Help / Printers and hot folders

Connect a hot folder to your lab software

Most lab and print software can watch a “hot folder” and pick up new files by themselves. Point it at SendToShop’s save folder.

About 4 minutes.

  1. 1

    Find the save folder

    In the shop app, open Settings → Files to see where orders are saved.

  2. 2

    Add it as a hot folder

    In your lab or print software, add that folder (including subfolders) as a hot folder or watched folder.

  3. 3

    Send a test order

    Scan your own QR and send a photo. Files only appear once they are complete, so the software never picks up half a file.
