Mail Classes

Domestic Mail Class | International Mail Class

If you need Catalyst Fabric Solutions to use a specific shipping method on and order by order basis rather than defaulting to the settings here, set your preferences in the Shipping Class Match section.

After Import, Move To

You can use one of the default folders already in your store or create your own. Read the Working with Folders guide for more information.

After Shipment, Move To

Select the folder you want orders to be moved into as Catalyst Fabric Solutions sends shipment details back to Order Desk.

Allow Alternate PO Number Order ID

Product Settings

For more information on what the product settings within the Catalyst Fabric Solutions 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 Catalyst Fabric Solutions uses, they won't know what methods you intend for them to use. When this happens, the default mail classes applied above will be used instead for all of your orders.

To tell Catalyst Fabric Solutions 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.
