Custom Details for SPOD
Overview
Order Desk can import orders from your shopping cart(s) and automatically send them on to SPOD (Spreadshirt) for fulfillment. When orders are shipped, the tracking details will be sent back to Order Desk automatically.
This guide explains how to set up and use the SPOD integration.
Setup
To connect to SPOD, click on the Manage Integrations link under the Integrations menu in the left sidebar, and under the Print on Demand tab find and enable SPOD.
Alternatively, search for SPOD from the available integration search:
Enter your API Key from SPOD and click to connect.
Please note that Order Desk isn’t able to help find or reset your credentials, you can refer to your SPOD account or contact SPOD for additional support.
Integration Settings
Once connected, you'll have some shipment and integration settings to adjust per your preferences.
Default Mail Class
Choose the mail class you want SPOD to use for orders.
If you need to apply specific methods for certain orders, match your method names to their names in the Shipping Class Match section below.
After Import, Move To
Select the folder you want orders to be moved into after they are successfully sent to SPOD.
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 SPOD 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 SPOD.
Find SKU with Product ID, Size and Color
Select this option for Order Desk to find the SKU in SPOD based on the Product ID, Size and Color information of the item. If the SKU isn't found, then the print_sku and the item's code will be used to find it instead.
Automatically Send Imported Orders to SPOD Fulfillment
If you want to send all orders to SPOD, select this option.
If you would prefer to only send certain orders to SPOD, keep this option disabled. Instead, use the Rule Builder to tell Order Desk which orders to send.
Send Customer Email Address to SPOD Fulfillment
Select if you want the customer email address sent to SPOD with each order.
Product Settings
For more information on what these product settings within the SPOD 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 SPOD uses, they won't know what methods you intend for them to use. When this happens, the default mail class applied above will be used instead for all of your orders.
To tell SPOD 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.
Custom Details for SPOD
If you would like to send custom data about the order items to SPOD, you can set the following in as an item metadata or variation field:
Field Name | Field Description |
print_sku | Optional. If print_sku is not on the item, the item's code/SKU will be sent to SPOD. |
reference | This is sent into the externalOrderItemReference field in SPOD. |
