# SKYOU Integration

Order Desk can import orders from your shopping cart(s), sync in your print details and then automatically send them on to [SKYOU](http://www.skyou.com/) for fulfillment. When orders are shipped, the tracking details will be sent back to Order Desk automatically.

### Setup

To connect to SKYOU, click on the **Manage Integrations** link under the **Integrations** menu in the left sidebar, and under the **Print on Demand** tab find and enable SKYOU.

Alternatively, search for SKYOU from the available integration search.

To find your SKYOU credentials, please contact your rep from SKYOU. **Order Desk support is not able to help with finding or resetting your** **SKYOU** **credentials**, as they are created and provided by SKYOU.

### Sending Orders to SKYOU

Getting your orders ready to send to SKYOU 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](/guided-walkthroughs/print-on-demand-walkthrough/print-on-demand-fulfillment.md) guide.

#### Preparing Your Orders

The following fields can be set as checkout data or order metadata to change what gets sent to SKYOU:

| Field Name  | Value                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| PackingSlip | URL for the PDF to be included as the packing slip with the order. Details [here](/guided-walkthroughs/templates-emails-and-order-documents/how-to-create-pdf-files-for-order-documents.md). |

If you are unfamiliar with checkout data, please first read the [How to Work with Checkout Data](/guided-walkthroughs/orders-and-folders/how-to-work-with-checkout-data.md) guide.

#### Preparing Your Items

For every product you plan to sell, you will need to set up a basic product on the SKYOU website and note the Product ID. This Product ID is what will be used to look up the size-based variants and request the proper apparel size.

The following fields can be set as variations or item metadata for each item in an order:

| Field Name                                       | Value                                                                                                                                                                                        |

| print\_sku                                       | The SKYOU Product ID.                                                                                                                                                                        |
| print\_variant\_id                               | If you have the direct Variant ID, enter it here. The print\_sku will still need to be included for the order to properly submit, but in this event, it can be set to X or something simple. |
| print\_url\_1 *or* print\_url                    | URL of the artwork file.                                                                                                                                                                     |
| print\_preview\_1 *or* print\_preview *or* image | URL of the artwork preview.                                                                                                                                                                  |
| background\_color                                | Hex value for the background color on the shirt. Should have a preceding #.                                                                                                                  |

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/print-on-demand/skyou-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.
