Introduction
This guide explains how to create shipping methods for B2B orders in TRAEDE. If you're looking to create shipping methods for B2C orders, there’s a separate guide for that—but we recommend starting here, as many of the same concepts apply to both.
Where to find your shipping methods
Go to App Store → Shipments.
Click the Shipping methods tab at the top.
Here you'll see a list of your existing shipping methods.
How to create a new B2B shipping method
Click Add shipping method in the top-right corner.
Fill out the fields:
🏷 Label
Enter the name of the shipping method (e.g. DHL Express).
🚚 Carrier
Select the carrier (e.g. DHL).
This is important for enabling tracking links in TRAEDE.

⚙️ Code type
Select Manual.
Manual code type is used when:
You fulfill shipments inside TRAEDE
You do not use a connected 3PL or freight integration (like Webshipper or Coolrunner)
🆔 Code
This is an internal identifier (e.g. dhl_express). It can be anything you prefer.
✈️ Mode of transportation
Specify the transport type (e.g. Air freight).
This is used to display transport info on commercial invoices for easier customs clearance.
🌍 Availability
Select when this shipping method should be available.
Example:
✅ Domestic
✅ EU
❌ Non-EU (e.g. US, China)
Once finished, click Save.
How it works when creating a shipment
Go to an order (e.g. an order being shipped to Denmark).
Click Add shipment.
The new shipping method (e.g.
DHL Express) will appear in the list.
If it is not selected by default, it's because a shipping rule (e.g. GLS) is overriding it. You can manually select a different method.
Click DHL Express to use it.
The shipment will now appear in your Fulfillment Dashboard as a manual shipment, ready to be fulfilled inside TRAEDE.
