Apply for an enterprise (invoiced) account, for platforms printing at volume behind their own checkout. Enterprise orders auto-confirm with no payment link and are settled monthly, with a minimum of ₹10,000 of orders a month (a month below that is billed at retail). Storybooks are priced 25% below the retail price list (every copy at that price), and custom-cut stickers have lower platform prices. Greeting cards are the retail price for everyone. Requires a registered India GSTIN for tax invoicing. It is checked against the GST registry, and one the registry lists as cancelled is refused. No key is issued here or sent by email. A person reviews the application, and once approved the person at contact_email signs in at https://themassprint.com/business with a one-time email code (no password) and creates the API key there, shown once. Once approved, you pay a ₹10,000 advance at themassprint.com/business before you create the API key. Online it costs ₹10,205 by UPI or netbanking, or ₹10,310 by card, wallet, EMI or Pay Later, which covers Razorpay's fee. The advance is adjusted against your first monthly bill, and you can pay it by bank transfer instead. Use this only when a human has asked to set up a business or enterprise print account.

Cancel an order, stopping it before it is printed. With the order_token from create_order this works while the order is awaiting_payment (which also closes its payment link, and a payment that still lands on it is refunded in full automatically), and after payment until production starts (order.refund_on_cancel is true), when the payment is refunded in full automatically and the result status is refunded. A platform that sends its own API key (Authorization: Bearer mp_live_...) can additionally cancel an order THAT KEY created while it is confirmed or printing — that is how you stop a press when your customer cancels on your side. shipped and delivered can never be canceled; that is a refund, contact support (see get_catalog). Once printing has started, canceling (creating key only) stops production but moves no money. Canceling releases the order's client_reference — replaying that reference afterwards creates a new order and prints it. If the order moved on before the cancel landed you get not_cancellable naming its new status, never a false "canceled".

Create a print order for an uploaded PDF, at the size you choose (size, from formats[].sizes in get_catalog; without it, the size the pages match exactly, else size_required). The file is never refused for its content: it is checked against the order after payment by our print team, who fit it to the size ordered and contact the buyer if they cannot. A storybook needs a page count we price. Returns { order, order_token } — the order object has order_id, status, amount, and payment_url (the Razorpay link, present while awaiting_payment). Give payment_url to the human to pay by the method chosen in pay_with (UPI or netbanking by default, which adds the 2% Razorpay fee; card adds 3%). SAVE order_token — it is shown only once and is required for get_order and cancel_order. The order confirms automatically after payment; unpaid orders expire after 72 hours. An order may carry a coupon code, which gives it the enterprise price.

Start a PDF upload. Returns {upload_id, put_url, expires_at, max_bytes}. HTTP PUT the raw PDF bytes to put_url (Content-Type: application/pdf, no auth needed — the URL is signed). The PUT accepts any PDF and returns 200 with a report of what it read (page count, page size, the size it looks like, warnings); only bytes that are not a PDF are refused (415). Then pass upload_id to create_order with the size you want. No API key or sign-in needed. Without one, uploads are limited per calling origin: 20 an hour and at most 5 unused uploads open at a time, and put_url expires in 2 hours. So PUT the bytes promptly and reuse an upload_id you already hold instead of creating extras. An API key (see apply_enterprise) removes these limits and gives a 24-hour put_url.

Show the account behind your API key (Authorization: Bearer mp_live_...): its name, payment mode (invoiced for enterprise accounts) and GSTIN. massprint never messages your customers: tracking reaches you through get_order and your webhooks, and you tell your customers. Requires an API key. Enterprise accounts create and revoke keys at https://themassprint.com/business.

List what can be printed: SKUs (storybook books; custom-cut stickers from 500 pieces; greeting cards from 10; and, for platforms, sticker-a3 foam-board wall charts, one per order, and greeting-card-a5 folded cards from one copy), formats, supported trim sizes, page-count limits, prices (INR, shipping and GST included; paying online adds the Razorpay fee for the method, see online_payment), and shipping coverage (India only). Stickers and greeting cards are priced per piece in piece_prices. Every product takes an optional coupon on create_order, which takes a percentage off retail, never below making cost (the enterprise price). Each format lists the sizes an order chooses from in formats[].sizes (pass the id as size on create_order). Call this first to quote a price.

Check an order: status (awaiting_payment → confirmed → printing → ready_for_dispatch → pickup_scheduled → shipped → out_for_delivery → delivered; or returning, returned, lost if the parcel did not arrive), tracking number once it is booked with the courier (ready_for_dispatch) with every courier scan in tracking.events, and — while unpaid — the payment_url again (so you can always re-answer "how do I pay"). Requires the order_token from create_order, or the API key that created the order (Authorization: Bearer mp_live_...).

Get the report for an uploaded PDF: page count, page size, the size its pages are or are scaled to (by_sku[sku].page_fit, e.g. A4 at 10×), and warnings. The report is advice: no file is refused for its content, and our print team checks every file against the order after payment. The one exception is a storybook, whose page count sets the price: create_order refuses a count we do not price (page_count_out_of_range). Free to call. Reads only your own uploads: without an API key, the uploads you made without one; with a key, that key's uploads.
