Shopify product creation with Printful’s Embedded Maker

A seamless product creation workflow is one of the biggest advantages you can give yourself as a Shopify merchant. The fewer steps it takes to design products, publish them, and get them in front of customers, the faster you can grow your store. 

That’s exactly why we’re introducing the new Embedded Design Maker – a streamlined Shopify product creation workflow built directly into your Shopify admin.

With Printful’s new Shopify Embedded Design Maker, you can design, customize, and publish print-on-demand products without ever leaving Shopify. It’s faster, simpler, and aligns perfectly with Shopify’s native interface, helping merchants improve the Shopify listing process and bring new products to market with fewer clicks.

Key takeaways

• The new Shopify Embedded Design Maker lets you create, customize, and publish Printful products in your Shopify account without switching platforms.

• This streamlined Shopify product creation flow reduces steps, saves time, and makes listing products much easier for both new and experienced merchants.

• Early testing shows the embedded experience helps more sellers publish their first product, improving conversion and reducing workflow friction.

• The updated flow aligns with Shopify’s native interface, resulting in a smoother and more intuitive Shopify Printful integration.

What’s new

The Embedded Design Maker brings the full Printful design experience inside your Shopify dashboard. Instead of switching back and forth between platforms, you can now:

All from within one seamless environment.

Compared to the previous workflow, this is a major upgrade. The new embedded experience is cleaner, more intuitive, and built to match Shopify’s UI standards, making the entire Shopify Printful integration feel more native than ever before.

Why this matters for merchants

Here’s how the new embedded experience improves your daily workflow. 

A faster, more intuitive workflow

You won’t need to jump between tabs or juggle different dashboards to create and list products. Everything happens in one place, keeping the creative flow going.

No platform switching

With the Shopify Embedded Design Maker, every part of the process – from product selection to mockups to publishing – happens inside Shopify. This reduces friction for both new and experienced merchants.

Fewer steps to publish products

The new flow cuts down the time it takes to list a new item. Fewer clicks. Fewer redirects. More publishing.

Aligned with Shopify’s interface

The entire experience was built to match Shopify’s native look and feel. The transitions, layout, and controls mirror what you already know. If you’re familiar with Shopify, you’ll feel right at home.

This improvement supports a smoother print-on-demand Shopify workflow, especially for merchants building their catalog quickly.

Early results: A smoother path to your first published product

To ensure this experience truly benefits our merchants, we rigorously tested the Embedded Design Maker.

We focused on removing obstacles, speeding up the process, and making it easier to bring your ideas to life. The new Shopify product creation flow has been proven to help more sellers successfully publish their first product.

This is the ideal starting point for anyone launching their store and a major win for existing merchants expanding their catalog.
