To ensure accurate and efficient order fulfillment, adhere to our recommended file naming structure. The optimal format is: {order_number}_{order_item_number}.<file-extension>

For instance, if the order number is 12345 and the order item number is 67890, the file name should be 12345_67890.pdf. We accept files in JPEG, PNG, and PDF formats.

Once your S3 bucket is set up and your files are named correctly, you can connect your storage to your Gelato account. In your Gelato dashboard, go to "Store Settings" and provide the full file path to your S3 bucket, including the domain and any relevant folders.

For personalized assistance with setting up your automated fulfillment workflow, reach out to your dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM). As a Gelato+ Gold subscriber, you have access to tailored support to ensure a smooth and successful implementation.
