FAQs
Manual Orders + PODJST Questions
Clear answers about CSV intake, review, payment, production, shipping, and tracking return.Do I need to connect a store to use PODJST?
No. Manual orders are designed for sellers using an unsupported platform and for sellers who prefer not to authorize a store connection.
How do I get the PODJST CSV template?
Request the current manual-order template from PODJST online support. Using the current format helps support review the batch without unnecessary back-and-forth.
What information does the CSV need?
The file normally includes the saved product or SKU, quantity, recipient, address, and shipping preference. Support will confirm any product-specific or route-specific fields before you submit the batch.
Can I use manual orders with any sales platform?
You can use the manual workflow when your sales platform has no supported PODJST integration or when you do not want to connect the store. Product and shipping eligibility still depends on the selected item, destination, and order setup.
Are manual orders synced automatically?
No. You send the completed CSV file to PODJST online support. We review and confirm the batch with you before production begins.
When do I confirm the order cost?
Support checks the product mapping, order data, shipping route, and payable amount with you before approved orders move into production.
What happens after I approve and pay for the batch?
Eligible orders move through production, quality checks, packing, and the selected shipping route. Timing depends on the product, quantity, destination, and service level.
Can I order a sample before sending customer orders?
Yes. A sample can help you review print quality, placement, product fit, and packaging before you prepare a larger manual-order batch.
How do I receive tracking numbers?
After dispatch, PODJST returns the shipment and tracking details through the agreed support handoff so you can update your store, marketplace, or customers.
Does PODJST notify my customers directly?
The manual workflow returns tracking information to you. You remain responsible for updating the sales channel and sending any customer-facing shipping notification unless another arrangement is confirmed in advance.
Can I switch to an automatic integration later?
Yes. You can begin with manual CSV orders and connect a supported channel later without changing the products or fulfillment partner you already use with PODJST.
