About The Project

Medusa-Plugin-Printful is a plugin for the Medusa e-commerce platform that integrates with the Printful fulfillment service. This plugin simplifies the management of Printful products and orders through the Medusa dashboard, streamlining workflows and saving time.

What The Plugin Does

• Syncs product details between Printful and Medusa.
• Automatically updates product information based on Printful webhook events.
• Handles order fulfillment automatically via webhooks.

Note: As of now, the plugin supports events from Printful to Medusa but not the reverse, except for order cancelation. This feature is a work in progress and already under development on the refactor/services branch!
