Pixa Lab integrates with a wide range of cargo and shipping carriers so you can manage all your shipments from a single panel. Whether you ship through a marketplace’s contracted carrier rates or your own negotiated agreements, Pixa Lab routes orders to the right carrier, generates labels, and keeps tracking information up to date across all your channels.

​
Marketplace-Contracted Carriers

Marketplace-contracted carriers are shipping companies whose rates are negotiated directly by the marketplace on your behalf. When you fulfil an order from a marketplace that has a contracted carrier agreement, Pixa Lab uses those rates automatically — no separate carrier account is required.

​
Custom-Contracted Carriers (3PL)

Custom-contracted carriers are 3PL providers with whom you have a direct fulfilment agreement. Pixa Lab forwards orders to these providers and syncs tracking and stock data back to your channels automatically.

Configuring a Cargo Integration

1

Open Cargo Integrations

Go to Integrations in the Pixa Lab sidebar and select Cargo.
2

Select Your Carrier

Find the carrier you want to configure and click Connect.
3

Enter Your Account Credentials

Input your carrier account number, API key, or customer code. For marketplace-contracted carriers, Pixa Lab may retrieve credentials directly from your connected marketplace — follow the on-screen instructions.
4

Set Default Preferences

Choose the carrier as a default for specific channels or order types (for example, international orders vs. domestic). You can assign different carriers to different marketplaces or product categories.
5

Test the Connection

Click Test Connection to verify that Pixa Lab can communicate with your carrier’s API. Once the test passes, the integration is active and ready to use.
6

Print Labels and Track Shipments

When you fulfil an order in Pixa Lab, the system generates a shipping label using your configured carrier. Tracking numbers are sent back to the originating marketplace or e-commerce platform automatically.
Enable automatic carrier selection in your cargo settings to let Pixa Lab choose the most cost-effective carrier for each order based on destination, weight, and your contracted rates. This can significantly reduce your average shipping cost without any manual effort.
