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.

Go to the account page

View the account details

Set the default label format

Set up status callbacks

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

Share callback settings with your carrier

Merchant access

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

Add merchants to this carrier account

Capability notes

Behavior that follows from Safe Arrival's capabilities. Read these before you go live.

Real-time tracking · webhook setup needed
Shipment events (shipped, in_transit, delivered…) arrive by webhook, but Safe Arrival has to register it on their side. Share the callback details from the account page with your Safe Arrival contact (see step 5) — a one-time setup.
No rate API
Carrier Shipping Rates has no effect here. Attach a costing profile to set the shipment cost.
Domestic only
Books domestic routes only. For cross-border lanes, assign a carrier with international coverage in your network profile.
