Overview

This document will outline how to setup Aramex Australia (formerly Fastway Couriers) in ShipperHQ.

This article covers gathering the info you need, installing the carrier, and info on how to best manage your connection between ShipperHQ and Aramex.

Requirements

Follow these directions to obtain:

  • A registered account with Aramex Couriers that can be set up by signing up here
  • A Client ID and Secret

Register for Aramex Carrier Credentials

  • The first step is to create an account using this link above or login to your existing myfastway.com.au account.
  • Navigate to Administration > API Keys > Create Key.
  • The Client ID and Secret will be shown on the screen and that is what you will need to validate your Aramex account on ShipperHQ.

Adding Aramex

Now that you have your credentials ready, use the steps below to set up Aramex in ShipperHQ.

1. Log into your ShipperHQ account & navigate to the Carriers link on the left navigation menu. 

2. Click + New to add a new carrier

3. Choose the Live Rate Carrier option

4. Use the Search Carriers option to search for Aramex or scroll down to find Aramex from the list of available carriers

5. Click to continue in connecting your carrier account to ShipperHQ. 

Note, you can select the Skip & Enter Later option, but the Aramex live rates are not enabled until these credentials are entered.

You are also reminded to add your credentials if you choose to skip the validation process. This validation is necessary for ShipperHQ to access your shipping account and rates.

Steps to Validate This Carrier

1. Enter the following credentials provided by Aramex

  • Aramex Client ID
  • Aramex Client Secret

2. Once these details have been entered, blick the Validate button to complete the validation process.

If validation is successful, click the toggle button to enable the Aramex carrier.

If validation fails, please Contact ShipperHQ Support for further assistance, or review what has been entered for accuracy & attempt to enter your credentials once more.

3. Click the Configure This Carrier button if the validation process was successful.

4. Edit any settings for this carrier then click Save to complete the setup.

5. Your Aramex carrier is now enabled and ready for configuration.

Troubleshooting

Your carrier can be installed and configured, but not validated. Successful validation depends on the accurate entry of the account information required by each carrier. If you do not have the correct information you will not be able to validate your carrier and receive live rates.
