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 ShipStation.
Our integration allows your order information to flow seamlessly from Acenda to your ShipStation account, where you can then purchase and print your compliant labels using ShipStation's Third-Party Billing method.
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 ShipStation Account. Next, you will need an account with ShipStation, the service that will connect to Acenda.
Open your web browser and go to ShipStation.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 Acenda to your ShipStation Account. Once your ShipStation account is active, you need to link it with your Acenda account.
Log in to your Acenda Admin Tool.
Open a Service Ticket requesting ShipStation integration.
Step 4: Enable Third-Party Billing in Your ShipStation Account. The final step is to configure ShipStation to use Target's billing solution.
Log in to your ShipStation Account.
Connect ShipStation to Target's Buy Shipping Third-Party Billing solution.
What is the cost? There is no additional fee from Acenda for integrating ShipStation with your account. Please note that you will be responsible for any service fees or costs associated with your ShipStation account, which are billed separately by ShipStation.
Future Updates on Shipping Integrations: We are actively monitoring the shipping landscape. We expect that other popular platforms, such as Shippo, Veeqo, and EasyShip, will support Target+ Buy Shipping in the near future. We will announce updates as more integration options become available.
