Using Your Carrier Accounts

In addition to the ShipStation carriers that are included with your account, you can also connect your own carrier accounts so you can ship with your own negotiated rates with ShipStation API.

You can connect your accounts either programmatically with the /v1/connections endpoint or via your account Dashboard.

Requirements

To connect your own carrier accounts to ShipStation API:

You must be on an Advanced Plan or higher.
You must have an account already set up with each carrier you want to connect to ShipStation API.
You must connect your carrier accounts in the Production environment.
By default, you can only connect one instance of a carrier account. To override this default, include "allow_duplicate_account_number": "true" in your connection request.

Available Carrier Integrations

ShipStation API supports 100+ global carriers that offer a variety of domestic and international services to meet your brand's unique shipping needs.

The following list provides the connection information model and example POST calls for most of our available carriers (though this list is not exhaustive). You can find further details about using each carrier in the carrier guides (thank you for your patience while we continue to add more guides to this list - there are a lot of them!).

You can access the full list of carriers available in your ShipStation API Dashboard.

Open the sections below to view connection details and example connection requests for your carriers.

`account_number`	Account Number	string	required
`account_postal_code`	Account Postal Code	string	No
`account_country_code`	Country your UPS account is based in	string	No

{
"nickname": "My UPS account",
"account_number": "123456789",
"account_postal_code": "10001",
"account_country_code": "US"
}

You will receive a 302 response with a Location header. You must redirect your user to the URL from this header, which will land on a UPS sign-in screen.

"Location": "https://authbridge.auctane.com/authflow/ups/shipengine/initiate?callbackUrl=https..."

We advise redirecting your user to this location URL in a pop-up window. When the user has signed in, they will land on a page that will direct them to close the window. At this point, your application should make a List Carrier call to retrieve the new list of connected carrier accounts.

IMPORTANT:

UPS Technology Agreement

By connecting a UPS account, you and your users agree to the UPS Technology Agreement.

Reconnecting a UPS Account

In some cases, you may need to reconnect a UPS account to ShipStation API. Reconnection can take place in the ShipStation API dashboard or via API using the update carrier method. Reconnecting will allow you to keep the same carrier_id and connection contract.

The following scenarios will require you to reconnect your UPS account to ShipStation API:

If you change your UPS account password, use the reconnect option to reauthorize the connection.
If your UPS account refresh token times out, use the reconnect option to resolve this issue and maintain your carrier_id. This issue is somewhat rare, but can occur on some accounts.

If your UPS account was connected prior to June 3, 2024, you'll need to reconnect to re-establish a connection with the UPS oAuth API. Review our How To Reauthorize Your UPS Account help article for details.

Modify UPS Settings

ShipStation API takes advantage of some of UPS's advanced functionality but does not enable it by default. These settings can be updated in the Dashboard or via the API.

The following parameters are returned when using the GET method with the carrier settings endpoint.

Parameter	Type	Description
`nickname`	string	The display name assigned to the account.
`is_primary_account`	boolean	Indicates the account is or is not the default account.
