Setup

How to connect Etsy and teelaunch

Most of the work is a one-time setup. After that, orders move on their own.

  1. Create your Order Desk store

    Start a free 30-day trial with full access to every feature and integration.

  2. Connect Etsy

    In Manage Integrations, enable Etsy under Shopping Carts, click Connect to Etsy and allow access. Choose which orders to download and turn on Sync Tracking Numbers.

  3. Connect teelaunch

    Enable teelaunch under Print on Demand and enter your teelaunch API key. Then add the webhook URL from your Order Desk settings to your teelaunch Developer Settings so tracking comes back automatically.

  4. Add print details and automate

    Save each product’s teelaunch ID as print_sku and its artwork as print_url_1 on its inventory item, or use its VariantID if the product is already set up in teelaunch. Turn on Add Inventory Details to Order Items and create a rule that submits orders to teelaunch when they’re imported.

    Tip: give every Etsy variation its own SKU so the right artwork goes on every size and color.

In contrast to other apps that offer a fixed set of features or require a developer for customizations, Order Desk has an intuitive rule builder that allows you to create custom workflows to meet specific needs.

FAQ

Etsy + teelaunch questions

Can Etsy orders be sent to teelaunch automatically?

Yes. Order Desk downloads your Etsy orders on the schedule you choose, adds the teelaunch print details saved on your products, and a rule triggered by “Order is Imported” submits them to teelaunch.

Does the Etsy connection work for every shop?

Not always. Under a recent Etsy policy change, third-party apps like Order Desk can no longer access full shipping addresses or send tracking updates for shops in certain regions, and Etsy updates that list from time to time. If your shop is affected, some users route Etsy orders through ShipStation and bring them into Order Desk with the ShipStation Order Import integration.

What does teelaunch need for each item?

The teelaunch ID for the blank product (print_sku) and a link to your artwork (print_url_1). You can send up to five artwork files, each with its own print location. If the product is already set up in teelaunch, its Variant ID can replace those fields.

Does tracking go back to Etsy?

Yes. teelaunch sends shipment details to Order Desk through the webhook URL in your teelaunch Developer Settings. With Sync Tracking Numbers turned on, Order Desk sends the tracking to Etsy, which emails your customer. If an order has more than one tracking number, only the first is sent to Etsy.

Do my Etsy listings need SKUs?

It’s strongly recommended. Give each variation its own SKU in Etsy so Order Desk can apply the right teelaunch product and artwork to every size and color.

How much does it cost?

Every Order Desk plan includes all integrations, and pricing is published on our pricing page. New stores get a 30-day free trial with full access.
