Connect Carrier Accounts
ShipGenius makes it easy to connect and manage your shipping carrier accounts from one place. This guide walks you through connecting USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL accounts to your ShipGenius workspace.
🔗 Step-by-Step: Connecting a Carrier
1. Navigate to the Carriers page
Click Carriers in the left-hand menu. You'll see a "Connect a Carrier Account" section at the top of the page.
2. Connect USPS
USPS accounts are authorized via a secure USPS login.
Click the "Authorize" button under the USPS logo.
You’ll be redirected to USPS to complete authorization.
Once connected, ShipGenius will display your USPS account status as ✅ Connected.
If you’ve already authorized USPS but haven’t entered full account info, you’ll be prompted to Add USPS Account Info.
USPS Troubleshooting
To disconnect USPS, click Log out of USPS (admin only).
If connection fails, try re-authorizing or contacting support.
3. Connect UPS, FedEx, or DHL
Click on the desired carrier’s “Add account” card (e.g., Add a UPS account).
A sidebar modal will appear prompting you to enter your Account Number, Client ID, and Client Secret.
After entering details, click Connect Account.
ShipGenius will validate the account and display it under Connected Carrier Accounts.
🔄 Managing Connected Accounts
Each connected carrier is displayed with:
The carrier logo and account number
✅ Status indicator (e.g., Active)
Options to:
