Selecting your Carriers and Services

Once your Retailer account and default warehouse have seen set up, and the required carriers have been added to your account, you can start adding carriers and their associated services via the Delivery Manager GUI.

Preparation

Log into the Delivery Manager Delta environment using the Administrator Login and Password that were generated when your account was set up. Only once your configuration is working satisfactorily in the Delta environment, should you copy it to your own Production environment.

  3. In the Available Services column, select the service(s) that you wish to make available.

Once the required services have been selected, add them by clicking Subscribe to service, to move them to the Subscribed service(s) column.

  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all the required carriers and services have been added.

  5. Click Save Changes in the top right hand corner of the screen.

  6. If you added a new carrier or subscribed to any new carrier services for an existing carrier, you are automatically taken to the Configure Carriers screen so that you can configure the added carrier and/or carrier services.
