Q: How can I get a tracking number in advance?

Since some sellers set a short shipping time in their stores, they have to provide the tracking number timely to avoid a penalty from a platform like Etsy or Shopify.

To prevent sellers from the penalty of a shipping delay, we can provide the tracking number within 48 hours of the sellers placing the order. You can go to Dashboard -> Orders -> In Production -> Order Details to find the tracking number, copy and paste it into your store.

Q: Can I edit my design after I save it?

If you are not satisfied with your design after saving it, you can use this edit design feature to correct it instead of designing a new one from scratch.

Q: WooCommerce troubleshooting for 403 / 404 / 500/ 503 / 504 / 524 / thumbnail errors

一. 403 / 404 Errors

When you try to sync designs to your store but failed, the failure reason is shown below in the page “Store” -> “Synced designs”:

“HTTP request returned status code 403”

It occurs because your hosting provider prevents popcustoms.com from making requests to your store. To solve this problem, you should add our IP address 47.89.194.2 to the IP whitelist of Mod_Security or other security software. If you don’t know where to find the IP whitelist, please contact your hosting provider to ask for help.

for cloudflare users, you can follow the picture below.

Once IP added to whitelist, please click “Retry”. If the error still persists, please read on and contact us with the info mentioned below.

二. 500 / 503 / 504 / 524 Errors

If you sync designs to your WooCommerce store but fail, there comes up an error and state “There Has Been a Critical Error on Your Website” or other 5xx errors.

To solve this problem, please go to your WordPress Dashboard>WooCommerce>Status>System status>Get system report>Copy for support to copy the information and provide it to us.

And then go to WooCommerce>Status>Logs to view and find the latest fatal-errors-2023-xx-xx log, copy and provide it to us.

三. Class-wp-image-editor/ Fatal Error

When this type of error comes out, it means there’s an error in generating product thumbnails. Because of the execution time limit of your system, the product thumbnails can not be generated within the time limit. Under this condition, there are three solutions,

Solution 1: Disable some thumbnail sizes with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-generate-thumbnails/ it will help speed up the generation.

Solution 2: Extend the execution time limit of your system. Try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-maximum-upload-file-size/ and it may help extend the time limit to 600 seconds.

Solution 3: Use Publish feature instead of Sync feature to sync products to your WooCommerce store so that you can just select 2-3 mockups to save the generation time.

四. “Out of Stock” & No Variations Error

This error happens because we provide too many mock-up pictures, WooCommerce can’t handle all of them. Under this condition, please follow the steps below to solve it.

① Head to the Dashboard -> Stores at POPCUSTOMS to find your connected WooCommerce store, click the Synced designs to find the product that failed to show correctly in your storefront, and delete it.

② Log into your WooCommerce to delete this product from your store as well, please go to the Trash to permanently delete it.

③ Go to POPCUSTOMS to publish this product to your WooCommerce store again, please don’t forget to delete some mock-ups in the final step so that the sync can be successful. Use the Publish button instead of Sync to stores button to sync products, and we don’t suggest you sync them in bulk.

To avoid this issue, please kindly always use our Publish button to sync products to your WooCommerce store. At the same time, we suggest you only choose 3 or fewer mock-ups in the final steps during publishing.

Thanks.

Q: How to deal with Your Etsy personalization order in POPCUSTOMS?

This video will guide you through how to process an order received from your Etsy store and submit it to POPCUSTOMS for production.

On Etsy, you can help your customer personalize items by turning on Personalization from the listing page.

Now, let’s log in, click “Dashboard” – “Orders” – and “On hold”, you can see all the new orders you have received.

This is a personalization order and the customer would like to add the text “test” to the designed purse. 

Let’s click “Detail” to see all the information about this order. 

Then, click “Redesign” to modify it. If your customer wants to not only add text like a name, but also sent you a picture, you can unload here to make changes. 

Click “Update” when you are satisfied with the new mockup. 

Click “Confirm” if the attributes are correct. 

Click “Modify address”, here you can choose the shipping method.   

Click “Confirm” – “Back” to submit the order.  

You will find the submitted order in the “Unpaid”, click “Pay Order” to choose payment methods from Paypal, Stripe and Wallet. 

That’s it! This order will be submitted to POPCUSTOMS production system. Once shipped, you will be able to copy the tracking number on “Orders”. The tracking number will be synced to your Etsy store as well.
