Configure the account
The new account opens on its detail page. General settings work the same way for every carrier: the Active toggle, default label and service, and currency. See Add a carrier account for the full reference to these shared settings — default label, merchant access, going live, and common mistakes.

Set up status callbacks
Egypt Express sends shipment status by webhook, but it has to be registered on Egypt Express's side. Copy the callback details from the account page and share them with your Egypt Express contact. This is a one-time setup.

Merchant access
On multi-merchant tenants, restrict the account to specific merchants via the Permissions tab, then Save.
