International Bridge Shipping, Built Into ShipStation

You need three things before you start:

• A ShipStation account
• An active International Bridge account
• Your International Bridge email address and password, plus an optional Origin Warehouse

Having those details ready keeps setup simple and avoids stopping midway through the connection.

Follow the setup path in ShipStation:

• Go to Account Settings
• Select Shipping, then Carriers from the sidebar
• Open the Your Carrier Accounts tab
• Click Add Carrier
• Select International Bridge and click Connect
• Enter your email address, password, optional IB Origin Warehouse, and Account Nickname
• Click Connect

If your US- or Canada-based plan requires the Your Carriers add-on, ShipStation prompts you to enable it before you connect the account.
