Carrier Bill-to-Third Party Feature: Setup Guide

This article explains how to set up your account to use your own carrier credentials.

When to Use

Use this feature when:

• Your company needs to ship products but have the shipping charges billed to another Carrier account
• You're fulfilling orders for a partner who covers shipping costs
• You need to maintain shipping operations while billing to a parent company or subsidiary
• You have an account with a major carrier that offers favorable shipping rates tailored to your needs

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Access Carrier Settings

1. Log into your account
2. Navigate to Global Settings (the cogwheel icon at the lower left-hand side)
3. Select Orders tab
4. Click on Carrier Services subtab

Step 2: Configure Carrier Credentials

1. Enter your Carrier account number
2. Authenticate with your carrier website user credentials
3. Save your settings
4. Set a Default Carrier by clicking on the 3 dots on the right and selecting the "Set as Default" option
   
   

Step 3: Verify Setup

After completing the setup, your account will immediately use your own Carrier rates. You can verify this when estimating shipping rates for new orders.

Important Notes

• Changes to carrier settings take effect immediately
• This feature is fully supported and doesn't require any additional development work
• The same functionality works across different carrier integrations
• If the customer uses their own FEDEX/UPS account, they can still rate shop with Skupreme. If their account rates win, the system will just pick the best rate.
