After or during your operation, you will most likely want that techShip pushes tracking and freight information into your WMS.


WARNING: The following detailed options might not be available for some WMS connections. Please reach support if you are not sure if your techShip-WMS connection supports it.


NOTE: Freight cost will be updated for Prepaid accounts only. If you have 3rd Party accounts which require updating the freight cost back, these will need to be setup as Prepaid Ship on Behalf accounts.  


There are several ways to do so, three of which you can do for yourself, and one that has to be set up by techShip support:

  • Updating the information in your WMS when manifesting
  • Updating the information and closing the orders in your WMS when manifesting (Default)
  • For both options above, add updating the freight information in your WMS as well (always when manifesting)
  • Updating the information in your WMS automatically when processing (this has to be set by techShip support, and will require you to close the orders manually in your WMS, or Manifesting to close when supported)


Feel free to follow the step-by-step guide or watch the video, as you prefer:
