Why Should I Click "Hide In Store" When Publishing From Printify?

Why Should you click "Hide In Store" When publishing products from Printify to Etsy?

The reason we recommend clicking "Hide In Store" on Printify when publishing your items to Etsy, is so that your item will not be visible to customers until you have uploaded your mockups to it and finalized the listing. Clicking "Hide in Store" just puts the Printify listing into your Draft folder on Etsy until you click the publish button when the listing is ready to be shown to customers and be live on Etsy.

This is NOT a requirement and you can just publish the listings as live immediately if you prefer!

Why does my Printify listing still show as "Hidden" after clicking "Hide in Store" but then making the listing live?

If you use the hide in store feature, Printify will not update to show that you listing is live on Etsy, it will just keep saying "Hidden" forever and that is OK. Any orders that come in for this item will still be fulfilled automatically like normal!
