Introduction
Custom carriers allows Zenkraft customers to book shipments against carriers that aren’t directly integrated with Zenkraft. Shipments can be booked via the Wizard or using Process Builders and Flows and a shipping label will be generated. Once the shipment is created you can trigger emails to be sent with the required data directly to the carrier or via FTP data transfer.
Preferences
To create a Custom Courier simply go to Shipmate Preferences and click on "New"
Select "Custom Carrier" and fill in at a minimum the required sections such as Shipping Address and Billing Address.
This section is not required but if you want to store any sort of information related to the carrier you can add it here.
Service Types
The Custom Meta section is where you can set the package types, service types and reference fields you want to display. Click the button "Custom Meta Builder"
This first toggle allows you to set whether this custom carrier should be allowed to create multiple packages per shipment.
Next you need to select the Service Types. Click the Add button and then give each service type a name. Each row then has a picklist to say whether this should be shown for Domestic, International or All.
References
Finally you can select how many Reference fields this carrier can have.
Once completed you should see something similar to this screen.
These settings get saved automatically so just click the (x) at the top right of this model to save.
Don't forget to save the preference as well.
This carrier will now appear in your wizard, and you can start creating shipments.
