# August 2021

July has been an exciting month here at Order Desk, because we’ve added a [new team member](/content/about/#team/index.html). Please welcome our new Business Development Coordinator, Katekani Nyamandi!

And as we continue to expand our team, we also wanted to take a moment to extend our gratitude to all of you, our customers. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you, and it’s been a pleasure to watch your businesses grow alongside us.

All that lovey-dovey appreciation aside, keep reading to check out what Order Desk has added this month.

# Integration Features & Updates

## Shopping Carts

Additional integration settings available for:

- Revcascade: Use **First Import Date** setting to select the first import date for your orders. Orders before this date will not be imported. Date format (YYYY-MM-DD) and variable date format (e.g. -2weeks) are both acceptable. Orders before this date will not be imported. Details [here](https://help.orderdesk.com/article/739-revcascade-integration#settings).

## Print on Demand

Additional **order level options** that can be set as checkout data or order metadata for:

- Alexander’s Print Advantage: Use **shipMethod** for undocumented shipping methods if Alexander’s has instructed you to do so. Details [here](https://help.orderdesk.com/article/665-alexander-s-print-advantage-integration#custom-order-details).

Additional **item level options** that can be set as variations or item metadata for:

- CustomShirtPrints.com: Use **pack_in** to have CustomShirtPrints to include an add-on item in the order. Details [here](https://help.orderdesk.com/article/457-customshirtprints-com-integration#custom-item-details).
- Hoplix: Now supports on-demand campaign creation. Just use **print_url_1** for front image, **print_url_2** for back image, **print_sku** for the product code (the item’s code will be used as backup). Details [here](https://help.orderdesk.com/article/747-hoplix-integration#custom-details-for-hoplix).
- Printverse: Up to 2 URLs accepted for multi-print items, formatted as **print_url_1** and **print_url_2**. Details [here](https://help.orderdesk.com/article/273-printverse#submit).
- Picanova: If you have already set up your products at Picanova, you can set the Picanova SKUs as **print_design_id** or just use the product code for the Picanova SKU. This should take the place of the **print_url** and **print_sku**. Details [here](https://help.orderdesk.com/article/713-picanova-integration#submit).

## Shipping

IOSS updates have been added to some shipping integrations:

- EasyPost: Your IOSS number can be set on the EasyPost settings page in the Importer Tax Code field. Order Desk will first use the IOSS Number on the order (ioss field or tax_id). If there is no IOSS Number on the order Order Desk will use the EasyPost Importer Tax Code field if it present. If neither of those are options, the information in the store settings will be the default. Details [here](https://help.orderdesk.com/article/74-easypost-integration#custom).
- ShipHero: Order Desk can pass IOSS or tax_id at the order level and will use store-level IOSS value as the backup. Order Desk can also pass tax_type value of IOSS, VAT, or EORI, with IOSS being the default. Details [here](https://help.orderdesk.com/article/583-shiphero-order-export-integration#order-level-details).
