Whenever a customer places an order on Etsy it is automatically sent to Printful to be fulfilled. This means you can fully 100% automate your orders with Printful for passive online income.

There never used to be a direct integration to connect Printful with your Wix store. You can now integrate directly. There was a workaround using a third party app called Ecwid as a link between the two. You firstly needed to install the Ecwid app onto your Wix site and create a Ecwid account. Once you have an account you then need to install the Printful app on the Ecwid app store. Links to instructions below:
