Before you start

  • A Swftbox account in good standing, plus its API credentials. The required fields are listed in All Swftbox settings below.
  • Decide the account country and the default service and label format this account uses.
1

Open the carrier accounts page

In the Carriyo Dashboard, open Settings in the left sidebar. Under Carrier Management, choose Carrier Accounts, then click the + add icon to start a new account.

Open settings

Go to Carrier Accounts

Add a new carrier account

2

Pick Swftbox

In the carrier picker, search for Swftbox and click Select. Carriyo creates a Swftbox account and opens the credential step.

Search for the carrier

3

Enter the basics

The first wizard page collects two fields:

Account name
A label that's meaningful to your team (e.g. Swftbox United Arab Emirates). Keep it short and unique.
Account country
The country this account ships from. Determines the routes and services available.

Fill in the account name and country.

  1. 1Account Name
  2. 2Account Country

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

Swftbox sends shipment status by webhook, but it has to be registered on Swftbox's side. Copy the callback details from the account page and share them with your Swftbox 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 Swftbox's capabilities. Read these before you go live.

Real-time tracking · webhook setup needed
Shipment events (shipped, in_transit, delivered…) arrive by webhook, but Swftbox has to register it on their side. Share the callback details from the account page with your Swftbox 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.
