For Agents
Manage print shop orders, customers, invoices, and line items. Track order statuses and production workflows for screen printing and custom apparel businesses.
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Printavo API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Printavo API API.
Track print orders through production stages from quote to delivery
Maintain customer records with contact details and order history
Generate and retrieve invoices tied to specific print orders
Query line items with pricing breakdowns for each order
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to create a new print order for a customer, I want to look up the status of an existing order, List all customers in my print shop account, Retrieve the invoice for a specific order

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for Printavo API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Printavo API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Printavo API provides print shop management capabilities including order lifecycle tracking, customer relationship management, invoice generation, and line item details. The API supports 14 endpoints covering orders, customers, invoices, line items, and order statuses, enabling print shops to programmatically manage their production workflows and client accounts.
Monitor order status transitions across the production pipeline
Associate customers with their active and historical orders
Calculate order totals from individual line item costs and quantities
Patterns agents use Printavo API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Print Order Lifecycle Management
Track print orders from initial quote through production and delivery using the Printavo API. Each order contains customer references, due dates, production notes, and total amounts. The API allows creating new orders, updating details as production progresses, and deleting cancelled orders. Print shops handling 50+ orders per week can automate status tracking and customer notifications.
Create a new order for customer ID 42 with a due date of 2026-07-01, production notes 'Rush order - 100 t-shirts', and verify it appears in the order list
Customer Database Synchronization
Synchronize print shop customer records between Printavo and external CRM or accounting systems. The customers endpoint provides first name, last name, email, company, and phone fields. Agents can create new customer records when a new client places an order and keep contact information up to date across systems.
List all customers, find any without an email address, and update customer ID 15 with the email 'contact@acmeshirts.com'
Invoice and Billing Retrieval
Pull invoice data from Printavo for accounting reconciliation or payment follow-ups. Each invoice includes the associated order ID, total amount, and balance due. Print shops can use this to identify unpaid invoices and trigger payment reminders without manual spreadsheet tracking.
Retrieve all invoices, identify any with a balance_due greater than zero, and return the order IDs and amounts owed
AI Agent Integration for Print Shop Automation
AI agents can use the Printavo API through Jentic to automate repetitive print shop tasks such as order creation from incoming emails, status update notifications, and invoice follow-ups. Jentic provides the structured schema and credential isolation so agents can call Printavo endpoints without accessing raw API keys or reading documentation.
Search Jentic for 'create a print order', load the operation schema, and execute a new order creation with customer_id 10 and due_date '2026-08-01'

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Printavo bearer tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped access tokens for each session and never see the raw API credentials in their context window.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'create a print order' or 'list print shop customers') and Jentic returns matching Printavo operations with input schemas, so the agent calls the correct endpoint without browsing documentation.
Time to first call
Direct Printavo integration: 1-2 days for auth setup and endpoint mapping. Through Jentic: under 1 hour using pip install jentic, search, load schema, and execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Use ShipStation when you need to generate shipping labels and track deliveries. Use Printavo when you need to manage the print production workflow before shipment.
Specific to using Printavo API API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Printavo API?
Printavo does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Printavo API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.
What authentication does the Printavo API use?
The Printavo API uses Bearer token authentication. You include your API token in the Authorization header of each request. Through Jentic, your bearer token is stored encrypted in the credential vault and agents receive scoped access without seeing the raw token.
Can I track order production status with the Printavo API?
Yes. The /order_statuses endpoint returns all configured production statuses, and each order object includes an orderstatus_id field that indicates its current stage. You can update an order's status by sending a PUT request to /orders/{id} with the new orderstatus_id value.
What are the rate limits for the Printavo API?
The Printavo API does not document explicit rate limits in the specification. In practice, standard REST API etiquette applies. If you receive 429 responses, implement exponential backoff before retrying.
How do I retrieve all invoices with outstanding balances through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'list printavo invoices', load the listInvoices operation schema, and execute the call. The response includes balance_due for each invoice. Filter the results client-side to find invoices where balance_due is greater than zero. Install with pip install jentic and authenticate with your JENTIC_AGENT_API_KEY.
Can I create orders with line items in a single request?
No. The Printavo API separates order creation from line item management. First create the order via POST /orders with the customer_id and due_date, then add line items separately. Line items reference the order through the order_id field and include name, quantity, and unit_cost.
/customers
Create a new customer record
/invoices/{id}

/order_statuses
