If the Site Call Back URL is not correct (for example, it includes localhost), go to PLATFORM
SETTINGS > Site Settings
, click the

Connectivity tab,

correct the site URLs, and click Save.

In most cases you will be concerned only with the first Internal Site URL and the first

External Site URL. The first Internal Site URL is typically the address of the main Digital StoreFront
server where your Digital StoreFront site is located. This is the URL on your network (behind your
firewall) that internal applications use to connect to your site. The first External Site URL is the
way external applications (outside your firewall) such as an MIS, Remote Print Center (RPC), or
PrintMessenger connect to your site. If you do not understand the settings on the Connectivity
tab, contact EFI Technical Support at [email protected] or (800) 649-5819 for help.

On the Manage Communications Channel page, in the Site Call Back URL field, select the first
external URL (External1) that you just corrected and click Saved.

MIS Integration and Fulfillment in Digital StoreFront

Enhanced integration between Digital StoreFront and an MIS is available if you purchase a license for
Fulfillment in Digital StoreFront. Fulfillment orders are orders for products that already exist (known as
non printed products in Digital StoreFront) – in contrast to print orders that result in jobs being
produced according to print specifications provided by a buyer.

What follows is a summary of key aspects of MIS integrations and fulfillment in Digital StoreFront.

Be sure to refer to the integration guide for your MIS to understand what you must configure in

the MIS for fulfillment to work, as well as to understand the workflow when fulfillment items are
ordered. Not every MIS supports fulfillment.

Fulfillment (Non Printed) Products

Fulfillment (non printed) products are created and managed in the MIS, not in Digital StoreFront.
(Although you can create non printed products in Digital StoreFront, they will not be integrated with
an MIS.)

Once Digital StoreFront is integrated with the MIS, the non printed products are automatically
imported from the MIS into the Digital StoreFront product catalog.

Product icons (thumbnails) and detail images imported from the MIS are displayed on the
appropriate pages on the site, but you cannot edit them in Digital StoreFront. (Large product icons
are handled in Digital StoreFront, however.)

Since you cannot edit images from an MIS in Digital StoreFront, and Digital StoreFront does

not scale images, be sure the images that you provide are the correct size. To find out the
recommended size, in Digital StoreFront look at the product details for a non printed product, click
Edit under Product Icon or Product Details Image, select Upload Custom Icon, and note the
recommended size.
