# Shift4Shop Integration
Order Desk can connect to your [Shift4Shop](https://www.shift4shop.com/) (previously 3dcart) account and automatically download orders.
### Setup
In Order Desk, click on **Manage Integrations** under the Integrations menu in the left sidebar. Under the **Shopping Carts** tab, find and enable Shift4Shop.
Alternatively, search for Shift4Shop from the available integration search.
Enter your Shift4Shop shop URL and follow the login to Shift4Shop to give access to Order Desk.
### Integration Settings
#### Check for New Orders
Select how often you want Order Desk to download orders from Shift4Shop.
#### Folder for New Orders
Select the folder where newly imported orders from Shift4Shop should be placed.
For more information, see the [Working with Folders](/start-here/getting-started-series/quick-start-overview.md#working-with-folders) guide.
#### Order Status
Select the status of the orders to be imported.
#### Manufacturer Filter
If you want to ***ignore*** orders from certain manufacturers, use the **Manufacturer Filter** field to list them. Enter multiple manufacturer names separated by commas. The names must match exactly as they appear in Shift4Shop.
Any orders containing items from the listed manufacturers will be skipped. If an order has items from multiple manufacturers, only the items from the listed manufacturers will be ignored. The rest will still be imported into Order Desk.
#### Sync Tracking Numbers
If the Sync Tracking Numbers setting is enabled, Order Desk will send the shipment information back to Shift4Shop automatically and update the orders there.
#### Sync Inventory
If you want Order Desk to sync your inventory availability back to Shift4Shop, enable the **Sync Inventory** setting.
{% hint style="info" %}
If all your items in Shift4Shop are set up as base products, Order Desk can sync your inventory automatically once you enable the **Sync Inventory** setting above.
If you also need to sync stock for any advanced product options, Order Desk will need the identifiers for those items first: the `shift4shop_catalog_id` and `shift4shop_advanced_option_id`. To get those into Order Desk, use the [**Import Inventory Items Now**](#manually-import-inventory-items) option. This will pull in the identifiers so stock can sync correctly.
{% endhint %}
#### Order Number Format
Select which number should be used as the order ID in Order Desk. You can choose to use the Shift4Shop **Order ID**, the **Invoice Number**, or the **Invoice Number with Prefix**.
#### Download Manufacturer Info
Include manufacturer details from Shift4Shop. Note that enabling this setting may impact the speed of your order imports.
#### Manually Import Orders
You can manually import orders from Shift4Shop at any time. You can import recent orders in bulk, or import by a specific **Order ID** if you only need to import one order.
> **Tip: Advanced Download**
>
> If you want to import more orders from Shift4Shop, you can use the Advanced Download option to paginate through the list of recent orders available to import.
>

#### Manually Import Inventory Items
Click the **Import Inventory Items Now** button to pull your Shift4Shop products into Order Desk. If you have any advanced options set up in Shift4Shop, those will be imported as well along with their identifiers.

## 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/sales-channels/shift4shop-integration.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
