What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• printful_list_stores

  List the stores this token can reach (id, name, platform type). A cheap way to confirm the token works, and where to find the store_id an ACCOUNT-level token needs. Printful: GET /stores.

• printful_list_catalog_categories

  List Printful's catalog categories (T-shirts, Mugs, Posters…) with their ids and parent ids — the filter for printful_list_catalog_products. Printful: GET /categories.

• printful_list_catalog_products

  List the blank products Printful can print on (id, title, brand, model, variant count, print-file placements), optionally filtered by category. Printful: GET /products.

• printful_get_catalog_product

  Fetch one catalog product with ALL its variants (size, color, variant_id, price, stock). Use the variant_id values when quoting shipping or building an order. Printful: GET /products/{id}.

• printful_get_catalog_variant

  Fetch one catalog variant and its parent product. Printful: GET /products/variant/{id}.

• printful_list_store_products

  List the Sync Products in a Manual-order / API store. For a Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce or other integrated store use printful_list_sync_products instead. Printful: GET /store/products.

• printful_get_store_product

  Fetch one product of a Manual-order / API store with all its Sync Variants — catalog variant, print files, retail price. For a Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce or other integrated store use printful_get_sync_product instead. Printful: GET /store/products/{id}.

• printful_list_sync_products

  List the products Printful has imported from an integrated store (Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce…), with how many variants are synced. Filter by status=unsynced to find products that still need a design or catalog variant. Printful: GET /sync/products.

• printful_get_sync_product

  Fetch one product imported from an integrated store (Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce…) with all its Sync Variants — catalog variant, print files, retail price, sync status. Ids come from printful_list_sync_products. Printful: GET /sync/products/{id}.

• printful_list_orders

  List the store's orders, newest first, optionally by status (draft, pending, failed, canceled, inprocess, onhold, partial, fulfilled, archived). Printful: GET /orders.

• printful_get_order

  Fetch one order: status, recipient, items, costs, and shipments with carrier and tracking links — the answer to 'where is my order?'. Printful: GET /orders/{id}.

• printful_calculate_shipping_rates

  Quote the shipping options (method id, name, rate, delivery-day estimate) for a set of items to an address. Only country_code is required (plus state_code for US/CA/AU). Changes nothing. Printful: POST /shipping/rates.

• printful_estimate_order_costs

  Price an order WITHOUT creating it: item, print, shipping and tax costs, plus retail totals. Same item shape as printful_create_draft_order. Changes nothing. Printful: POST /orders/estimate-costs.

• printful_get_file

  Fetch one File Library entry — processing status (ok / waiting / failed), dimensions, DPI and preview URLs. Poll this after printful_add_file. Printful: GET /files/{id}.

• printful_get_printfiles

  List the print areas (placements) and required print-file pixel sizes/DPI for each variant of a catalog product — what a design must match before mockups or orders. DTG is assumed unless technique is given. Printful: GET /mockup-generator/printfiles/{id}.

• printful_get_mockup_task

  Check a mockup-generation task: status (pending / completed / failed) and, when done, the mockup image URLs per placement and variant. Printful: GET /mockup-generator/task.

• printful_get_statistics

  Sales, costs, profit and order-count reports for a period of at most 6 months. Printful: GET /reports/statistics.

• printful_create_draft_order

  Create an order as a DRAFT — nothing is charged or produced. It must be confirmed later in the Printful dashboard, where the charge is shown. Each item needs one of variant_id (+ files), sync_variant_id, external_variant_id, warehouse_product_variant_id or product_template_id (+

• printful_update_draft_order

  Change a DRAFT order (unsubmitted orders only) — send only the fields to change. CAUTION: if you send `items`, it replaces the list: existing items not included (by id or external_id) are removed. The order stays a draft; nothing is charged. Printful: PUT /orders/{id} (never with

• printful_add_file

  Add a print file to the File Library from a public URL (PNG/JPG recommended). If a file with the same URL already exists it is returned instead. Processing is async — poll printful_get_file until status is ok. Printful: POST /files.

• printful_create_mockup_task

  Start generating product mockups for a design on a catalog product — returns a task_key; poll printful_get_mockup_task for the images. Heavily rate-limited (about 10/min for established stores, 2/min for new ones). Printful: POST /mockup-generator/create-task/{id}.
