Pacdora Integration

overview & purpose pacdora is a cloud based 3d packaging and product design platform that enables users to create, customize, and preview packaging and die line–based products in an interactive design environment it provides ready made structural models, real time 3d visualization, and powerful design tools that help users accurately visualize how their final printed product will look before production the pacdora designer studio integration with onprintshop allows these capabilities to be embedded directly into the onprintshop storefront with this integration, end users can customize supported products using pacdora’s design studio without leaving the onprintshop environment the integration ensures that product dimensions, models, and templates are correctly loaded into pacdora, while design outputs such as previews and print ready files are seamlessly carried forward into the onprintshop order flow how to integrate 1\ get api id and key from pacdora log in to your pacdora console and, from the pacdora dashboard, navigate to account → api info on this page, you can view your api id and api key make sure to save these details securely, as they will be required later while configuring the pacdora integration in onprintshop next, configure the size units for pacdora products and templates from the dashboard, go to the settings section in the settings pop up, locate the size unit option and select all applicable units that you plan to use for your products and templates this ensures that product dimensions are handled correctly and remain consistent between pacdora and onprintshop 2\ configuration in admin panel on your admin panel, go to the store configuration >> external service settings >> others tab >> pacdora >> ‘edit’ option add the app id and app key copied in the above step select the default pacdora unit from the dropdown and save 3\ product level mapping a product mapping option is provided to associate onprintshop products with pacdora models using this configuration, administrators can map products to a specific pacdora model id , enabling pacdora based design customization for those products before configuring product level mapping in onprintshop, ensure that the required models are already created in the pacdora platform in the design assets > model library section to begin with product mapping, click on the product mapping button under the help section from the product mapping screen, click on the add button here, you need to enter the model id for the selected product in this field to obtain the model id, log in to your pacdora account and navigate to design assets → model library from the dashboard from the model listing, locate the required product and copy its model id , then paste it here to complete the mapping 4\ pacdora template creation the next step is to create templates in the onprintshop admin panel by mapping them with the corresponding pacdora template ids, so the pacdora designs can be used directly during product customization before creating pacdora templates in onprintshop, make sure the required templates are already created in the pacdora platform in the design assets > templates section in the admin panel, navigate to the add template screen and select a product along with a size that is already mapped to a pacdora model id once the pacdora integration is done, an additional template type named pacdora template becomes available you can choose this template type to proceed after choosing the pacdora template option, a field is displayed to enter the pacdora template id enter the template id from the pacdora platform to obtain the template id from the pacdora dashboard, navigate to design assets → templates from the template listing, locate and select the required template, copy its template id from the tooltip screen, then paste it here click save and continue to create the template if you want to modify the template, you can do so in the pacdora designer once the design is completed and saved, the system captures the final design output and automatically generates the design image as the template preview in onprintshop 5\ storefront flow on the storefront, the pacdora templates appear alongside existing templates on the browse design page, providing customers with flexible design choices when a customer selects a pacdora template, the pacdora editor opens with that specific template loaded, while choosing use custom studio launches a blank pacdora studio based on the mapped model id the designer opens with the correct product model, template (if selected), and dimension unit as defined in the product configuration customers can then personalize the design using pacdora’s tools, adjust content, and finalize the artwork after saving the design, the customer is returned to the onprintshop flow, where the generated preview images and print ready design data from pacdora are automatically attached to the product the order then continues through the standard onprintshop process, including add to cart, checkout, and order placement, with the completed pacdora design preserved throughout
