Customer Paid Carriers

ShipHero provides flexibility for carriers to bill their clients directly. In this situation, the 3PL would not bill the customer for label fees.

  1. Open the 3PL Billing page.
  2. Select the customer that you want to update.
  3. Under Billing Settings on the right side of the page, click Change.
  4. Scroll down to Customer Paid Carriers.
  5. Select the carriers that should bill the customer directly.
