To offer a wide selection of carriers we do not integrate directly with carriers but with shipping platforms that do. This offers both a superior experience to customers and merchants in terms of reliability. Costs for shipping labels are billed directly to your account at one of these platforms.

See the available platforms and carriers over here: Supported Carriers​

• Do you need your own carrier contract? No. See Do I need my own carrier contract?​

• Can you connect your own carrier contract? Yes. See Can I use my own carrier contract with pre-negotiated rates?​

If you have an existing shipping platform account or already signed up for one we support, follow our walkthrough at the end of this page.

Note

• you do not need to make any changes to your existing business or processes by using these shipping platforms and by creating an account with them

• the account you have with them can be solely used for the return labels and nothing else

• you do not need to install any additional apps on your store for this to work

Other points
