When orders are shipped, the tracking details will be sent back to Order Desk automatically. ### Setup To connect to Pressing, click on the **Manage Integrations** link in the left sidebar. Under the **Print on Demand** tab find and enable Pressing. ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2FzAY6DshDaC2fQZb0oZL7%2Flegacy-7669f7349b96a27e239c.png?alt=media) Alternatively, search for Pressing from the available integration search. ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2F248HV5I8v4R56G1y6VbE%2Flegacy-180c965e4878551f3fab.jpg?alt=media) Select your print provider and enter your Pressing account credentials then connect. Please note that Order Desk isn’t able to help find or reset your credentials, as they can only be shared by Pressing. ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2FoiIEA1FWWkmWEfFtcCfU%2Flegacy-043923a3136dad0a08d8.jpg?alt=media) If your provider is not listed, please contact Order Desk support with your destination provider key and your printer’s logo. These will be added for selection after which point you will be able to connect to your provider. ### Integration Settings ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2Fr8SuZEOfmgEBdSNwzgvU%2Flegacy-eb4669bf4fb5c1ce61d7.png?alt=media) Once you have successfully connected to the Pressing integration, you will have some settings to go through to add your preferences. #### After Import, Move To Select the folder you want orders to be moved into after they are successfully sent to Pressing. 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 Pressing sends tracking details back. #### If Canceled, Move To Select the folder you want orders to be moved into if they are canceled at Pressing. #### Default Carrier Code Set the default carrier code you want your printer to use for your orders. This will be provided by your print provider. #### Default Carrier Service Set the default carrier service you want your printer to use for your orders. This will be provided by your print provider. #### Default Shipping Alias Set the default shipping alias you want your printer to use for your orders. This will be provided by your print provider. #### Optional Routing URL Order Desk sends orders to Pressing using a default routing URL. This can be changed to an optional routing URL that is set up within Pressing. If your Pressing provider gives you a routing URL, set it here to override the default URL, otherwise leave this field empty to use the default. #### Postback URL Give this URL to your Pressing provider. This is used to send shipment details back into your orders in Order Desk. #### Store Information Set your default return address to be used on your orders. If you need to customize the return address for certain orders, you can save different return addresses to your Store Settings and then use a rule to set the return address to specific orders. If a return address is not added to the order, the default address set here in the Pressing settings will be used. For information on adding additional return addresses and applying them to specific orders with a rule, read the [Store Settings](/guided-walkthroughs/using-order-desk/manage-store-settings.md#return-addresses) guide. #### Product Settings ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2FqxrgOkjoX1kaZW38vekS%2Flegacy-fcec23f1ea65d8314994.jpg?alt=media) For more information on what the product settings within the Pressing integration do, please read the [Print on Demand Product Settings](/guided-walkthroughs/print-on-demand-walkthrough/print-on-demand-integration-product-settings.md) guide. ### Custom Details for Pressing Sending orders to your printer through Pressing will initially take some preparation before it can happen automatically.
