Add carrier billing in ShipStation API

Carrier billing and label funding are maintained in the ShipStation API portal, not in a QuickStart form. The available options depend on whether you use a ShipStation API discounted carrier or your own carrier account.

Before you begin

Begin Register with ShipStation API and continue until Continue to ShipStation API opens the third-party portal. You also need authorization to accept the carrier’s terms and enter company payment information. The redirected portal is maintained by ShipStation, and its page names and billing fields can change independently of QuickStart.

Open carrier billing

  1. In the ShipStation API portal opened from Continue to ShipStation API, use the current ShipStation instructions for the selected carrier to connect your own carrier account or configure the carrier’s required funding method. Do not enter payment information unless your company has authorized it.
  2. Complete the portal flow and return to QuickStart.
  3. If the registration dialog is still open, select Registration Complete.
  4. Open Menu > Products and services > Settings > Shipping > Shipping carrier accounts.
  5. Select Refresh integrated carriers to synchronize the carrier connection.

QuickStart Help does not define the third-party payment fields or terms. Confirm the carrier appears in QuickStart after the refresh before creating a shipping method.
