API planning
Document the order data before building a custom connection.
Open API and additional channel integrations are in development. PODJST can review your technical requirements, define required order fields, and identify an interim CSV or manual workflow where appropriate.
Best fit
Use Open API 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
- Required data fields
- Order volume estimate
- Status and webhook needs
- Exception and cancellation logic
PODJST reviews
- Data model
- Interim order intake
- Product mapping
- Fulfillment and tracking states
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
Define the data model
List required fields for products, variants, artwork, addresses, packages, shipping, tracking, and exceptions.
- 02
Choose an interim route
Use CSV or manual order handling during planning if a live API connection is not ready yet.
- 03
Review workflow states
Document how orders move from received to reviewed, produced, packed, shipped, and resolved if something changes.
- 04
Plan the build
Once requirements are clear, PODJST can discuss the integration scope and what needs technical development.

Channel FAQ
Questions before using Open API with PODJST.
Is the Open API fully self-serve today?+
No. Open API and additional integrations are in development. PODJST can review requirements and recommend an interim workflow while the technical path is clarified.
What should developers prepare?+
Prepare sample order payloads, required fields, product mapping rules, artwork file logic, status needs, webhook expectations, cancellation rules, and expected order volume.
Can CSV files be used before an API is ready?+
Yes. CSV can be a practical interim method and can also help define the fields a future API workflow should support.
Can I test a sample before sending live orders?+
Yes. Samples are recommended before launch or migration so you can review the product, print placement, packaging notes, and shipping presentation.
