Test Environment

Test the workflow on uShip's staging environment before releasing to production. Send the following information to us via api-support@uship.com.

Step 1: Provide us with your IP address so that we can provide access for you to reach https://staging.uship.com. 
Step 2: Once we give you access to the test environment, create several Shipping Customer users. Create a Service Provider user (we need to help them with this one to make it PR eligible or give them one they can test with).
Step 3: Create a full listing to kick off generation of published rates.
Step 4: When the published rates return, book one rate as the Shipping Customer. 
Step 5: Enter test credit card information on the booking request form.
Step 6: Confirm the rate.
Step 7: Then, as the Service Provider, accept the rate within one business day.

 

Production Environment

Set up a carrier account if you don't already have one.
