The past month brings three new integrations, a handful of improvements to the Order Desk app itself, and a solid round of updates across sales channels, fulfillment services, and print on demand. Here’s everything that’s new.
New Integrations
ShippingEasy
If you use ShippingEasy to manage your shipping, you can now connect it directly to Order Desk. Your orders can automatically be sent for fulfillment, and as those orders ship out, tracking details will be pulled back into Order Desk and forwarded to your sales channels.
You can also use ShippingEasy-specific rule events and actions to control when orders are sent, what happens before or after submission, and how failed submissions should be handled. You can learn more about the integration here.
FastEditor
We’ve added a new FastEditor integration for stores that use FastEditor to create visual proofs and production ready files.
Order Desk can now request designs from FastEditor, add the returned print files to your order items, and pass those files along to your print on demand provider if your store is set up for that workflow. This is useful when you want artwork creation, proofing, and order fulfillment to stay connected without extra manual steps.
You’ll find this guide handy if you’re looking to get started with the integration.
Wayfair MCF
If you already have access to Wayfair’s fulfillment network, you can now send your route your orders there for fulfillment through Order Desk and have shipment automatically synced back to your carts as orders get fulfilled.
The integration also supports order level details that give you more control over what gets sent with each order. You can read more about the integration here.
