# Bender Group Integration

Order Desk can send orders directly to [Bender](https://www.bendergroup.com/) for fulfillment, then send shipment details back into the original orders.

### Setup

To enable the integration, click on the Manage Integrations link in the Integrations menu in the left sidebar. Under the **Fulfillment** tab, find and enable Bender.

Alternatively, search for Bender from the available integration search.

#### Webhook Setup

Please note that Order Desk isn’t able to help find or reset your credentials, as they can only be provided by Bender.

#### Default Shipping Method

Choose the *default* shipping method you want to use for your orders. This shipping method will be used for any orders sent to Bender that aren’t mapped to one of the mail classes they use.

To set up more than one shipping method, scroll down to the [Shipping Class Match](#shipping-class-match) section for instructions.

#### After Import, Move To

Select the folder orders should be moved to after they are sent to Bender from Order Desk. Typically this is set to Prepared, but any custom folder can be used.

#### After Shipment, Move To

Select the folder orders should be moved to when Bender sends tracking details back to Order Desk. Typically this is set to Closed, but any custom folder can be used.

#### Status Webhook URL

Use this URL at Bender to ensure that shipping status can be passed back to Order Desk. This is the same URL that can be found on the initial Bender connection page in Order Desk.

#### Product Settings

Use the shipping class match feature to match as many different shipping methods as you offer to the specific shipping classes that Bender uses to ensure your customers are getting the closest shipping option to what they selected at checkout.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.orderdesk.com/integration-setup-guides/fulfillment-services/bender-group-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
