Shipper HQ integration: Connect

Sendle is integrated with ShipperHQ, which is a carrier live quoting tool for eCommerce platforms. This is a front-end solution for customers to see these rates at checkout. 

Integrating your Shipper HQ account with Sendle only takes a few minutes and will allow you to share accurate delivery date details with your customers, validate addresses, prevent shipping under- and over-charges, configure shipping rules and create multi-origin shipping processes.

Plus, you can use Sendle as your preferred shipping partner from the Shipper HQ platform.

In this article, we’ll give you an easy-to-follow guide on how to set up your account and connect Shipper HQ with Sendle.

First: Set up your account

It might seem obvious, but before we get into it you’ll need to have both a Shipper HQ account and a Sendle account:

• Create a free Sendle account.
  
• Create a free ShipperHQ account here (they offer a 30 day free trial).
