Introduction
This guide explains how to configure shipping methods in TRAEDE for B2B shipments sent to Ongoing WMS. This setup is required for TRAEDE to successfully transmit shipment data to Ongoing.
⚠️ Note: This setup only applies to B2B orders. For B2C, please refer to the B2C shipping method setup guide.
1. Go to Shipping Method Settings
Navigate to App Store → Shipments → Shipping Methods
Click Add Shipping Method
2. Create a Shipping Method
Example: Let’s set up GLS Company Delivery
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | GLS Company Delivery |
| Code Type |
Ongoing ✅ Important!
|
| Code | (Must match Ongoing system, e.g. gls_company) |
| Carrier | Select the appropriate carrier (optional) |
| Active | ✅ Check to activate |
🔄 Make sure the code matches exactly with what your 3PL or Ongoing has set up in their system. If unsure, request a list of valid codes from your 3PL.
3. Select Applicable Order Types
Choose the regions where this shipping method applies:
Domestic – Your local country
EU – Countries in the European Union
Europe – Countries in Europe but outside the EU (e.g., Norway, Switzerland)
Abroad – Countries outside Europe
For example:
GLS Company Delivery → Domestic + EU
UPS Express → Europe + Abroad
4. Save Your Shipping Method
Repeat the steps above to create all your necessary shipping methods.
Step-by-Step: Set Default Shipping Method Rules
1. Go to Shipping Method Rules
In TRAEDE settings, go to the Shipping Method Rules section.
2. Add Four Rules (One Per Region)
For each of the following combinations, set the default shipping method for B2B:
| Region | Order Type | Default Shipping Method |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic | B2B | GLS Company Delivery |
| EU | B2B | GLS Company Delivery |
| Europe | B2B | UPS Express |
| Abroad | B2B | UPS Express |
📝 You can always override the default on individual shipments.
3. Save Your Rules
Click Save to activate your default rules.
Additional Tips
Deactivate Old Methods: If a shipping method was created without the
Ongoingcode type, edit and deactivate it (you can’t delete used methods).Always Use “Ongoing” Code Type: If the code type is missing or incorrect, shipments won’t be sent to Ongoing.
Double-Check Codes: Consistency with Ongoing’s codes is essential for integration to work correctly.
