Monster Digital 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 Monster Digital (also known as TSC Miami). As Monster Digital fulfills the orders, the shipment details will be pulled back into Order Desk and sent back to the original shopping cart if your store is set up for it.

Mode

Default Shipping Class
Select your preferred shipping class. The shipping method selected will be used for all orders sent to Monster Digital unless, where different, the shipping method on the order matches Monster Digital's method name exactly.
If you need Monster Digital 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
The folder set here is where orders will move after they are successfully sent to Monster Digital.
You can choose the default Prepared folder for this, or create your own folders in your Store Settings. Read the Working with Folders guide for more information.

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 Monster Digital 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.

Inventory Management
Sync Inventory
If you would like Monster Digital to send inventory reports to Order Desk, enable this setting. If enabled, your stock counts will be pulled into Order Desk on the interval selected in the next setting.
Because Monster Digital is a print on demand integration, the inventory updates will be based on the manufacturer SKU rather than your own item SKUs. When Monster Digital is enabled on your Order Desk store, you will see this Manufacturer SKU field on your inventory items, where you can set the Monster Digital SKU (the print_sku):
Currently this field is only used for inventory syncing purposes. Please continue to use the Code/SKU field for your own unique item SKUs, and set the print_sku as a custom item metadata or variation field to submit your orders to Monster Digital.
Sync Interval
If Sync Inventory is enabled, select the interval you would like Order Desk to pull in inventory updates from Monster Digital.
Product Settings
For more information on what the product settings within the Monster Digital 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 Monster Digital 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 Monster Digital 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.
