If you need to apply specific methods for certain orders, match your method names to their names in the [Shipping Class Match section](#shipping-class-match) below. #### After Import, Move To Select the folder you want orders to be moved into after they are sent to Vantage Apparel. If you want to use a custom folder, create your own from Store Settings. See 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 Vantage Apparel sends shipment details back into Order Desk. #### Default Unit of Measure Default unit of measure for order items. #### Inventory Management Settings ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2FDDukMev3KgJLsX3gXDoM%2Flegacy-8f4c8cd3aff6498a20f1.png?alt=media) #### Sync Inventory Enable if you want Order Desk to regularly fetch your stock counts from Vantage Apparel. #### Sync Update Interval Choose how often you want Order Desk to pull stock updates from Vantage Apparel. **💡 NOTE**: Vantage doesn’t offer an option to get inventory updates in bulk, so Order Desk pulls stock updates by looking up each product individually. This can make the sync process relatively slow. Also, Vantage only returns the Vantage part IDs of the items and their stock counts. We have no access to the item names, prices, or other additional details. #### Match Inventory By Choose how we should match your Vantage part IDs to the right items in Order Desk for stock to update properly. There are three options, depending on how your items are set up beforehand: #### Code This is the default option. The Vantage part ID will be matched directly to the **Item Code** field in your Order Desk inventory. Use this if your item codes are already set to match the Vantage Part IDs. #### Manufacturer SKU The Vantage part ID will be matched to the **Manufacturer SKU** field on your inventory items. Use this if you’re storing the Vantage Part IDs as Manufacturer SKUs instead of item codes. #### Item Metadata The Vantage part ID will be matched to a custom metadata field called `vantage_part_id`. Use this if you’re not using the Vantage Part ID as your item code or Manufacturer SKU. Make sure to store your part IDs in this metadata field beforehand and we’ll use it to sync inventory updates. Once the sync runs, Order Desk will try to match each incoming part ID to an existing inventory item based on your selected option. If no match is found, a new item will be created. #### Third Party Shipping Account ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2FIXKIxfOKyw9rOsWi93cq%2Flegacy-d5a5cd7fe6aa63bc7b5c.png?alt=media) If you’d like to use a third party shipping account, you can enter in those details here. You can also override them per order by setting an order level field. See the section below on [Sending Orders to Vantage Apparel](#sending-orders-to-vantage-apparel) for more details. #### Product Settings ![](https://251457507-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQOLMUJWMYtrpQ7Oxxca%2Fuploads%2FJMtOAxdttblD7S2ah5pb%2Flegacy-d1fae76bf98b35ca6086.png?alt=media) For more information on what the product settings within the Vantage Apparel 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%2F2PCFxosWAtTtMgtPbdqP%2Flegacy-6318422763513795cdbf.png?alt=media) If the shipping methods you set up in your shopping cart(s) don’t match the shipping method names Vantage Apparel uses, they won’t know what methods you intend for them to use. When this happens, the [default mail class applied above](#integration-settings) will be used instead for all of your orders. To tell Vantage Apparel what methods you want them to use, you will need to match your method names to theirs. This can be done in the shipping class match section. For detailed instructions on setting this up, please read through the [shipping class match](/guided-walkthroughs/shipping-fulfillment-and-returns/how-to-set-up-shipping-class-matches.md) guide. ### Sending Orders to Vantage Apparel Getting your orders ready to send to Vantage Apparel will take some set up time.
