Manual and CSV orders
Start with structured order files before building a deeper connection.
Not every seller needs an integration on day one. Manual orders and CSV files can help you test products, send samples, handle special orders, or prepare a repeatable workflow before custom development.
Best fit
Use CSV Orders when this is how you sell.
Setup review
Know what the seller sends and what PODJST checks.
Channel pages should reduce setup confusion. This page separates seller-owned information from the fulfillment review PODJST can help with.
You prepare
- Recipient address
- Product and SKU
- Artwork file
- Quantity, options, and shipping choice
PODJST reviews
- Required fields
- Artwork and variant clarity
- Packing notes
- Production and shipping route
Order workflow
From channel setup to reviewed fulfillment.
The goal is not to force every seller into the same app flow. The goal is to make product, order, production, packing, and tracking details clear before customers are waiting.
- 01
Choose a simple format
Use a reviewed manual order or CSV format with only the fields needed for production and shipping.
- 02
Attach product details
Include SKU, variant, artwork, quantity, personalization, package notes, and destination information.
- 03
Review before release
Check the first sample or small batch so errors can be fixed before a repeating workflow is used.
- 04
Scale when ready
Move from manual files into a more structured store or custom workflow when order volume becomes stable.

What information should I prepare?+
Prepare product SKUs, variants, artwork rules, personalization fields, sample order data, destination markets, packaging notes, and any tracking or status requirements your channel needs.
