This guide explains how to create a product for WooCommerce from Printumo, what gets created in WooCommerce, and what you can (and shouldn’t) edit.
Before you start
Your WooCommerce store must be connected to Printumo
The Printumo WooCommerce plugin must be installed and connected
Create and publish a product to WooCommerce
Create your product in Printumo (choose sizes/options, set your retail price, and generate mockups)
Go to Products in Printumo
Click Add to WooCommerce on the product you want to publish
What gets created in WooCommerce
Printumo creates the product directly in your WooCommerce catalog using the WooCommerce REST API:
Product title (your product name)
Description (full product details)
Short description (product summary)
Images (product mockup images)
Price (your retail price)
Variations (size, color, and other options you configured)
SKU (product identifier)
Automatic tagging (the magic part)
The Printumo plugin automatically detects when Printumo creates a product and tags it as a Printumo product by adding a special marker in the background.
Why it matters
Orders for these tagged products are automatically sent to Printumo for fulfillment
Orders containing non-Printumo products won’t be sent to Printumo (you fulfill those yourself)
You can safely sell a mix of Printumo and regular products in the same store
How you can see it in WooCommerce
Open the product in WooCommerce admin
Scroll to Custom Fields
Look for
printumo_product=yes
What you’ll see in WooCommerce admin
After Printumo creates a product, it appears like any other WooCommerce product:
Products → All Products: name, image, price, status
Product edit page: standard fields filled in (type, images/gallery, categories/tags if assigned)
Can you edit Printumo products?
Yes—most fields are safe to edit:
✅ Title and description
✅ Prices
✅ Categories and tags
✅ SEO settings
✅ Visibility (catalog/search)
✅ Featured image position
Be careful with:
⚠️ Variations: Printumo needs the exact variations it created to fulfill correctly
Don’t edit:
❌ SKU (Printumo uses it to identify the product)
❌ Custom Fields (don’t remove the
printumo_productmarker, or orders won’t be sent to Printumo)
