In SKUPREME, the "Set Credentials" button in the Order Settings facilitates the synchronization of your shipping carriers. This essential feature allows you to manage carrier credentials directly within the platform, optimizing logistics and leveraging cost-effective shipping rates. This guide provides detailed steps on how to integrate carrier services and how to utilize USPS at-cost shipping rates when no specific carrier credentials are set.
Accessing Carrier Services Configuration
To integrate and manage your shipping operations:
- Navigate to the Order Settings: Open the Orders module on your SKUPREME dashboard and locate the section for Carrier Services.
- Click 'Set Credentials': This button allows you to enter and synchronize your shipping carrier credentials, ensuring seamless integration with your logistics operations.
Features of the Carrier Services Configuration

Setting Up Your Carrier Credentials
