Stakes MFG Integration

Order Desk can pull your print on demand orders in from your shopping cart(s), sync your print details into them, and then submit them to Stakes MFG. As Stakes MFG fulfills the orders, the shipment details will be sent back to Order Desk and on to the original shopping cart if your store is set up for it.
