Before you create your first shipment there are a few one-time setup steps. The Settings page shows you which steps are complete and which still need attention.
Step 1 — Enter your company information
Go to Settings → Account and fill in your company name and default sender address. This information is pre-filled on every new shipment, saving you time.
The sender address is also used as the return address on labels if no explicit return address is set.
Step 2 — Connect a carrier
Go to Settings → Integrations and add at least one carrier. Each carrier requires different credentials — see the Connecting your carrier account guide for the exact fields needed per carrier.
Step 3 — (Optional) Add package presets
If you regularly ship in the same box sizes, go to Package Sizes and save your common dimensions. These appear as one-click presets when creating a shipment, so you do not have to retype dimensions every time.
Step 4 — (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.
