In order to ship for your Clients in techShip, you will have to configure Carrier Accounts to ship through.


Setting up Carrier accounts is a 3 phase process, after the Carrier container has been added to your techSHIP portal:


 Check Onboarding Requirements: When setting up a new Baseline Account, you will need to verify basic information you need in the setup process, this step will detail what that information is and how to get it.
Set up the Baseline AccountThis is your account's connection with the Carrier. You set it up once, and using it as a base, you will add Billing Accounts for each one of your Clients that will use it.
Set up Billing Accounts for Clients: Adding a Billing Account choosing from a Baseline Account setup, you will be able to specify how the account should work for that client, setting label references, packing slips usage, rate shopping, markups, address validation, sender and return addresses, etc.
