Last updated
Adding a Shippo account enables you to retrieve real-time shipping rates in both the app and your customer's shopping cart. Shippo makes printing your shipping labels a breeze straight from your Tuplo App. Shippo supports most major shipping services for new or existing accounts, including FedEx, UPS, and USPS, saving you time and money when preparing to ship products.
Shippo support offers detailed help topics for new and experienced users, including a step-by-step guide to creating a new account, which can be found here.
For convenience, below is a broad outline of the steps needed to create a new business account with Shippo.
Go to goshippo.com
Click Get Started.
Follow the provided instructions to create an account.
Once an account is created and active, you'll need to generate a Shipping Token API code and paste it into your Tuplo Dashboard.
To generate a Shipping Token API code:
Log in to your Shippo account.
Click the Gear icon.
Select API from the Advanced options.
Click the Generate Token button under the Live Token section.
Copy the code provided.
Then, go to the preferences section of your Tuplo Dashboard, choose shipping, and follow these steps to connect your Shippo account to Tuplo.
Select Shippo from the Shipping Type dropdown menu.
Copy and Paste the Shipping Token API.
Click the Update Shipping button to finish the process.
Quick Tips!
We recommend saving your code in a secure location outside your Tuplo Dashboard. For security reasons, Shippo will only provide it once. If you've misplaced your code, contact Shippo support for solutions.
