Pricing & Plans Overview

Printify offers three main tiers: Free, Premium, and Enterprise. On the pricing page, they show:

• Free: $0/month — includes up to 5 stores, unlimited product designs, but no discounts.
• Premium: $29/month (or ~$24.99/month if billed annually) — adds discounts and more stores.
• Enterprise: Custom pricing — tailored for large operations, with deeper discounts and priority features.

Note: Premium subscription is non-refundable once billed.

Key Premium Features

When you upgrade to Premium, you get more than just discounts. Some of the standout features include:

• Up to 20% product discounts on most items in the catalog.
• Connect up to 10 stores instead of 5.
• Printify Connect support for order and production assistance.
• Early access to new features and premium tools.
• Savings when paying annually (lower monthly equivalent) vs monthly billing.

Product & Fulfillment Discounts

The biggest attraction of Premium is the up to 20% discount built into product and fulfillment costs. This discount applies automatically after you subscribe.

For example, a T-shirt that normally costs $9.61 might drop to ~$7.68 — a saving of about $1.93 per unit.

Free Trial & Promo Codes

Printify occasionally offers free trials or promotional coupons to try Premium without immediately paying. Some users see a “3-day trial” prompt when activating Premium, while others have found 30-day Premium free trials through codes like FP30.

Important notes:

• Coupons are applied via the Rewards Center or during subscription.
• A free Premium coupon usually can’t be used if you’ve already placed orders or had a trial.
• Promo code eligibility may depend on billing currency and account status.

When Premium Pays for Itself

To justify Premium’s $29 monthly cost, your per-unit savings should exceed that through volume. Rough benchmarks:

• If you save $1.50 per product, you need about 20 sales per month to break even.
• Higher-margin items or higher volume make Premium profitable faster.
• For consistent sellers, Premium often pays for itself within a few weeks.

However, if you’re just testing products or selling at low volume, the free plan may be more cost-effective initially.

How to Upgrade & Cancel

1. Go to your Printify dashboard → Pricing or Account settings.
2. Select “Premium” and choose monthly or yearly billing.
3. Enter payment information — your subscription starts immediately.
4. To avoid automatic renewal, cancel before the next billing cycle.

If you already have an active subscription, applying a new coupon often requires canceling first.

Is Printify Premium Worth It?

Here’s a quick checklist to decide:

• Selling 10–20+ units monthly? The discount likely offsets the fee.
• Running 6+ stores? Premium unlocks up to 10 store connections.
• High-cost products? A 20% discount saves significantly per order.
• Need faster support? Printify Connect adds value for active sellers.

Most experienced sellers recommend starting monthly and upgrading to annual only after consistent sales.
