Integration Settings
Once connected, you'll have a few settings to adjust in the Tshirt & Sons integration.
Default Mail Class
Select your preferred mail class. The shipping method selected will be used for all orders sent to Tshirt & Sons unless, where different, the shipping method on the order matches Tshirt & Sons' method name exactly.
If you need Tshirt & Sons to use a specific shipping method on an order by order basis rather than defaulting to the settings here, set your preferences in the Shipping Class Match section.
After Import, Move To
Select the folder you want orders to be moved into after they are successfully sent to Tshirt & Sons.
You can use one of the default folders already in your store or create your own. Read the Working with Folders guide for more information.
After Shipment, Move To
Select the folder you want orders to be moved into as Tshirt & Sons sends back shipment details.
Default Offsets
Set your default print_xoffset_x
and print_yoffset_x
here.
To override these settings, do so on the individual items following the notes about custom details below.
Shipment Return Address
Set your default return address for Tshirt & Sons to use on your order shipments. This return address will be printed on all packages shipped within Great Britain. If the order does not have a phone number on it, the phone number here will be used.
If you need to customize the return address for certain orders, you can save different return addresses to your Store Settings and use a rule to set the return address on specific orders. If a return address is not added to the order, the default address set here in the Tshirt & Sons settings will be used.
For information on adding additional return addresses and applying them to specific orders with a rule, read the Store Settings guide.
Screen Printing
If you are using Tshirt & Sons for screen printing, enter your screen printing API.

For more information on what the product settings within the Tshirt & Sons integration do, please read the Print on Demand Product Settings guide.
Shipping Class Match
If the shipping methods you set up in your shopping cart(s) don't match the shipping method names Tshirt & Sons uses, they won't know what methods you intend for them to use. When this happens, the default mail classes applied above will be used instead for all of your orders.
To tell Tshirt & Sons what methods you want them to use, you will need to match your method names to theirs. This can be done in the shipping class match section. For detailed instructions on setting this up, please read through the shipping class match guide.
