After successful validation, or by skipping validation, you can continue to “Configure This Carrier.” Or, from the left-hand navigation bar, select Carriers, and then click on the name you’ve given Easyship to proceed.

The Basic tab Overview section will allow you to correct any of the default settings you’ve previously entered. Account Settings allows you to select the category of products you’ll be shipping in the “Product Description” dropdown, which you may have already entered during validation. This description will be provided for customs information. The list of Shipping Methods can also be edited on this tab.

Very Important: ShipperHQ allows you to add all of the shipping methods that are possible within Easyship. However, in order to ensure that you receive rates for each of these methods you will need to check that the carriers have also been linked in your Easyship account. If you have not linked the carrier in your Easyship account, adding the method below will not produce rates in ShipperHQ.

The Package tab will allow you to determine the minimums and maximums for this particular carrier, as well as preferences for the carrier as a whole.

The next tab will allow you to establish Handling Fees by flat $ dollar amount or percentage and select whether this fee is applied to free shipping promotions as well.

Additional features and options can be selected on the Optional tab like restricting this carrier to specific zones, handling errors for this carrier, selecting a free shipping method and address type selector.

Reminder: You must have the Dimensional Packing feature enabled in order to test rates for this method.
