Yes, Webflow does have the capability to integrate both Printful products and self-fulfilled products in the same cart and provide a unified checkout experience. This allows you to offer a diverse range of products to your customers without any limitations or complications. Here's how you can achieve this:
- Set up your product catalogs:
- For Printful products, you'll need to create an account with Printful and set up your product catalog within their platform.
- For self-fulfilled products, you can create your product catalog directly within the Webflow CMS.
- Integrate Printful with Webflow:
- To integrate Printful with Webflow, you can use the Webflow Embed element to embed the Printful product options directly into your Webflow product page.
- You'll need to generate the necessary code from Printful’s product push generator and paste it into the Webflow Embed element for each corresponding product.
- Configure the Add to Cart button:
- Customize the Add to Cart button on your Webflow product page to handle both Printful and self-fulfilled products.
- For self-fulfilled products, you can use Webflow's built-in e-commerce functionality to add the product to the cart.

- For Printful products, Printful will handle the order fulfillment process on your behalf. You can track the status of Printful orders directly within your Printful account.
It's important to note that while Webflow can support the integration of both Printful and self-fulfilled products, you may need to invest some time in custom development to achieve a fully cohesive and branded checkout experience.
