As Acrylic Idea Factory fulfills your orders, the shipment info will automatically be pulled back into your orders here in Order Desk and sent back to the original shopping cart, if your store is set up for that. This guide will explain how to set up the Acrylic Idea Factory integration and will provide an overview of the different settings within this integration. ### Setup To connect to Acrylic Idea Factory, click on **Manage Integrations** in the left sidebar. Under the **Print on Demand** tab, find and click to enable the Acrylic Idea Factory integration. ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2FqRydIpxzuVP3B2fhLCYv%2Flegacy-05f3b7d357b9b0ee4cf1.png?alt=media) Alternatively, search for Acrylic Idea Factory from the available integration search: ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2F90PHzT62lvbylSVu7viP%2Flegacy-2a042f6e52f4db69043f.png?alt=media) On the Acrylic Idea Factory setup page, select your Environment and enter the API Token provided to you by Acrylic Idea Factory. ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2FvMAQWYqfvAz22AbURcPJ%2Flegacy-aa44507c5f8ca04c2471.png?alt=media) Please note that Order Desk isn’t able to help find or reset your credentials, as they can only be provided by Acrylic Idea Factory. ### Integration Settings ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2Ft5oMd26VrP5Y9D3dzQgV%2Flegacy-348f3c870efd03e2ee83.png?alt=media) Once connected, you will have a few settings where you can set your preferences for this integration. #### Default Shipping Method Select the default shipping method you want Acrylic Idea Factory to use for your orders. The shipping method chosen will be used for all orders where the method on the order does not match any of Acrylic Idea Factory’s shipping method names. If you need to apply specific methods for certain orders, match your method names to Acrylic Idea Factory’s names in the [Shipping Class Match section](#shipping-class-match) below. #### After Shipment, Move To Select the folder you want orders to be moved into when Acrylic Idea Factory sends shipment details back into Order Desk. #### If Canceled, Move To Select the folder you want orders to be moved into if they are cancelled at Acrylic Idea Factory. #### Shipping Account Number Enter the shipping account number you want Acrylic Idea Factory to use for your shipments. #### Product Settings ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2F4YNzcFUIHv7fQJ7zLryK%2Flegacy-ca5a6e4fb7b9a058feea.png?alt=media) For more information on what the product settings within the Acrylic Idea Factory integration do, please read the [Print on Demand Product Settings](/guided-walkthroughs/print-on-demand-walkthrough/print-on-demand-integration-product-settings.md) guide. #### Shipping Class Match ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2Fo0f9FR9qLKacxkM9NpV5%2Flegacy-1a01830ac206a1235f9b.png?alt=media) The shipping methods that you have set up in your shopping cart(s) may not match the methods that Acrylic Idea Factory uses. To make sure your shipping preferences are sent through to Acrylic Idea Factory with each order, match your methods to theirs in the shipping class match feature. If matches aren’t made, Acrylic Idea Factory will use your [default preference](#integration-settings) set above. To learn in more detail about how to set up your shipping class matches, see the [shipping class match](/guided-walkthroughs/shipping-fulfillment-and-returns/how-to-set-up-shipping-class-matches.md) guide. ### Sending Orders to Acrylic Idea Factory Getting your orders ready to send to Acrylic Idea Factory will take some set up time.
