Fix unmatched orders and missing art
Two things can pause an order: Printonic does not recognize the item's SKU (it lands in External orders), or an item is missing a required print file (Send to Fulfillment stays disabled). Here is how to fix both.

What the files should look like, why some items stay plain, and how the library works.

Let Claude or ChatGPT prepare team orders for you
Connect an assistant to your team and ask it in plain words: show the collections, quote the welcome set for these new hires, file it for approval. The assistant never pays. Every order it files waits in your approvals tray until an owner or approver says yes, unless the owner sets a limit under which orders go through on their own.

Send a gift automatically for every new hire, birthday and work anniversary
Connect Gusto, Rippling or BambooHR (or import a spreadsheet of people), write a rule once, and Printonic creates a team order for the right person on the right day. Each recipient gets a link to enter their own address. Sends wait for an approver, or are paid from the team balance within the caps you set.

Get help with a team order
Where to click when something about a team order needs a person, what to have ready, what the assistant can answer on its own, and our promise: a person replies within one business day.

Send a gift to contacts from your CRM
Pick one HubSpot or Salesforce contact or several at once (or type a name and email), pick the gift, write a line, send. Each contact enters their own address through a private link, every gift is paid from the team balance within your monthly budget, and the activity is written back to each contact record when it is sent, addressed, shipped and delivered. Rules can send gifts on their own when a record is created or moves to a stage.
