Printeers Integration

Order Desk can import orders from your shopping cart(s), sync in your print details and then automatically send them on to Printeers (formerly known as Invition) 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.

Setup

To connect to Printeers, click on the Manage Integrations link under the Integrations menu in the left sidebar, and under the Print on Demand tab find and enable Printeers.

Alternatively, search for Printeers from the available integration search.

Enter your API credentials from Printeers, then click Connect to Printeers proceed.

To find your Printeers credentials, please contact your rep from Printeers. Order Desk support is not able to help with finding or resetting your Printeers credentials, as they are created and provided by Printeers.

Integration Settings

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

Default Order Email and Default Order Phone

Printeers requires that all orders have an email and phone number associated with them. Use these fields to set a default order email and phone number for orders that don't have one when they are placed or created.

Inventory Settings

Sync Inventory

Enable if you want Order Desk to sync your print on demand item inventory counts from Printeers. In order for the counts to sync properly, each of your inventory items that use the print on demand item must have the correct Manufacturer SKU in your Order Desk inventory, which is the same as the print_sku for your items:

When Order Desk syncs stock counts for your print on demand items from Printeers, those counts will be added to any inventory item in Order Desk with a matching Manufacturer SKU.

Sync Update Interval

If Sync Inventory is enabled, inventory updates will be sent to Printeers at your chosen interval. Available options are Every 15 minutes, Every Hour, Every Two Hours, Every Four Hours, Every Six Hours, Every Eight Hours, Every Twelve Hours, and Every Day.

Max Inventory Level

Use to set a maximum inventory level you'd like for your items in Order Desk. If your inventory count for an item exceeds this amount, it will remain at the maximum level set here. Default is 100.
