Integrating with Multiple Shipping Carriers

Important:

NetSuite Ship Central is NetSuite's standard shipping solution. For more information, see NetSuite Ship Central.

The Shipping Integration with FedEx, UPS, and USPS/Endicia is not available to new customers. It is available with limited support only for existing customers before they transition to NetSuite Ship Central.

For more information about transitioning to NetSuite Ship Central, including the self-service procedure, see Upgrading from Integrated Shipping to NetSuite Ship Central (SuiteAnswers ID 1015202).

Depending on business requirements, you can use the ShipStation Connector in NetSuite Connector as an alternative. For more information, see Managing the ShipStation Connector in NetSuite Connector.

For more information about selecting the best shipping solution for your needs, see Comparing NetSuite Shipping Options (SuiteAnswers ID 1046701).

NetSuite lets you integrate with every carrier you use to track shipments and print labels.

Selecting a Default Shipping Carrier

When you set up shipping (go to Setup > Accounting > Shipping), select a default shipping carrier from the Default Shipping Carrier field. You can display any of the following based on the shipping accounts you set up: More, FedEx, FedEx/More, FedEx/USPS, FedEx/USPS/More, USPS/More, USPS.

  • If you set up only a FedEx account and don't define NetSuite shipping items, select UPS or FedEx as the default shipping carrier.

  • If you set up UPS, FedEx, and USPS accounts with NetSuite shipping items, select UPS or FedEx/USPS/More as the default shipping carrier.

  • If you don't integrate with shipping carriers, select UPS or More.

The Default Shipping Carrier preference doesn't limit you to one carrier. You can change the carrier when needed. When you create a sales order or other transaction, NetSuite displays the carrier name automatically. If you use multiple carriers, select your most-used option as the Default Shipping Carrier. You won't need to change carriers as often when entering transactions.

For more information, see Setting Shipping Preferences.

Printing Shipping Labels for Multiple Carriers

If you integrate with multiple carriers, set up printers for each carrier. Each carrier requires different drivers for printing labels. Otherwise, you'll need to reinstall the carrier-specific driver whenever you print labels for a different carrier.

To print labels for multiple shipping carriers:

  1. Set up a separate printer for each shipping carrier you use.

  2. Install the carrier-specific driver for each printer.

    For more information, See Printing Integrated Shipping Labels With a Thermal Printer.

  3. Load labels and printing supplies.

  4. Fulfill a sales order.

    The sales order must use an integrated shipping item as the shipping method or Ship Via.

  5. Check the Shipping Label Integration box.

  6. Go to Transactions > Management > Print Checks and Forms.

  7. Print labels using one of the following procedures:
