Account
You can use the partner account to build and test the integration without the risk of being charged.
The partner account is also used for onboarding customers.
A partner account differs from a production account:
No electronic information is transmitted to the carrier, and no status information is displayed for the shipments you create.
No other communication takes place, for example, advance shipment notifications are not sent.
Labels printed out have "TEST" printed across the bar code in order to avoid accidental use.
A partner account can't be converted into a production account and vice versa.
If you want a separate account for building and testing you can apply for a test account. A test account is valid for a limited time and can't be used to onboard customers through the webshop.
You can also use your customer's account.
Configure an account
How to configure the account depends on:
Which nShift product you integrate with
Which features the customer will use
Which integration method the customer will use
The degree of integration vs. manual handling
Please refer to nShift Delivery and nShift Checkout for guidelines regarding configuration.
