Shipping Made Simple
Printful calculates shipping rates based on product type and destination. These rates are automatically synced with your store, giving customers clear expectations at checkout. You can also choose flat-rate or free shipping strategies to stay competitive.
Tracking and Notifications
Once an order ships, customers receive tracking details automatically. Keeping them updated builds trust and reduces the number of support questions you’ll need to handle.
Handling Customer Questions
Even though Printful fulfills the orders, your customers will contact you for support. Respond quickly and clearly to build loyalty. Common questions include shipping times, order changes and refunds.
Returns and Refunds
Printful processes returns for damaged or misprinted items. You’ll need to manage customer communication, but Printful takes care of replacements. Clear store policies on returns help avoid misunderstandings.
Scaling Support as You Grow
As your business expands, you may need tools like chatbots or helpdesk software to manage questions. Automating parts of support helps maintain response speed while keeping costs low.
