Promoting Products
How products appear on CafePress
When you upload your designs, you are asked to describe your images with a title and tags. These words become the search-terms that CafePress uses to show your designs when customers search CafePress for product.
New designs can take up to 48 hours to appear in CafePress site search, and tagging an item will not guarantee high placement in search results.
Removing Designs from CafePress.com marketplace
To delete designs and products created with Design and List, visit the “My Designs” page in your account, and select the design. To delete the design and all its associated products, click the “Delete” button at the top of the page. To delete a single product, click the “Remove Products” button, select the products you wish to delete, and click the “Remove Selected Products” button.
If you created your products in a shop, individual products cannot be removed from the marketplace, but you can remove your entire shop from the marketplace.

Linking to Seller Shops
When you create a shop, you give it a name and a shop ID. A shop name is the proper name of the shop. A shop ID is a unique and appears in the URL when someone visits your shop. Since your ShopID is part of the URL for your shop, it must be unique. No two shopkeepers can have the same ShopID.
For example, your shop name could be “My Awesome Shop”, and your shopID could be “myawesomeshop” and the URL for your customers to directly visit your shop would be https://www.cafepress.com/myawesomeshop.
