How Are Orders Synced Between Ecwid & Printful?
If you placed orders with Printful products, they should have Paid payment or Awaiting Processing fulfilment statuses to sync with Printful.
If you didn’t connect your PayPal or credit card with your Printful account, and the wallet is empty, orders will end up as Failed instead of going to fulfilment.
You can manually confirm the order in the Failed status.
Orders are synced every 15 minutes, but for them to come through to Printful, it could take up to an hour.
Can I sell Products In A Different Currency?
Printful detects your store’s currency automatically, and converts the matching retail price. You can always adjust the conversion rate by going to your Ecwid Control Panel settings>General>Regional settings.
For products leaving the U.S., Printful is legally required to list the pricing on each package, so the packing slip shows the pricing in USD. Printful will convert your currency to USD using the current exchange rate.
However, for orders sent within the U.S., pricing isn’t shown on the packing slip.
