      FAQ

      Can I add my account number/ my client's account number to the shipping methods?

      Can I add my account number/ my client's account number to the shipping methods?

      You can, but the best practice would be to add all all 3rd Party Shipping account numbers for your team under your profile icon > Settings > Company Settings > Setup > Shipping Accounts, and all client 3rd Party Shipping accounts directly to their client page. These accounts can be pulled to your POs by selecting them while entering shipping details.
