Before you create your first shipment there are a few one-time setup steps. The Settings page shows a setup checklist at the top until every required step is complete. Settings is organised in three tabs: Account, Users (customer admins only), and Integrations.
Step 1 — Set your login password
On the Account tab, use the Login password section to set the password you will use with your login username the next time you sign in.
Step 2 — Enter your account information
Still on the Account tab, fill in the Account information section: your company name, default sender address, and customs identifiers (VAT number, EORI, IOSS, VOEC). This information is pre-filled on every new shipment and on customs declarations, saving you time.
The sender address is also used as the return address on labels if no other sender is selected.
Step 3 — Connect a carrier
Open the Integrations tab and connect at least one carrier. Each carrier requires different credentials — see the Connecting your carrier account guide for the exact fields needed per carrier.
Step 4 — (Optional) Add package presets
If you regularly ship in the same box sizes, go to Package Sizes in the sidebar and save your common dimensions as package presets. These appear as one-click choices when creating a shipment, so you do not have to retype dimensions every time.
Step 5 — (Optional) Add products
If you ship internationally, go to Products and add your product catalogue with HS codes, values, and weights. ShipCelero will auto-fill customs forms from these records.
