How to register a Canada Post Baseline Account - [Step-by-step guide]

NOTE: Please make sure you are registered at Canada Post website as Canada Post commercial customer with a parcel agreement.  
If you are a commercial customer but do not have a parcel agreement, please contact your sales representative or call 1-866-757-5480. 
If you are a Solutions for Small Business™ customer we do not have such integration with Techship.

NOTE: Before you proceed with your Canada Post integration setup, make sure that techSHIP support has created the Canada Post carrier for your Portal.  You can verify so by accessing Carriers under the Maintenance dropdown.


Once this has been done you will be enabled to follow this guide to set your Canada Post accounts in techSHIP.

If you are a commercial customer with a parcel agreement you can set up your Canada Post Account.

Feel free to follow the step-by-step guide written below or the video guide, as you prefer:

1. Login to your techSHIP Portal using your techSHIP username and password

2. Select Register Canada Post Merchant under the Plugins dropdown
