gelato

gelato_cancel_order

Cancel an order before production. Gelato refuses (HTTP 409) once any item is printed or the order has shipped. This cannot be undone. POST /v4/orders/{orderId}:cancel.

gelato_check_stock

Stock status of stockable products per stock region (US-CA, EU, UK, OC, AS, SA, ROW): in-stock, out-of-stock-replenishable (with a replenishment date), out-of-stock, non-stockable or not-supported. POST /v3/stock/region-availability.

gelato_create_order

Create an order. By default it is a DRAFT: nothing is produced or charged until it is submitted with gelato_submit_draft_order (or in the dashboard). With order_type "order" Gelato starts production and charges the account right away. Shipment: a shipmentMethodUid from gelato_quote_order, or "normal"/"standard"/"express"; omitted = the cheapest. POST /v4/orders.

gelato_create_product_from_template

Create a product in a connected store from a template, with your own images in the template's placeholders. Gelato creates the product, then publishes variants and mockups in the background (track it with gelato_get_store_product). Hidden in the online store unless visible_in_online_store is true. POST /v1/stores/{storeId}/products:create-from-template.

gelato_delete_draft_order

Permanently delete a DRAFT order (regular orders cannot be deleted; cancel them instead). DELETE /v4/orders/{orderId}.

gelato_get_catalog

One catalog with the attributes that define its products (e.g. PaperFormat, PaperType, ColorType) and each attribute's possible values. Use them as attribute_filters in gelato_search_products. GET /v3/catalogs/{catalogUid}.

gelato_get_cover_dimensions

Cover layout of a multi-page product (photo book, brochure) in millimetres: spine, front, back, bleed and wraparound areas, for designing the cover file. GET /v3/products/{productUid}/cover-dimensions.

gelato_get_order

One order by Gelato order id: type (order/draft), fulfillment and financial status, items with their files and statuses, shipment with packages and tracking codes/URLs, shipping address, receipts and totals. GET /v4/orders/{orderId}.

gelato_get_product

One catalog product by productUid: attributes, weight, supported and unsupported countries, whether it is printable or stockable, and valid page counts for multi-page products. GET /v3/products/{productUid}.

gelato_get_product_prices

Gelato's production prices of a product for every quantity tier, optionally for one destination country and currency. page_count is required for multi-page products. Shipping is not included (use gelato_quote_order). GET /v3/products/{productUid}/prices.

gelato_get_store_product

One product of a connected store: title, description, status, variants (with productUid and external ids), options, preview and publishing state. GET /v1/stores/{storeId}/products/{productId}.

gelato_get_template

A product template made in the Gelato dashboard: title, description, preview, and its variants (id, title, productUid; pass the variant id as template_variant_id) with their image placeholders (names to fill in gelato_create_product_from_template). GET /v1/templates/{templateId}.

gelato_list_catalogs

List Gelato's product catalogs (posters, cards, t-shirts, mugs, photo books, ...) with their catalogUid and title. Start here to find products. GET product.gelatoapis.com/v3/catalogs.

gelato_list_shipment_methods

Gelato's shipment methods (shipmentMethodUid, name, type normal/express/pallet, tracking, business/private, supported destination countries), optionally only those for one destination country. GET shipment.gelatoapis.com/v1/shipment-methods.

gelato_list_store_products

Products of a connected e-commerce store (Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, ...) as Gelato knows them: id, title, status (created/publishing/publishing_error/active), external id, variants with their productUid, preview images and dates. The store id is in the Gelato dashboard URL of the store and on its orders (storeId). GET ecommerce.gelatoapis.com/v1/stores/{storeId}/products.

gelato_quote_order

Price an order before placing it: product prices and the available shipment methods (shipmentMethodUid, price, min/max delivery days and dates) per fulfillment facility, for a recipient address. Nothing is created or charged. Pass a returned shipmentMethodUid to gelato_create_order. POST /v4/orders:quote.

gelato_search_orders

Search orders and drafts, newest first: id, your reference ids, order type, fulfillment and financial status, channel, store, country, currency, totals and dates. Filter by status, type, country, channel, store, reference, date range or free text (recipient name or order reference). POST /v4/orders:search.

gelato_search_products

List the products of a catalog, optionally filtered by attribute values, with each product's productUid, attributes, weight and dimensions, plus hit counts per attribute value. POST /v3/catalogs/{catalogUid}/products:search.

gelato_submit_draft_order

Convert a DRAFT order into a regular order: Gelato starts production and charges the account. Items stay as they are. Only drafts can be submitted. PATCH /v4/orders/{orderId} {"orderType":"order"}.
