Add a Shipping Carrier Account

Did you know our software integrates with five different shipping carriers: USPS, UPS, Fedex, Canada Post, and Purolator? Adding your shipping carrier information allows our software to charge customers real-time shipping rates as well as print shipping labels. 

First, we need to get to the account wide Shipping section. There are two ways to do this — by using the settings icon or through a store.

Settings Icon:

• Hover over the settings icon in the upper right side of our application
• Click on the Dealer Settings button

• Go to the Shipping tab in your My Account page

• You are now on the account wide Shipping tab

From A Store:

• Select any store
• Click Edit Store
• Go to the Payment & Info tab

• Click the Manage Shipping Methods button

• You are now on the account wide Shipping tab

Adding USPS:

You have access to USPS just by using OrderMyGear. There is no special set-up required because you are using OrderMyGear’s USPS account, which gets you Commercial Plus pricing!
