Modified on Tue, 14 Nov, 2023 at 9:39 PM

 

When setting up your Clients in techShip, you will have to configure Billing Accounts to ship through them. These use a Baseline Account as a foundation, but their way to work could be different based on the Client's needs.


When setting Billing Accounts, you will be able to specify how it should work for that specific client, setting label references, packing slips usage, rate shopping, markups, WMS information updating and Carrier options such as the default service level, address validation, sender and return addresses, etc.


This article describes the procedure to set up a Ziing billing account, while others are specifically written for other Carriers.


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



To set up an Ziing billing account, define the following and then Save:


ADD THE ACCOUNT TO THE CLIENT PROFILE


1. Access Clients under the Maintenance menu



2. Click on the Client for which you wish to set up the billing account

3. Press Add Billing Account


4. Select the source account which will be used and Save



5. Edit the Billing account

SET UP THE GENERAL OPTIONS

 
The General Options tab is the same for every carrier. If you are already acquainted with it from previous setups, please configure it accordingly.

SET UP THE CARRIER OPTIONS 


The Carrier Options tab allows to set up basic and advanced features of your Ziing billing account.


These are the key elements:



A) Default Service Code: Choose a service code to assign to imported orders which don’t have a service code or keep it if they have.


B) Client ID: Complete with the Client ID for traceability purposes


C/D) Sender Name and Company: Specify the Sender Name and Company. You can also override the sender address (by default techShip will use the one defined on the source Carrier account) to an address different from the source. To do so, follow the steps from this article 


Press Save to apply the changes. If the information is valid, you'll be able to process orders through it.
