This article explains how to make changes to your existing products in Printumo and how those updates automatically appear in your connected Etsy and Shopify stores.
Prerequisites
You must have at least one shop connected to your Printumo account (Etsy or Shopify) and have already created products that are published to those shops.
How to Edit an Existing Product
Step 1: Find Your Product
Navigate to your products dashboard and locate the product you want to edit. Look for products marked as "finished" or "published."
Step 2: Enter Edit Mode
Click the "Edit Product" button on the product you want to modify. This will take your product back into editing mode.
Step 3: Make Your Changes
You can now modify any of the following:
Product title and description - Update your product name and details
Available sizes - Add or remove size options for your product
Framing options - Change which framing styles are available
Pricing - Adjust prices for individual variants (size and framing combinations)
Mockup images - Select different preview images for your product
Step 4: Complete the Editing Process
Work through the editing steps until you reach the "Preview" stage. This is the crucial step - your changes will only sync to your connected shops once you complete the full editing process and reach the Preview step.
What Happens When You Save Changes
Automatic Syncing
Once you complete editing and reach the Preview step, Printumo automatically updates your product in all connected shops. You don't need to do anything manually - the sync happens behind the scenes.
What Gets Updated
Your connected shops will receive updates for:
Product title and description changes
All product variants (new size and framing combinations)
Updated pricing for each variant
New mockup images
Platform-Specific Filtering
Printumo automatically filters out options that aren't supported by each platform. For example, if you add framing options that Etsy doesn't support, those won't appear in your Etsy store, but they will still be available in Shopify if that platform supports them.
Important Things to Remember
Changes Only Sync When Complete
Your edits won't appear in your connected shops until you finish the entire editing process. If you start editing but don't reach the Preview step, your changes remain as drafts.
Both New and Existing Variants Update
Whether you're adding new size/framing combinations or updating existing ones, all variants will be refreshed in your connected shops with the latest information.
No Manual Action Required
Once you complete editing, the sync to your shops happens automatically. You don't need to manually publish or update anything in Etsy or Shopify.
Troubleshooting
If your changes don't appear in your connected shops after completing the editing process:
Check your shop integrations - Ensure your shop connections are still active in your Printumo account settings
Allow processing time - Some platforms may take a few minutes to display updates
Refresh your shop listings - Try refreshing your shop's product listings after a few minutes
