Printdash

Checks that Printdash is reachable and says whether you are signed in. Printdash prints in Australia and delivers within Australia only; prices are in AUD and include GST.

Takes no parameters.

Every product Printdash sells (business cards, flyers, stickers, labels, booklets, signs, banners and more), with its id, a one-line description, its page and from_price: the starting price the site shows ("From $X inc GST for N", public retail for the product's default job). Start here or with search_products. A from_price is a guide only: price_job gives the exact price of the customer's job. Printdash prints in Australia and delivers within Australia only; prices are in AUD and include GST.

Takes no parameters.

Finds the Printdash products that match the customer's words ("A5 flyers", "round stickers", "pull up banner"), best first. Returns ids for get_product, each with the site's from_price (a starting price; price_job gives the exact one). Printdash prints in Australia and delivers within Australia only; prices are in AUD and include GST.

The whole option form for one Printdash product, as its product page offers it: every field in the order to ask, whether it is required, each option's id and label, defaults, quantity and custom size limits, page counts, what is applied automatically, which stocks a finish is priced on, the product image, the artwork guides that apply, and default_configuration (the page's starting job, ready for price_job). Read this before asking the customer anything. Printdash prints in Australia and delivers within Australia only; prices are in AUD and include GST.

Turns the customer's words ("velvet", "A5", "double sided", "500", "90 x 55mm", "round corners") into option ids for one product, given what is already chosen. Returns matches, the ambiguous phrases with every candidate (never a guess: ask the customer), options not available with what is chosen, the words it could not place, and the configuration so far for price_job.

Printdash's artwork setup guides as Markdown (bleed and safe zone, print-ready PDFs, colour, double-sided, cut lines, spot finishes, lamination, stocks, white ink, booklets, folding, wide format, Illustrator and InDesign export). Without a topic, the list. With a product (and its configuration), what that product's page says on the topic, sized for the job.

What a print-ready file must be for a product and configuration: finished size, bleed, safe zone, the PDF page size including bleed, pages or sides expected, the spot plate names a spot finish needs, the cut line rule, resolution, accepted file types and the size limit. The same rules the product page's guide card uses.

Prices one exact job with Printdash's pricing engine: a product id and a configuration of option ids (from get_product or match_options). Returns the price ex GST, GST and total inc GST, turnaround, a config_id and a share_url that opens the job on printdash.io; with an Australian postcode (or, signed in, a saved address id) the delivered price too. Signed in, the price is the customer's own account price. If the job cannot be priced it says what is missing, what is wrong, or the nearest combinations that can be. Relay prices exactly as returned. Printdash prints in Australia and delivers within Australia only; prices are in AUD and include GST.

The same job priced at up to 8 quantities (the price ladder), each from Printdash's pricing engine, with the delivered price when an Australian postcode is given. Relay prices exactly as returned. Printdash prints in Australia and delivers within Australia only; prices are in AUD and include GST.

Whether Printdash delivers to an Australian postcode (or, signed in, a saved address) and, given the jobs being ordered, the delivery fee and the delivered total, priced the way checkout prices it. Australian postcodes only: anywhere else is refused, because Printdash delivers within Australia only. Prices in AUD; totals include GST.

Who the signed-in customer is: name, company, pricing tier and its discount in percent (discount_percent 5 means 5% off, already in every price the pricing tools return), whether they are buying personally or as a Team (and their role), the Teams they can switch to, whether the Team orders on account, and what the account is still missing (a delivery address, a phone number). Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Takes no parameters.

Switches the account between buying personally and buying as one of its Teams, as the account menu's Viewing as does on printdash.io. Prices, quotes, orders and addresses follow the context. Pass team_id null for personal. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

The saved delivery addresses in the current buying context, the default first, with the ids price_job and estimate_delivery take. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Takes no parameters.

The most recent orders in the current buying context, each with its status as the order page shows it, payment, total, tracking and items. Read only. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

One order by its order number: status and payment as the order page shows them, every item with its job status, tracking, dispatch, delivery address, whether it can still be cancelled, whether the invoice is available, which items can be reordered, and the order page link. Read only. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

The most recent saved quotes in the current buying context, each with its status as the Quotes list shows it, total (with delivery, as the Quotes list shows it), expiry and link. Read only. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

One saved quote by its quote number: status, lines with their quoted quantities, the lines' subtotal, delivery and the total with delivery as the quote page shows it, expiry, the public share link if it has one, whether it can be converted to an order, and the quote page link. Read only. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Saves an Australian delivery address to the address book in the current buying context (names, street, suburb, state code, four-digit postcode, optional company, mobile and type), optionally as the default. Collect it from the customer; never invent one. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Changes the fields given on one saved address (from list_addresses); the rest stay. If an order or quote was made with it, the change is saved as a new address with a new id (the result's address.id) and the orders and quotes keep the old one. Australian state codes and four-digit postcodes only. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Makes one saved address the default for the current buying context; checkout and new quotes start from it. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Prepares deleting one saved address: returns the summary to show the customer and a confirmation_token. Nothing is deleted until confirm is called with it after the customer agrees. An address an order or quote was made with leaves the address book but stays on those orders and quotes, as on printdash.io. The only saved address cannot be deleted: add the new one with create_address first. When the default is deleted, the newest other address becomes the default. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

The cart in the current buying context: each line with its line_id, job summary, price inc GST and whether it has artwork, the total before delivery, and the checkout link. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Takes no parameters.

Prices one job with Printdash's pricing engine (product id and a configuration of option ids, as price_job takes them) and puts it in the cart exactly as the product page's Add to cart does. If the job cannot be priced, nothing is added and the result says what is missing or the nearest combinations. Nothing is ordered or charged: checkout on printdash.io re-prices, takes artwork and payment. Printdash prints in Australia and delivers within Australia only; prices are in AUD and include GST. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Changes one cart line's options (only what is given: a new quantity, stock, finish or size) and re-prices it with the pricing engine. A line from a quote Printdash priced cannot be changed. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Removes one line from the cart by its line_id. Saved quotes are not affected. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Removes every line from the cart in the current buying context. Saved quotes are not affected. Ask the customer before emptying a cart they did not just fill. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Takes no parameters.

Saves a new quote with a quote number from up to 20 jobs (each a product id and configuration, priced by the engine first), with an optional saved address for delivery, pickup where the account has it, an order reference and notes. Prices are locked for 30 days. It is the customer's saved quote, ready to share with a client (share_quote, email_quote) or convert to an order. If a job cannot be priced, nothing is saved. Printdash prints in Australia and delivers within Australia only; prices are in AUD and include GST. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Changes a saved quote in place: lines to change (line_id plus only the options that change) or add (product_id and configuration), lines to remove, the reference, notes or delivery address. Changed and added lines are re-priced by the engine; untouched lines keep their prices. Accepted, ordered, expired and team-priced quotes cannot be changed. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Saves a copy of a quote as a new quote with its own number, every line re-priced today (artwork is not copied). The original is unchanged. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Prepares deleting a saved quote for good: returns the summary to show the customer and a confirmation_token. Nothing is deleted until confirm is called with it after the customer agrees. Accepted and ordered quotes cannot be deleted. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Makes, or returns the existing, public link for a saved quote: the page where the customer's client can view and approve it, and pay online when allow_payment is on. The link never changes once made. It sends nothing (email_quote does). Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Prepares emailing a saved quote's public link to someone (usually the customer's client): returns the summary to show the customer and a confirmation_token. Nothing is sent until confirm is called with it after the customer agrees. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Puts a saved quote's lines in the cart, as the quote page's Convert to order does, and returns the checkout link. No order is placed: the customer chooses delivery and pays (or orders on account) at checkout on printdash.io. Only the quote's owner can, and every line needs artwork unless Printdash priced it. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Prepares a custom quote request for a job the catalogue does not cover (description, quantities, size, sides, stock, finishing, deadline, similar product, delivery address): returns the summary to show the customer and a confirmation_token. Nothing is filed or emailed until confirm is called after the customer agrees; then Printdash's team prices it by hand. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

The customer's custom quote requests in the current buying context, newest first, each with its status as /quotes shows it and the quote it became, if any. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Takes no parameters.

One custom quote request by its request number: what was asked for, its status, whether it can still be cancelled, and the quote it became. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Cancels a custom quote request that is still pending review. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

The customer's referral code and link, how many customers and orders they have referred, their credit balance and commission. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Takes no parameters.

Prepares emailing someone an invitation with the customer's referral link: returns the summary to show the customer and a confirmation_token. Nothing is sent until confirm is called after the customer agrees. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Carries out an action prepared by delete_address, delete_quote, email_quote, request_custom_quote, send_invite, prepare_checkout (placing the order), cancel_order, request_reorder, approve_order or reject_order, after the customer has seen its summary and said yes. Pass its confirmation_token and a new UUID as idempotency_key; retrying with the same key returns the first outcome and never acts twice. Never call it without the customer's agreement. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

For a client that holds the file (Claude Code, Cursor, a script): returns a signed upload_url to PUT the file's bytes to, and an upload_id for attach_artwork. target says where it goes: a cart line (line_id from get_cart), a saved quote's line (line_id from get_quote) or an order job (item_id from get_order), plus design (1 to N, on a job with several designs) and side (front or back). Give the file name with its extension (pdf is best; ai, eps, psd, jpg, png and tif are accepted) and its size in bytes, up to 700 MB. Refused when the line's artwork can no longer change. A chat client that cannot send a file should use attach_artwork_from_url or get_artwork_uploader_link instead. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

After the file has been PUT to request_artwork_upload's upload_url: puts it on the line (in the design and side chosen then, replacing a file already in that slot), makes the page 1 and page 2 previews, runs Printdash's file checks, and returns the preview as an image with the checks' notices. The notices are the ones checkout shows; none of them blocks an order. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Fetches the file at an https link (a Canva, Figma or design tool export, Dropbox or Drive download link, a signed storage URL) up to 700 MB and attaches it like attach_artwork: target (cart_line, quote_line or order_item with its id, design, side), url, and file_name when the link's own name has no extension. A link that opens a web page instead of the file is refused, and so is a file whose contents do not match its extension. For a Canva export, name it canva-<designId>.pdf with the Canva design id: Printdash recognises Canva files by that name (they arrive at finished size by design, so the bleed notice is dropped and the studio checks bleed). Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

For programmatic clients only: attaches a file sent as base64 in data_base64, up to 10 MB, like attach_artwork (target, file_name with its extension). Never paste a file a customer dropped into a chat here; use attach_artwork_from_url or get_artwork_uploader_link. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

The printdash.io page whose own uploader takes artwork for this line: checkout for a cart line, the quote page for a saved quote's line, the order page for an order job. It opens signed in in the browser the customer connected with. Use it when the customer has the file but the chat cannot send it. Refused when the line's artwork can no longer change. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Runs Printdash's file checks on a line's artwork, the same ones the product page and checkout show: page size against the ordered size, pages against sides or booklet pages, ink to the edge for bleed, spot finish and cut line layers found, missing or misnamed, finishes knocked out, template guides left in. Each notice comes with a guide link; anything the check could not measure says nothing. Returns the preview as an image. Never blocks an order. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

The 3D mockup of a line's artwork on the product, as an image. An order job is rendered by Printdash's server and cached; if it is still rendering the result says so and you call again in about 20 seconds. A cart or quote line returns the mockup checkout or the quote page stored, or else Printdash's server renders it the same way (rendering, then call again); the flat preview comes back when there is no 3D view to show. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

The files on a cart line, quote line or order job, in order, with which file and page is each design's front and back (as the site resolves them), how many designs are ready, whether the artwork can still change, and the uploader link. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Takes artwork off a line: one design's file (design, and side for one face only), or on a one-design job the front, the back, or (no side) every file. The file itself is deleted only if no other line, quote or order uses it. Refused when the line's artwork can no longer change. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Checkout's review of the whole cart in the current buying context, as printdash.io's checkout shows it: every line with its artwork state and Printdash's file notices, delivery to a saved address (address_id, else the default) or pickup where the account has it, the order reference (required, up to 50 characters), notes, a PO number for a Team on account, is_whitelabel (Remove Printdash Branding), the totals from Printdash's own delivery pricing, expected_total, and what placing it will do: placed unpaid with a pay link on printdash.io, on the Team's account, or held for a Team owner's approval. When it is ready, the summary and a confirmation_token for place_order. Writes nothing; nothing is ordered until place_order is called after the customer agrees. Printdash prints in Australia and delivers within Australia only; prices are in AUD and include GST. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Places the order prepare_checkout summarised, after the customer has seen that summary and said yes. Pass its confirmation_token and a new UUID as idempotency_key; retrying with the same key returns the same order and never places a second. Printdash re-prices every line and refuses a price that moved since the review (then call prepare_checkout again). Payment never happens here: a card order comes back with payment_url, the order page on printdash.io where the customer pays; an on-account order needs no payment; a held order waits for a Team owner. Never call it without the customer's agreement. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Prepares cancelling one order: returns the summary to show the customer and a confirmation_token. Nothing is cancelled until confirm is called with it after the customer agrees. Only an unpaid order that is not in production can be cancelled, as on the order page; otherwise it says so. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Turns one job from a past order (item_id from get_order, where can_reorder is true) back into a configuration and prices it at today's price, optionally at another quantity, exactly as price_job does. Writes nothing: add_to_cart with its product_id and configuration_input puts it in the cart. Jobs priced by Printdash's team (reorder_by_request) go through request_reorder instead. Printdash prints in Australia and delivers within Australia only; prices are in AUD and include GST. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

For a job on a past order that Printdash's team priced (reorder_by_request in get_order): prepares the order page's reorder request, at the same or another quantity with optional notes, and returns the summary to show the customer and a confirmation_token. Nothing is filed until confirm is called after the customer agrees; then the team confirms today's price and sends a quote or pay link. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

The tax invoice for one order as a PDF attached to the result, once the order is invoiced (paid, or on a Team's account once approved). Otherwise it says plainly that there is no invoice yet. The order page link has Download invoice too. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

For a Team owner: every held order of each Team they own, oldest first, with who placed it, the total, whether it is on account, its items and its page. An account that owns no Team is told only an owner approves. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

Takes no parameters.

For a Team owner: prepares approving one held order (from list_pending_approvals) and returns the summary to show the customer and a confirmation_token. Nothing is decided until confirm is called after they agree. Approving an on-account order sends it to production; approving a card order makes it payable by any member. A member who is not an owner cannot approve. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.

For a Team owner: prepares rejecting one held order, with an optional reason the member who placed it is told, and returns the summary to show the customer and a confirmation_token. Nothing is decided until confirm is called after they agree. Rejecting cancels the order. Needs a signed-in Printdash account: called without one, the connection asks the customer to sign in on printdash.io.
