ve configured your products for automatic fulfilment, then you don’t have to do a thing! Your order will be automatically sent for fulfilment, and we’ll keep you updated on its progress by sending you order status updates as soon as they’re available.
Will Prodigi keep me informed of any order status updates?
Of course! Order status updates will automatically be sent directly to both your and your customers’ Shopify accounts. You can also view the details of your order in your Prodigi dashboard, and we’ll provide any relevant tracking information as soon as it becomes available.
Can I edit the delivery address on an order?
Once an order has been submitted, it may not be possible to edit it, as some orders go straight into production.
We recommend configuring a pause window for your orders to delay them from entering production, ensuring an edit window is always available.
You can configure a pause window in your dashboard preferences.
Can I personalise my Shopify orders?
Yes, you can! If any of your products require personalisation, such as a custom image, simply leave the product and/or image fields blank at the product configuration stage. Upon receiving an order for this product, we’ll send you a notification prompting you to add any outstanding assets, after which you can submit your order to us for fulfilment.
How do I remove Shopify orders from my Prodigi dashboard?
Log in to your Prodigi dashboard, navigate to ‘Orders’, then click into the order that you’d like to remove. Next, click the three dots in the upper right-hand corner and select ‘Remove’ (taking this action will remove the order from your Prodigi dashboard but won’t affect the order in your Shopify account).
How do I disconnect my Shopify store from Prodigi?
Log in to your Prodigi dashboard, navigate to ‘Sales channels’, then click ‘Configure’ next to the name of the store connection you want to delete. Next, click ‘Settings’, then select ‘Delete this channel’.
Do I need to provide an IOSS number?
No, you will need to obtain your own IOSS number. Unlike Etsy, the responsibility for registration, reporting and filing falls on individual sellers using Shopify.
How do I set up shipping rates for products, ready for automatic fulfilment?
For each product listed in your store and configured for automatic fulfilment with Prodigi, you can choose whether you’d like your order to be sent via a Budget, Standard or Express service, or Auto-select (only applicable for Wix, WooCommerce, Squarespace, BigCommerce and Adobe Commerce orders). Auto-select pulls in the shipping selected by your customer during the checkout process. For example, if you offer a choice of all three options in your store, we’ll select the service for shipment when we fulfil the order.
By default, we send all Shopify and Etsy orders via Standard delivery and all Wix, WooCommerce, Squarespace, BigCommerce and Adobe Commerce orders via Auto-select.
To set up shipping, navigate to the product configuration page for your store. Click on the ‘Configure’ button below the product that you’d like to set up. You’ll then see a tile labelled ‘Shipping’ with a drop-down menu. Select the desired shipping option, and your choice will be saved automatically for that product.
Can I create shipping profiles to publish on my Shopify store?
Not yet, but this feature is on our development roadmap.
For now, you’ll need to establish shipping profiles within your Shopify seller’s dashboard to set delivery charges for your customers. The shipping rate will be determined by the delivery country.
If you’d prefer to offer Budget or Express shipping options, you can customise your shipping preferences during the product configuration process after connecting your Shopify store to Prodigi.
Why is my product not showing correctly in the Prodigi dashboard, even though it's on Shopify?
When you edit or replace a product on Shopify, it may generate a new product in our system instead of updating the existing one. This occurs because the information received from Shopify might indicate that the original product was deleted or replaced, rather than simply edited.
Consequently, the edited product appears as a new listing in Prodigi, with unique IDs used for identification. While the original listing with all its configurations remains in our system, we’re unable to link it with the new product listing due to the differing IDs.
If you encounter this issue, you’ll need to toggle off the old version of the product for fulfilment in Prodigi, then add your product and image configurations to the new listing. This will ensure that any new orders you receive on Shopify will be fulfilled as usual.
Why aren't my new products/product variants showing?
When you add a new product or product variant to your Shopify store, it usually appears on Prodigi within a few minutes. However, it can occasionally take up to an hour. If your new items haven’t appeared after an hour, please check the following:
- Verify if your connection needs re-authorisation: Visit https://dashboard.prodigi.com/sales-channels and look for any re-authorisation links.
- Ensure your new products are in ‘Active’ or ‘Draft’ status: Prodigi only imports products with these statuses.
- Confirm your store is not in holiday mode: Holiday mode can prevent product imports.
If you’ve completed these steps and your products/product variants still haven’t appeared, please contact our support team.
