Printify for AI agents

Printify is a print-on-demand platform for managing shops, products, orders, and catalog data across print providers. Ecommerce sellers use it to launch custom merchandise without holding inventory. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

  1. 01Your users connect PrintifyThey add their Printify api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Draft Product” can wait for the user, and “delete Product” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Printify through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('printify', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_product
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_product
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Printify connects.

Users add their Printify api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Printify connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Printify and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Printify with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Printify to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Printify actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Printify?

Users add their Printify api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Printify actions can my agent take?

25 in total: 14 read, 7 write and 4 destructive, such as “create Draft Product”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Printify?

Yes. Actions like “delete Product” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Printify too?

Yes. The same Printify connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
