Product Templates

What Are Product Templates?

Think of product templates like cookie cutters for your Printify store. They're pre-made products that you can use again and again!

What Gets Copied?

  • Product type ✅

  • Price ✅

  • Variants (sizes, colors) ✅

  • Image placement ✅

  • Titles, descriptions and tags (optional) ✅

  • Sales channel settings (example: Etsy Free Shipping) ✅

  • All other product information ✅

What Doesn't Get Copied?

❌ Mockups selection - the newly created products will have the default mockups

Sounds like a bummer but no need to worry, take a look at our Product Mockups section to learn how to export your mockups (and custom mockups soon)

Creating Template Groups 📁

Template groups are like folders that help keep your products organized. Here's how to make one:

  1. Go to your Printify shop and set up your products

  2. Open our app and click "Product Templates"

  3. Click "Create New Group"

  4. Pick your shop

  5. Select the products you want in the group

  6. Click "Update Group" to save

It's that simple! 🎉

Making the AI Work Better for You 🤖

The titles, descriptions and tags copy over from your templates to your new products, but you have the highly recommended option to use AI to generate them for you and replace them in one click!

The AI looks at two things to create product titles and descriptions for each product:

  1. Your design image

  2. Your template title

Example:

Image shows: Dad and son
Template title: "Premium T-shirt"
AI can create: "Father & Son Premium T-shirt"

Pro Tips! 💡

  • Always use clear template titles

  • Shorter works better

  • Use custom prompting in the AI settings to further optimize the results

  • Don't leave titles blank

  • Make sure titles match what the product actually is

  • If any updates are made to a template on Printify, delete and re-add the product template on our software to apply the new changes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid ⚠️

  • Using vague template titles

  • Forgetting to update your groups
