Ship a 4over-powered storefront in weeks, not quarters.
We wire 4over's catalog, pricing, ordering, status, and dropship APIs directly into your storefront, ERP, or quote tool - so you sell their full North-American trade-print network as if it were your own production floor.
Integration at a glance
API surface
Every 4over API, production-wired.
We don't bolt on a thin wrapper. We engineer the whole stack - catalog ingestion, pricing layer, ordering, file handling, webhooks, dropship - so your customers get a native experience and your team gets observability end-to-end.
Catalog & Product API
Pull the full 4over product taxonomy - business cards, postcards, flyers, brochures, booklets, EDDM, large format, signage, apparel, promo. Attributes, options, paper stocks, coatings, sides, turnarounds - normalized into your storefront's schema.
- Product + options sync
- Stock & coating matrices
- Turnaround tiers
- Category mapping
Real-time Pricing API
Live price calculations for every spec combination - quantity, size, stock, sides, coating, turnaround. Drop the calculator into product pages, quote tools, or your ERP without baking in stale price sheets.
- Sub-second quotes
- Quantity-break logic
- Custom markup rules
- Multi-currency support
Order Submission API
Submit production-ready orders with artwork files, shipping address, billing, and dropship details. Pre-flight validation catches bad files before they hit the press.
- PDF upload + validation
- Multi-item orders
- Job notes & options
- Idempotent submission
Status & Tracking Webhooks
Subscribe to production-stage events and shipment notifications. Pipe them into your ERP, customer portal, or email/SMS automations - no polling, no stale data.
- Production stage events
- Shipping & tracking sync
- Cancellation & hold updates
- Retry-safe delivery
Blind Dropship & White-label
4over's branded-blind-shipping flow wired end-to-end - your packing slip, your brand, your tracking page. Customers never see the printer.
- Branded packing slips
- Your-brand tracking pages
- Return-address override
- Custom inserts
Account, Pricing Tiers & Auth
Token-based auth wired to your 4over reseller account. Per-customer pricing tiers, contract pricing, and account-level credit handled cleanly.
- Secure token auth
- Tiered pricing logic
- Per-customer markups
- Credit & terms sync
Built for engineers
Typed clients. Validated payloads. No mystery state.
We ship a typed 4over SDK inside your codebase - Zod-validated request and response schemas, retry & idempotency built in, structured logs to your observability stack, and a sandbox toggle on every call.
- TypeScript SDK in your repo
- Zod schemas for every endpoint
- Automatic retry with idempotency keys
- Structured logs + Sentry / Datadog hooks
- Sandbox/production env separation

});Go-to-market in 4 weeks
From kickoff to a live 4over storefront in one month.
The schedule below is our typical engagement. Larger catalogs or deeper ERP coupling extend it - never by much.
Discovery & sandbox
Audit your current ordering flow, map SKUs in scope, wire 4over sandbox credentials, agree on pricing & markup rules.
Catalog + pricing live
Catalog ingestion running on a schedule. Pricing API exposed inside your storefront or quote tool. First end-to-end test quotes flowing.
Order submission + proofing
Artwork upload, pre-flight, order submission against 4over sandbox. Internal QA on the top 5 SKU categories.
Webhooks, dropship & launch
Status webhooks wired into your ERP/notifications. Blind-ship and branded tracking pages live. Production cutover with hypercare.
What ships

Every 4over engagement ships with documentation, monitoring, runbook, and a 30-day hypercare window. Your team owns the integration after handoff - no lock-in, no per-seat platform tax.

Under the hood
The protocol-level details.
4over speaks JSON over HTTPS. We engineer everything around it for reliability - so a flaky network never costs you a customer.
“We went from a hand-built 4over price sheet that was always out of date to live pricing and one-click ordering on every product page. Reorder rate on cards and postcards more than doubled in the first quarter.”
FAQ
Engineering answers, up front.
Do we need our own 4over reseller account?
+
Yes - pricing, payment terms, and dropship setup belong to you. We integrate against your credentials. If you don't have one yet, we'll walk you through the onboarding with 4over's partner team.
Which 4over products are supported?
+
All API-exposed categories: business cards, postcards, flyers, brochures, booklets, EDDM, presentation folders, large format (banners, signs, decals), apparel, and promotional items. We map any subset you want in scope - and add more later as you grow.
Can we apply our own markup or per-customer pricing?
+
Yes. We sit a pricing layer on top of the raw 4over response - flat margin, tiered margin, per-category, per-customer, or contract pricing. Your customers never see the wholesale number.
How do status updates work?
+
We subscribe to 4over's status events and forward them to your ERP, CRM, customer portal, and email/SMS templates. If a category isn't fully event-driven yet, we add a polling fallback so your data is never more than 5 minutes stale.
What about artwork pre-flight?
+
We pre-flight on upload - bleed, resolution, color space, fonts, page count - so bad files are caught in your UI, not after the order hits 4over. Customers get a clear error or proof before they pay.
Can this run alongside our existing integrations (SanMar, PromoStandards, etc.)?
+
Absolutely. 4over is one of 30+ integrations we've shipped. We can run it standalone or unify it with apparel, promo, and direct-mail suppliers under a single catalog and ordering surface.
