Scalable Press Integration

Order Desk can import orders from your shopping cart(s), sync in your print details and then automatically send them on to Scalable Press for fulfillment. When orders are shipped, the tracking details will be sent back to Order Desk and back to your shopping cart if your store is set up for it.

Integration Settings

Once connected, you'll have some shipment and integration settings to adjust per your preferences.

Default Shipping Method

Choose the shipping method you want Scalable Press to use on any orders where the shipment method is not otherwise specified for them to use.

To set up more specific shipping options, you will need to match your method names to the names Scalable Press uses. This can be done 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 Scalable Press.

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 after Scalable Press sends shipment details back to Order Desk.

If Canceled, Move To

Select the folder you want orders to be moved into if they are canceled at Scalable Press.

Default Width

Set the default width, in inches, of your artwork. To set this on a product by product basis, do so following these instructions.

Default Height

Set the default height, in inches, of your artwork. To set this on a product by product basis, do so following these instructions.

Default Top Offset

Set the default top offset, in inches, for your artwork. To set this on a product by product basis, do so following these instructions.

API Webhook URL

To have shipment information automatically passed back into Order Desk as Scalable Press fulfills orders, copy this URL and paste it into your Scalable Press account settings page.

Setup Redirects

If you connect the same Scalable Press account to more than one Order Desk store, you will need to setup some redirects so when the shipment info comes back from Scalable Press, it will find its way to the right Order Desk store.

In your primary store, where the first connection to Scalable Press was made, you will see Setup Redirects. Click this link to open your Webhook Redirection List. Then, in your other Order Desk stores that are also connected to the same Scalable Press account, find the API Webhook URL:

Copy this URL and paste it into the  Setup Redirects field in your main store. Add one URL per line, making sure all notification URLs from your other Order Desk stores are included.

Default Return Address

Set the default return address that Scalable Press should use on your shipments.

If you need to customize the return address for certain orders, you can save different return addresses to your Store Settings and then use a rule to set the return address to specific orders. If a return address is not added to the order, the default address set here in the Scalable Press 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.

Product Settings

For more information on what these product settings within the Scalable Press integration are for, please refer to 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 Scalable Press uses, they won't know what methods you intend for them to use. When this happens, the default shipping method applied above will be used instead for all of your orders.

To tell Scalable Press 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.
