You can place a manual order directly from your Printful Dashboard—great for testing products, ordering samples, or sending custom items without connecting an online store.
While you can order without an account, we recommend signing up to easily track your status and save product templates for the future. Please note that items in your cart aren't saved indefinitely, so be sure to save your order as a draft if you need to finish it later.
