*Because the Canada Post eLink program requires electronic data transmission for manifests, which our carrier integration does not currently support, we recommend that you check with your Canada Post account representative before using this type of account with 3PL Warehouse Manager.

**Please note that small business accounts have no manifest requirements, but commercial accounts are required to manifest each day's shipments and provide a physical copy to the driver. If you have questions on which of these applies to you, please contact your Canada Post account representative.

Connection guidelines

Before you can start shipping orders through Canada Post, you must first connect your Canada Post account to Small Parcel Suite from the Small Parcel Settings page.

Once you connect a customer's Canada Post account to Small Parcel Suite, you cannot use your primary warehouse account for that customer when shipping with Canada Post.

  1. Navigate to the Small Parcel space, then select Settings and choose a customer from the drop-down menu.
  2. In the Carrier Accounts section, click Create.
  3. Using the drop-down menus, specify whether you are setting up a 'Warehouse Account' or 'Customer Account', select the relevant warehouse or customer, choose Canada Post, then click Next.
  4. For 'Account Nickname', enter a descriptive name to identify the account.
  5. Enter your 'Account Number', 'Contract ID', 'API Key', and 'API Secret' in the corresponding fields, then click Connect to receive a confirmation message.

    If you need help retrieving your API credentials, please reach out to your account representative at Canada Post.

     

Once connected, the carrier account is instantly set up, and your warehouse can start shipping against the account.

Note:

If this carrier account is registered in a country that is different from where your 3PL account is located (defined under Admin > Manage Company Info), you must first reach out to Support so they can update this carrier account's home country before you can begin shipping with the account.

 

We recommend printing 1–2 test shipping labels at least one business day in advance of needing to print labels for active shipments.

If you plan on connecting multiple accounts for a single carrier, please see Connecting Multiple Accounts for the Same Carrier before repeating Steps 1–5 above.
