Printify App Celebrates One Year, with Nearly a Million Products Created On The Go

Built from a four-person hackathon into the mobile home for Printify’s global seller base

WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Printify celebrates the first anniversary of the Printify App, its native iOS and Android application that lets merchants create products, manage orders, and run their print-on-demand business from anywhere. What started as a hackathon project a year ago has become a crucial way that many Printify sellers work, with hundreds of thousands of merchants now managing their businesses from their phones.

Since launch, the Printify App has shipped more than 50 versions across iOS and Android and reached over half a million unique users in 228 countries and territories. Merchants have used it to create close to a million products and publish more than 1.7 million listings – including republishes of products not originally created in the app – while connecting over 48K stores across Shopify, Etsy, TikTok Shop, and Pop-Up Store.

“We built the first version of the Printify App for fun, at our first-ever hackathon together with the Printful team. Printify didn’t have an app, and we wanted to see what a small team could pull off in a few days. A year later, watching 110,000 merchants use it every month still feels a bit surreal for something that started as ‘let’s just see what we can build,’” said Katrina Zelicka, Product Manager at Printify.

From a single orders page to a full mobile business

The Printify App was built from scratch by a four-person team – one product manager, one engineering manager, and one developer each for iOS and Android.

Its first version shipped with a single orders page. Over the past year, it has expanded into product creation, publishing, sales channel connections, merchant onboarding, and cart and account management, alongside a full design rework.

What started as a small project is now a mobile-first way for merchants to stay on top of their business wherever they are, and for new sellers to easily start their Printify journey from day one.

Built for the way merchants actually work

With the Printify App, merchants can connect sales channels, including Shopify, Etsy, TikTok Shop US, and Pop-Up Store, and switch seamlessly between multiple stores. They can browse the full product Catalog, then create, design, and publish products directly to connected stores.

Sellers can also update mockups, titles, descriptions, personalization settings, pricing, and publishing preferences along the way – including AI-generated mockups that can be shared straight to social media.

On the order side, merchants can view and filter orders, track statuses, access customer information, and edit, duplicate, cancel, or submit orders to production, including reviewing and approving personalized orders and creating manual or sample orders.

The app also gives merchants visibility into their Printify Balance, the ability to top up their account, and access to account settings and order or payment notifications – all without needing to open a laptop.

Recognized two years running

The Printify App has now been showcased at Amplified for two consecutive years, first as a fast-moving new experiment, and this year as a product marking its first full year in merchants’ hands.

Available now on iOS and Android

The Printify App is available worldwide on the App Store for iOS and on Google Play for Android. Merchants who previously installed Printify’s Android web-wrapper app automatically receive updates through the new app.

Merchants can share feedback anytime by heading to Account → Leave feedback in the app, which the team uses to shape future releases.
