Configure your Dachser account in AtomicSeller: carrier access, service, label format and default sender.
1. Open the settings #
Open Shipping services, then double-click the Dachser service you want to configure. Have the credentials and settings supplied for your connection ready. The Demo values in the screenshot are fictional and must not be copied into your account.
Interface note: the observed Dachser form displays the heading Fedex Common settings. This is the label currently shown by the application. Identify the form by its Dachser logo and the Forwarder ID, Client ID (CONSIGNORID) and Client key fields.
