Connecting Printful to Webflow is a seamless process that allows you to easily integrate your online store with a powerful print-on-demand service. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to connect Printful to your Webflow website. So let’s get started!

Step 1: Sign up for Printful
Before we begin, you need to have a Printful account. If you don’t have one yet, head over to the Printful website and sign up for an account. It’s free and straightforward!

Step 2: Create a new store in Printful
Once you are signed in, navigate to the Stores tab in your Printful dashboard. Click on the “Add” button to create a new store. Select Webflow from the list of available platforms.

Step 3: Generate an API key
To connect your Webflow website with Printful, you need an API key. In your Printful dashboard, go to Settings > Stores and select your Webflow store. Scroll down until you find the API information section and click on “Generate” next to the API key field.

Step 4: Log in to your Webflow account
Now it’s time to switch over to your Webflow account. Log in and navigate to the Editor for the website where you want to connect Printful.

Step 5: Add custom code
In the Webflow Editor, click on Project Settings in the left sidebar menu. Then select Custom Code from the dropdown options.

Add HTML Embed Code

To connect Printful with your Webflow website, we need to add some custom HTML code. Locate the Head Code section and paste the following code:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $.ajax({
      url: "https://api.printful.com/webhooks",
      type: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      },
      data: JSON.stringify({
        "name": "Webflow Webhook",
        "url": "https://hooks.webflow.com/webhook/YOUR_WEBFLOW_WEBHOOK_URL",
        "trigger": "order/fulfilled"
      }),
      contentType: 'application/json',
    });
  });
</script>

Remember to replace the YOUR_API_KEY with the API key you generated in Step 3. Additionally, replace YOUR_WEBFLOW_WEBHOOK_URL with the URL of your Webflow webhook. To create a webhook in Webflow, you can refer to their documentation.

Save and Publish

Once you’ve added the code, click on the Save button at the bottom of the screen. Then publish your Webflow website to make the changes live.

Step 6: Test and Verify
To ensure that Printful is properly connected to your Webflow website, it’s crucial to test and verify. Place a test order on your website and check if it appears in your Printful dashboard under the Orders section.

If everything works as expected, congratulations! You have successfully connected Printful to Webflow.
