For more information on what the product settings within the Print Clever Global integration do, please read the Print on Demand Product Settings guide.
Shipping Class Match
If the shipping methods you set up in your shopping cart(s) don’t match the shipping method names Print Clever Global uses, they won’t know what methods you intend for them to use. When this happens, the default mail class applied above will be used instead for all of your orders.
To tell Print Clever Global 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 guide.
Sending Orders to Print Clever Global
Preparing Your Items
You can send your items for printing at Print Clever Global in one of two ways:
1. Pre-saved Items

Find your product on the next page and copy the Reference URL:
Set that URL as a VariantID metadata or variation on your order item in Order Desk. This tells Print Clever Global which item to print and ship.
