Prerequisites
Before adding a (Billing) Account, ensure that:
The Client Profile has been created. See: How to create a Client profile [Step-by-Step guide].
This setup uses a Baseline Account as the foundation. To create and configure one specific to this carrier, see: How to Add a SpeedX Baseline Account [Guide].
Follow the configuration steps as described in How to Add a Client (Billing) Account [Step-by-Step guide] using the values provided below.
Carrier-Specific Instructions
The Carrier tab contains the SpeedX-specific configuration used to define operational behavior for this Client (Billing) Account. Fields in this view are grouped visually to distinguish mandatory (red-highlighted items) and optional (blue-highlighted items) carrier-specific settings.
[Insert screenshot here]
 | Service Code: Selects the SpeedX service that will be used by default for this billing account. Use the service configured for the client’s shipping workflow. |
 | Package Type: Defines the package type to be used when processing shipments through this billing account. |
 | Item Type: Defines the item type value sent in the shipment request for this billing account. Use the value required for the client’s SpeedX setup. |
 | Currency: Defines the currency value used for client-level shipping data when applicable. Use the currency expected for the account configuration. |
 | Enable SMS Notifications: Enables SMS notification behavior for this billing account when the client workflow requires it. |
 | Address Correction: Controls whether address-correction handling is enabled for this billing account. |
 | Print Return Labels: Enables return-label printing for this billing account when return shipments are required. |
 | Port of Entry: Optional field that accepts an IATA airport code. If no value is provided, the system sends AUTO by default, which allows the account to automatically select the port of entry. |
 | Sender Name: Defines the sender contact name used by this client-level configuration when shipments are processed. |
 | Sender Company: Defines the company name used for the sender profile at the billing level. |
 | Override Sender / Return Address: Use these options to apply client-specific sender or return-address data instead of inheriting the default baseline values. |
 | To enable carrier-specific settings —and before continuing—, press Save. |
