Connecting Infigo to GelatoConnect

Updated yesterday

This guide explains the process of integrating Infigo—a leading B2B web-to-print e-commerce solution—with GelatoConnect to enable automated order flow from your Infigo storefront directly to your production workflow.

What is Infigo?

Infigo is a leading web-to-print e-commerce solution that allows print service providers to create customizable storefronts for their business customers. It's particularly well-suited for B2B print environments, helping printers manage customer orders efficiently through branded storefronts. Infigo provides features such as:

  • Custom product design and editing capabilities

  • Web-to-print functionality with advanced designer tools

  • Brand management and template control

  • Support for both static and variable data printing

  • Customer account management for B2B environments

Integration overview

The integration between Infigo and GelatoConnect enables:

  • Automatic order import from Infigo to GelatoConnect

  • Print file transfer and processing

  • Real-time order status updates

  • Tracking information synchronization back to Infigo

  • Shipping method integration

  • Centralized workflow management

Infigo is particularly valuable for printers moving from ad-hoc job-based orders to fully automated workflows.

Unlike other integrations, the Infigo integration is not currently self-serve and requires assistance from our support team to set up.

Prerequisites

Before requesting Infigo integration with GelatoConnect, ensure you have:

  • An active Infigo storefront

  • Administrator access to your Infigo account

  • API access enabled for your Infigo instance (you may need to confirm this with your Infigo account manager)

Required information for setup

To enable the Infigo integration, you'll need to provide our support team with the following information:

  1. Infigo Base URL: The domain of your Infigo storefront (e.g., https://yourcompany.infigo.net)

  2. Infigo API Token: The authentication token generated from your Infigo admin panel

  3. Customer Products Configuration:

    • Product types that should be routed to GelatoConnect for production (e.g., printable products marked as "normal" in Infigo)

    • Product mapping between Infigo SKUs and GelatoConnect products

    • Whether your products use variants and which variant attributes should be mapped

  4. Shipping Method Configuration:

    • Preferred shipping carriers and methods

    • Default shipping method if none is specified

  5. Order Type Information:

    • Which order types should be processed by GelatoConnect (e.g., printable products vs. stock items)

    • How non-printable products should be handled (if applicable)

Integration process

Once you've provided the required information, our support team will:

  1. Configure the integration workflows

  2. Set up order synchronization (runs every 15 minutes)

  3. Create postback triggers for order status updates

  4. Configure shipping method mapping

  5. Test the integration with sample orders

  6. Activate the integration in your production environment

How the integration works

The integration operates through several key workflows:

  1. Order Synchronization: An automated process checks for new orders in your Infigo store every 15 minutes

  2. Order Creation: When new orders are found, they are converted to GelatoConnect format and print files are downloaded

  3. Order Type Handling: The system identifies which items are printable products requiring GelatoConnect production and which might be stock items

  4. Order Processing: Printable product orders flow through your standard GelatoConnect production workflow

  5. Status Updates: As orders progress through production and shipping, status updates are sent back to Infigo

  6. Shipping Integration: Shipping methods from GelatoConnect are made available in your Infigo checkout

  7. Tracking Updates: Shipping tracking information is automatically pushed back to Infigo when orders ship

The integration maintains clear tagging of orders by their originating store, allowing you to trace orders throughout the GelatoConnect interface based on the "Customer" field.

Testing the Integration

After the integration is set up, we recommend:

  • Placing test orders through your Infigo storefront

  • Verifying order details in GelatoConnect

  • Confirming that print files are correctly transferred

  • Testing the complete workflow from order to delivery

  • Checking that shipping and tracking information appears correctly in Infigo

  • Testing orders with mixed product types (printable and non-printable items)

  • Verifying that shipping methods appear correctly in the Infigo checkout

  • Confirming that product types are correctly identified and processed

Troubleshooting common issues

If you encounter issues with your Infigo integration:

  • Orders not appearing in GelatoConnect: Check that your Infigo API token is valid and has the necessary permissions

  • Print files missing or incorrect: Verify that your file export settings in Infigo are configured correctly

  • Product mapping issues: Ensure that product SKUs in Infigo match the expected format for GelatoConnect

  • Status updates not appearing in Infigo: Check that postback triggers are correctly configured

  • Mixed order types: For orders containing both printable and non-printable items, verify that the product types are correctly configured in Infigo (products should be marked as "normal" for printable items or "stock" for inventory items)

  • Shipping method errors: Ensure that the MegaScript for shipping in Infigo is properly configured with the correct URL, currency, and token

For any integration issues, please contact our support team with the specific order references affected.
