Sell magnets on Etsy without re-laying out every order in Canva.

The Etsy magnet market

Why magnets are one of the cleanest Etsy print-on-demand niches.

Etsy buyers want personalized, giftable, and shippable. Photo and puzzle magnets check all three boxes — and unlike apparel or wall art, you don\'t need a third-party fulfillment partner to scale. You can run the whole shop from a folding table and a $400 printer.

Today's workflow

What an Etsy magnet seller's day looks like with Vixie.

The Etsy integration is coming. Until then, this is the workflow that takes a typical Etsy magnet seller from a stack of orders to a stack of shipped packages in about an hour a day.

1. 1

   Morning: pull the day's orders from Etsy

   Open Etsy, download the customer photos from the personalization field on each order. Save them to a folder named with the order date.

2. 2

   Drop the photos into Print Studio

   Open studio.vixie.app — no signup, no upload to a server. Drag the photo folder onto the sheet. Print Studio packs flat photo magnets and puzzle grids onto your Letter, A4, or 13×19 sheet automatically, nesting orders to use as little stock as possible.

3. 3

   Adjust crops, add edge text, export PDF

   Click any magnet to crop or rotate. Add a date, name, or event caption around the magnet edge if the customer requested one in their order notes. Export print-ready PDF and send straight to your printer.

4. 4

   Press, cut, package, ship

   Run the sheet through your printer, peel and stick to magnetic stock, then cut along Vixie's guides. Package in a rigid mailer with a thank-you card and ship via Etsy's shipping label flow.

5. 5

   Update Etsy order status

   Mark each order shipped in Etsy with the tracking number. Done. The whole batch — 10–25 orders — typically takes 45–75 minutes once you have the rhythm.

The layout engine

Print Studio: free for every Etsy magnet seller, even without a Vixie account.

The Etsy magnet seller's most painful tax is laying out each order in Canva or Photoshop. Print Studio does the math for you — paper size, magnet bleed, mixed sizes, puzzle layouts. It\'s the same engine that runs every Vixie event, free in your browser, with nothing uploaded to our servers.

• Mixed-size sheets — squares, rectangles, and circles on the same page
• Puzzle grid presets — 2×3, 3×3, 3×4, 4×4 at 2.5×2.5" magnet size
• Edge text & captions for personalized orders
• Print-ready PDF at 300 DPI
• No watermark, no upload, no signup

The Etsy integration: zero-touch order processing.

Once the Etsy integration ships, the workflow above collapses to a single button. Etsy orders pull into Vixie automatically, customer photos populate the print queue, and the sheet auto-arranges across all the day\'s orders. Mark shipped in Vixie, and Etsy syncs.

• Etsy orders pull directly into Vixie
• Customer photos auto-attach to each order
• Daily sheet auto-arranges across all orders
• Mark shipped in Vixie, status syncs to Etsy
• Tracking numbers flow back automatically

Pricing on Etsy

Vixie defaults vs. Etsy-tuned pricing.

Vixie ships with default pricing tuned for in-person events and direct-to-customer ordering. On Etsy, where buyers are paying for convenience and gift framing, you can typically lift 20–40%.

USD. All prices built on Vixie's default 2.5×2.5" square magnet stock. Etsy fees (~6.5% transaction + payment processing) come out of the Etsy-tuned column.
