How it works

Retailers receiving shipments can enable all their suppliers to use their parcel or carrier accounts to ship and generate labels (through the portal or API).

Suppliers sending shipments can use their retailer’s account or link their own ShipEngine account (both account options will be available when creating a shipment directly from the portal). Suppliers who select their own account will be given the option to select their carrier and service level. However, selecting the retailer’s account will restrict the carrier/service level to what is on the order.

For retailers: when an order is placed, the retailer will have 2 options for how a supplier can fulfill and print labels:

  • Option 1: Pre-select Carrier and Service Level on Order
    If the order has a carrier and service level listed, the same carrier and service level will be used to create the shipment document and shipping label. If you plan on sending custom ship method codes on the order to be used to create labels, you will need to map to the standard codes listed in Step 4 of our quick start guide.

  • Option 2: Rate shop all connected carriers for lowest price
    If the order does not have a carrier or service level listed (class code is blank or labeled as “UNSP”), then Logicbroker will use the Estimated Delivery Date to rate shop across all connected carriers and select the one with the lowest rate based on the accounts set up in ShipEngine.

The Carrier field refers to ShipmentInfos[0].ClassCode on the order

Make sure addresses are valid and input in correct formats (ex. Country code must be two characters).
