Mpix Integration
Order Desk can import orders from your shopping cart(s), sync in your print details and then automatically send them on to Mpix (Miller's Professional Imaging) for fulfillment. When orders are shipped, the tracking details will be sent back to Order Desk automatically.

💡 TIP
Order Desk isn’t able to help find or help reset your API credentials, as they can only be provided by Mpix directly.
Integration Settings
Once connected, you will have a few settings where you can set your preferences for this integration.
Default Mail Class
Choose the shipping method you want Mpix to use for your orders by default. If you need to apply specific methods for certain orders, you can match your method names to the ones recognized by Mpix in the Shipping Class Match section below.
After Import, Move To
Select the folder you want orders to be moved into after they are sent to Mpix.
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 when Mpix sends shipment details back into Order Desk.
Product Settings
For more information on what the product settings within the Mpix 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 Mpix 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 Mpix 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.
Sending Orders to Mpix
Getting your orders ready to send to Mpix 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.
Preparing Your Orders
The following details can be submitted for an order as either checkout data or order metadata. If you are unfamiliar with checkout data, see the How to Work with Checkout Data guide.
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| PaymentType | Determines the type of payment used for the order. Defaults to net if not set. |
Preparing Your Items
Your item setup might take some time due to the number of page, group, and image configurations that can be included in each item. Below are the most commonly used item metadata fields.
PAGE INDICES
The indexes in this case start from 0, not 1. So for 4 pages, you’ll use pages_0_... through pages_3_..., and similarly for image groups and images. More information below.
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| PaperType | Set the paper type to be used for the item. |
| images_name | Name for the first set of images. |
| pages_0_name | Name for the first page. You can set up to 4 pages by incrementing the page number from 0 (e.g. pages_1_name, pages_2_name, etc.). |
| pages_0_imagegroups_0 | First image group on the first page. Up to 4 image groups can be set per page by incrementing the image group number. |
| pages_0_imagegroups_0_images_0_print_url | Link to the artwork file for the first image in the first group on the first page. You can increment the indexes to add more images. |
