This guide explains how to add and configure a SpeedX Client (Billing) Account.

A Client (Billing) Account assigns a carrier connection to a specific Client and defines how that carrier behaves for that Client.

For a complete overview of supported carriers and related setup guides, refer to techSHIP supported Carriers - Master List [Guides List].

Prerequisites

Before adding a (Billing) Account, ensure that:

The Client Profile has been created. See: How to create a Client profile [Step-by-Step guide].
This setup uses a Baseline Account as the foundation. To create and configure one specific to this carrier, see: How to Add a SpeedX Baseline Account [Guide].
Follow the configuration steps as described in How to Add a Client (Billing) Account [Step-by-Step guide] using the values provided below.

Carrier-Specific Instructions

The Carrier tab contains the SpeedX-specific configuration used to define operational behavior for this Client (Billing) Account. Fields in this view are grouped visually to distinguish mandatory (red-highlighted items) and optional (blue-highlighted items) carrier-specific settings.

[Insert screenshot here]

Service Code: Selects the SpeedX service that will be used by default for this billing account. Use the service configured for the client’s shipping workflow.

Package Type: Defines the package type to be used when processing shipments through this billing account.

Item Type: Defines the item type value sent in the shipment request for this billing account. Use the value required for the client’s SpeedX setup.

Currency: Defines the currency value used for client-level shipping data when applicable. Use the currency expected for the account configuration.

Enable SMS Notifications: Enables SMS notification behavior for this billing account when the client workflow requires it.

Address Correction: Controls whether address-correction handling is enabled for this billing account.

Print Return Labels: Enables return-label printing for this billing account when return shipments are required.

Port of Entry: Optional field that accepts an IATA airport code. If no value is provided, the system sends AUTO by default, which allows the account to automatically select the port of entry.

Sender Name: Defines the sender contact name used by this client-level configuration when shipments are processed.

Sender Company: Defines the company name used for the sender profile at the billing level.

Override Sender / Return Address: Use these options to apply client-specific sender or return-address data instead of inheriting the default baseline values.

To enable carrier-specific settings —and before continuing—, press Save.
