Hi @linkxpeach, nice work getting your first four products made and the plugins installed.
If you designed those four in Printful, you don’t recreate them in WooCommerce by hand. You push them across from Printful, and they show up in your store:
- In your WordPress dashboard, open the Printful plugin and connect it to your Printful account (you approve the connection once).
- In your Printful dashboard, open your connected WooCommerce store, pick a product, and click Submit to store (sometimes shown as Push to store).
- After a minute or two, each product appears under Products > All Products in your WordPress admin.
Printful’s guide shows this with screenshots: https://help.printful.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014006980-How-do-I-configure-and-sync-my-WooCommerce-products
If you actually meant adding products directly in WooCommerce, that’s Products > Add New: name, price, image, then Publish. Steps here: https://woocommerce.com/document/managing-products/add-product/
To check your store, Products > All Products shows everything added so far. To see it the way a customer would, click your site name in the top toolbar and open your Shop page; that’s where visitors browse and buy.
Let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any follow-up questions.

Hi @linkxpeach!
How do you connect your WooCommerce to Printful on WordPress?
The Setup and Configuration section of the docs answers this question and more. Click here to go there now. In a nutshell:
- Once the WooCommerce and Printful plugins are both installed and activated on your site, you’ll have a new WP Admin menu item called Printful. Select that item, and then select the Connect tab.
- Click the Connect button to start the integration, and then click the Approve button to allow the integration.
Your Printful account will then be connected to your WooCommerce-enabled WordPress site.

From the screenshot, it looks like your site is connected to Printful and up-and-running. Your Printful products should be visible in your products menu, and on the site at https://lxpgaming.blog/shop/. Can you see them there?

Yes, but how do I go to my Shop? How do I make sure that someone pays for it? How do I make sure that someone go to my Shop?

At the moment, your site is in “Coming soon” mode. This is to prevent people from buying products before you are ready. Once you are ready, you can switch it to live mode, following the steps here: https://lxpgaming.blog/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-admin&path=%2Fcustomize-store
Your store does look as if it still needs to be fully configured, as it still needs navigation menus and a home page, but the products themselves are ready to go and your checkout should be working once you switch the store on to live.
Perhaps going through the following blog item might help: https://wordpress.com/go/web-design/how-to-choose-the-best-wordpress-theme/

When I take a look your site is quit a mess, also you obviously don’t have a clue on how to organise a site or o how to set up a shop. You must understand setting up an online shop comes with a lot of responsabilities.
A simple advice “look before you leap.” If things go wrong, unsatisfied customers can sue you. In the long run, that could cost you far more money than you could ever earn.

Adding products to a WooCommerce WordPress store is pretty simple. After installing and activating WooCommerce, go to Products → Add New in your WordPress dashboard. Enter the product name, description, price, images, and choose the appropriate product type (simple, variable, grouped, etc.).
You can also assign categories, tags, and add a short product description to make the product page more informative. Before publishing, double-check the pricing, inventory, shipping details, and product images to ensure everything is correct.
For stores with many items, importing products via a CSV file can save a lot of time. That’s the method I use when adding products in bulk.
