🧭 About “Connect Existing Product” in Printify

Printify allows you to link a product that already exists in your WooCommerce or Shopify store — but the process isn’t a direct “button” like “Connect Existing Product.”
Instead, it’s done through the product editing workflow inside Printify.

🔧 Here’s How It Actually Works (Step-by-Step)

🩵 STEP 1 — Create Your Product in WooCommerce

1. Go to WooCommerce → Products → Add New.
2. Set up your product manually with:
   • Global attributes (Color, Size, etc.)
   • Variations and SKUs for each variant.
3. Publish it — this creates your beautiful, structured, swatch-ready product on your site.

💚 STEP 2 — Go to Printify → “My Products”

1. In your Printify dashboard, click My Products.
2. Click “Add Product” (top-right corner).
3. Choose your print provider and product (e.g., T-shirt, hoodie, etc.).
4. Design your product in the editor (upload your art, adjust placement, etc.).
5. When you’re done, instead of publishing directly, click “Save as Draft.”

💜 STEP 3 — Manually Link Your WooCommerce Product to Printify

Now, you have two separate versions of the same design:

• One on WooCommerce (your structured product)
• One on Printify (the backend design file)

Here’s what you do:

1. In Printify, open that product draft.
2. Click “…” (three dots) on the top-right corner of the product tile in “My Products.”
3. Choose “Replace existing product” or “Connect” (this appears if a product with a similar name or SKU exists on your connected store).
   • If you don’t see it yet, ensure your WooCommerce integration is active and synced.
4. Select the WooCommerce product you want to connect.
5. Map each variant correctly (color/size → SKU).
6. Save your changes.

✅ Printify will now use that product for fulfillment whenever someone orders it from your WooCommerce store.
