Amazon Company Setup

 

The first time you run ShipGear you'll perform a few basic setup steps to get things running. In the following process, you will connect ShipGear to your Amazon company and then link up with UPS WorldShip®, USPS (Endicia Pro or DAZzle), and/or FedEx Ship Manager® .

 

 

1. Run ShipGear Exchange : Start > Programs > ShipGear Client > Exchange

You can also double-click the ShipGear Exchange shortcut on your desktop.

 

 

The ShipGear icon (with a red dot in the center) displays in your system tray as ShipGear initializes :     


2. Shipment Email Notification Wizard

eNotify is a ShipGear module that automatically generates shipment notification, update, and cancellation emails for your customers when you save or change shipments in the carrier system. Emails are generated from templates that you can customize with data from fields in UPS WorldShip or eBay.

The ShipGear Email Notification Wizard that runs during initial setup will help you to configure eNotify. You can go back and access this setup wizard at any time from Modules > ShipGear eNotify Premium > Configure.

For more information about the Email Notification Wizard, see eNotify Setup.
