Question:
Is Acenda integrated with Target+ Buy Shipping? I need to print shipping labels for my Target+ orders.
Answer:
While Acenda does not print shipping labels directly, you can fully manage your Target+ Buy Shipping needs by using our integration with Shippo.
Shippo is an officially approved Target+ Buy Shipping partner. Our integration allows your order information to flow seamlessly from Acenda to your Shippo account, where you can then purchase and print your compliant labels.
How to Get Started:
To enable Target+ Buy Shipping, please follow these four steps:
Step 1: Request Access to Target+ Buy Shipping Program
The first step is to obtain access to the required program from Target+.
Log in to your Target+ Partner account.
Navigate to the support or help section.
Open a new support ticket.
In the ticket description, write a clear request to gain access to the "Target+ Buy Shipping program."
Submit the ticket and wait for confirmation from the Target+ team that access has been granted.
Step 2: Create Your Shippo Account
Next, you'll need an account with Shippo, the service that will connect Target+ to Acenda.
Open your web browser and go to goshippo.com.
Click the "Sign Up" button, typically located in the top-right corner of the homepage.
Fill out the required information to create your new account (e.g., email, password, name).
Complete the registration process.
Step 3: Connect Target+ to Your Shippo Account
Once your Shippo account is active, you need to link it with your Target+ Buy Shipping program.
Log in to your newly created Shippo account.
Navigate to the "Carriers" or "Integrations" section of your Shippo dashboard.
Look for the option to add a new carrier or connect a marketplace.
Select Target+ from the list of available integrations.
Follow the on-screen prompts to authorize the connection. You will likely need your Target+ account credentials.
Need help? If you encounter any issues during this step, Shippo's support team is available to assist you. You can reach out to them directly through the help section of their website.
Step 4: Enable Shippo in Your Acenda Account
The final step is to have the integration activated on the Acenda side.
Log in to your Acenda account.
Go to the floating Intercom support button.
Request that the Shippo integration be enabled for your account.
The Acenda support team will handle the final configuration and will notify you once the setup is complete.
Once Acenda support confirms that Shippo is enabled, you will be ready to manage your Target+ shipping through the Acenda platform. We recommend testing before proceeding with live orders.
What is the cost?
There is no additional fee from Acenda for integrating Shippo with your account.
Please note that you will be responsible for any service fees or costs associated with your Shippo account, which are billed separately by Shippo.
Future Updates on Shipping Integrations
We are actively monitoring the shipping landscape. We expect that other popular platforms, such as ShipStation and EasyShip, will support Target+ Buy Shipping in the near future. We will announce updates as more integration options become available.
