CATALOG

Curated product lists

The AI finds the exact items you want from the Printify catalog. You get a list of available products that match your design needs.

VARIANTS

Selected product options

Your agent identifies the specific colors, sizes, and materials available. This ensures the product matches your specific design requirements.

LISTINGS

Live store products

The AI pushes the finished product to your store. Your items appear in your shop with all necessary details populated.

HUMAN

Final design review

You remain in control of the actual artwork. The AI handles the technical setup, but you decide which designs are ready for the shop.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI upload my design files?

    No. You must provide the design files or URLs to your agent so it can include them in the product creation.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my existing product prices?

    No. The agent only uses the tools to create and publish new products; it does not have tools to modify existing pricing.

  • 03

    Does the AI handle the shipping settings?

    No. Shipping settings and store configurations are managed within your Printify and storefront settings, not through this MCP.

  • 04

    Can I review the product before it goes live?

    Yes. You can instruct your agent to create the product first without publishing it, allowing you to check the details in your Printify dashboard.

  • 05

    Can the AI delete products from my shop?

    No. There are no tools provided to delete or remove products from your store.
