Putting your Etsy shop in Vacation Mode affects how it syncs with Printful. Here’s what to expect and how it affects your ability to manage orders and products.
Shop visibility and functionality
- Your Etsy listings are hidden from search and shop visitors.
- Customers can’t place new orders while your shop is in Vacation Mode.
- You can still access your account, respond to messages, and fulfill existing orders from before Vacation Mode was activated.
How it affects your Printful integration
- Your Etsy store and product listings remain synced with Printful.
- You won’t be able to add new products to Etsy through Printful while Vacation Mode is on.
- Since customers can’t place new orders, there’s nothing new to sync during this time.
- Any Etsy orders placed before Vacation Mode was turned on will still appear in Printful and can be fulfilled as usual.
What happens when you return
- Once you turn off Vacation Mode, your Etsy listings reappear in your shop and search results; typically within 10 minutes.
- New orders placed on Etsy will start syncing with Printful automatically again.
