SwiftPOD Integration
Order Desk can import orders from your shopping cart(s), sync in your print details and then automatically send them on to SwiftPOD 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.

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 SwiftPOD.
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.

Product Settings
For more information on what these product settings within the SwiftPOD 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 SwiftPOD 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 SwiftPOD 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 Order and Item Details
Getting your orders ready to send to SwiftPOD will take some set up time. For a detailed walkthrough of how to use Order Desk with your Print on Demand orders, please read through our Print on Demand Fulfillment guide.
