Carrier Rules & Markup

\n

Once a carrier is connected, two optional settings control how that carrier is used and priced: Carrier Rules and Custom Markup. Both are configured in the Shipwell application, and both apply automatically to your Rating and Dispatch results from then on — there's no separate API call needed to use them.

Carrier Rules

\n

Carrier Rules scope when a connected carrier account should (and shouldn't) be used, on the carrier's Rules tab in the Shipwell application. You can set limits such as:

\n\n

A shipment that falls outside these limits is treated as an exclusion for that carrier account. Two separate toggles then control whether an exclusion actually blocks the account from being used:

Carrier Rules apply automatically once set — you don't need to check them yourself before rating or dispatching.

\n

Custom Markup

\n

Custom Markup automatically adjusts the rate a customer sees on top of what a carrier quotes — useful if you're rebilling capacity to your own customers. A markup rule can apply:

\n\n

Rules are evaluated in priority order, and only active rules apply. Like Carrier Rules, markup is applied automatically to matching rates — you don't need to calculate or apply it yourself.

\n
Note

Carrier Rules and Custom Markup are configured per Shipwell account, not per API request. Contact your Shipwell representative if you'd like help setting either one up.
