# Gelato Integration

Order Desk can import orders from your shopping carts, sync your print details, and automatically send them to any printer using [Gelato](https://gelato.pxf.io/c/3419143/1445275/15091). When orders are shipped, the tracking details will automatically be sent back to Order Desk.

### Setup

To enable the integration, click **Manage Integrations** in the left sidebar. Under the **Print on Demand** tab, find and enable the Gelato integration.

Alternatively, search for Gelato using the available integration search.

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

### Integration Settings

Once connected, you’ll have some shipment and integration settings to adjust based on your preferences.

#### After Import, Move To

Select the folder you want orders to be moved into after they are successfully sent to Gelato.

You can use one of the default folders already in your store or create your own. Read the [Working with Folders](/start-here/getting-started-series/quick-start-overview.md#working-with-folders) guide for more information.

#### After Shipment, Move To

Select the folder you want orders to be moved into when Gelato sends tracking details back.

#### Default Mail Class

Choose the shipping class you want Gelato to use for your orders.

If you need to apply specific methods to certain orders, match your method names to the names Gelato uses in the [Shipping Class Match](#shipping-class-match) section below.

#### Webhook URL

You’ll need to set this webhook URL in your Gelato account so Order Desk can download your shipment notifications.

#### Automatically Approve Submitted Orders

Select this option to have Gelato automatically approve orders, or leave it unselected to have Gelato hold orders for manual approval.

This can be changed on a per-order basis using **OrderType**, as explained [below](#sending-orders-to-gelato).

#### Order Information Settings

## 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/print-on-demand/gelato-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.
