Connecting custom carrier API

ChannelDock has a lot of pre-built carrier integrations that sellers and fulfillment centers can use. Since we do not have time to built a connection to every carrier platform out there, we have created a set of API's so that you as a carrier can create shipment methods in ChannelDock for a specific seller / fulfillment center. This guide describes the steps you need to take in order to make this happen.

Step 1:
Generate API credentials:
- Seller: https://channeldock.com/portal/public/settings/api_keys
- Fulfillment center: https://channeldock.com/portal/public/centersettings/api_keys

Step 3:
Generate a label in ChannelDock.
