In Pressero, go to Admin > Preferences > Shipping > Carrier Accounts, scroll to Freight Express, enter the API Key and Account Number then click "Save."
Create a New Shipping Method
To set up Direct Freight Express as a Shipping Method, go to Admin > Preferences > Shipping > Methods.
Click the + Add New button, enter a name for the method in the Method Name field, then select Direct Freight Express in the Carrier drop-down. Select Direct Freight Express as the Service (Service drop-down).
Next, select a Rate Type under Provider Options. The Rate Type refers to what rate charge should be applied to the consignment. Direct Freight Express has the following standard rate types:
- Item – to be specified when either item or kilo rate charge is to be applied, usually shipped as cartons
- Pallet – to be specified when pallet rate charge is to be applied
If "Include fuel levy" is checked, then shipping costs will include fuel surcharge.
If "Calculate cubic kilos of an item?" is checked, then price will be calculated using cubic logic; otherwise Pressero will pass package dimensions (length/width/height). Here is an example from the Carrier's site:
