Getting Started
Welcome To Express POD
Follow the simple steps below to create your account, connect your store and start selling personalised products with Express POD. Most sellers are fully set up and ready to launch their first product in less than 15 minutes.
Step 1 - Create Your Free Account
Before installing the Shopify app or connecting Etsy, you’ll first need an Express POD account. Your account gives you access to the following:
- Product catalogue
- Order management
- Store connections
Once your account has been created, please verify your email address and keep a note of your login details.
Step 2 - Install The Shopify App
Once your account has been created if you plan on selling on Shopify then you will need to install the Express POD Shopify app. Log into the app using the same email address and password you used when creating your Express POD account above, this will then:
- Connect your Shopify store to Express POD
- Allow you to publish products directly to Shopify
- Receive orders automatically
This will securely connect your Shopify store to Express POD.
Step 3 - Connect Your ETSY Store
If you sell on Etsy, simply follow the instructions in the video below to connect your Etsy account to Express POD.
You will need to be logged into your Etsy account during the connection process.
- Connect your Etsy store to Express POD
- Import Etsy orders into your dashboard
- Manage personalisation from one central location
- Approve Etsy orders before production
Step 5 - Create Your First Product In Under 2 Minutes
The quickest way to learn the system is to create a product alongside us.
Download the sample design and follow the video as we show you how to upload it, add personalisation fields and publish your first product to Shopify or Etsy.
