Connecting Multiple Carrier Accounts

Updated over 3 weeks ago

This guide applies to Sellers based in the United States only.

Overview

You can connect more than one of your own UPS and FedEx accounts, and compare the rates between connected accounts on the orders page.

Connecting Multiple Accounts

Note: Currently when you connect your own carrier account(s) you will no longer see Amazon rates for that carrier.

To connect more than one carrier accounts, follow the same steps as when connecting a single carrier account.

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Select Shipping Carrier Integrations

  3. Click “Connect Carrier Account”

  4. Choose the carrier you’d like to connect and follow the prompts

  5. Set an account nickname - this will be used to show which account rates you are viewing on the orders page. This can be changed later in Settings.

For more information on connecting carrier accounts, please refer to the guides here for UPS and FedEx.

Note: Shipping labels purchased with a connected carrier account are not eligible for Veeqo Credits

Setting a Default Account Per Carrier

The default carrier account is the one that will be used for rates from that carrier on the rate card in the orders page, if no rules are set. The first carrier you add will be the default, unless you opt to change this in settings or when adding an additional account for the same carrier.

To change default accounts, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Select “Shipping Carrier Integrations”

  3. Click on the carrier account you want to edit

  4. Tick the checkbox next to “Make this your default [carrier] account"

  5. Click Save

FAQs

  1. Will refreshing the page or using the orders refresh button revert back to the default carrier?

    No, once you've saved a carrier account for an order it will stay selected. Refreshing the orders page using the orders refresh button will not revert any changes you make on the orders page.

  2. Can I make a rule to pick whichever connected account has the cheapest rate (regardless of the default)?

    No, this is not possible at this time.

  3. Can I compare my connected carrier account rates with Amazon rates?
    No, currently when you connect your own carrier account(s), you are no longer able to see Amazon rates for that carrier. You can compare between your connected account rates, but not between connected account rates and Amazon rates.
