This guide explains how merchants can start using Montonio shipping services on their Shopify store through the Parcely app. The process differs slightly depending on whether you are an existing Parcely user or are new to the app.
Set up Shipping Carriers in Montonio Partner System
Setting up carriers means that you connect specific carriers with Montonio so that we can create shipments and labels to the correct accounts.
1. Log in to the Montonio Partner System.
2. Go to the Home page from the left-hand menu --> Choose the store from the drop-down menu.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click Activate near Shipping.
4. Activate needed carriers.
Shipping by Montonio
You can use Shipping with Montonio special prices without signing any additional contracts.
How does it work?
When opting for this version, you will no longer have a signed contract with a shipping carrier to handle your packages. Montonio offers quick activation, pricing, sends you the invoice, and helps with all parcel-related issues, while the shipping carrier still delivers the packages.
If you already have an existing contract with a carrier (e.g. DPD), you can activate this contract in our Partner System as well. Read more here.
Existing Parcely Users (New to Montonio)
If you are already using the Parcely app on Shopify, but have not yet configured Montonio shipping, you need to add Montonio API keys to the Parcely app.
How to activate Montonio Shipping if you are already using the Parcely app?
Go to the General Settings in the Parcely app on Shopify side.
Scroll until the bottom of the page, add Montonio API Keys and click Sync Montonio. Read more: How to find Live API Keys in the Partner System?
New Parcely Users (Wanting Montonio Shipping)
If you were not using Parcely app previously, but want to leverage Montonio Shipping on your Shopify store, an initial integration has to be performed by the Parcely support team.

Label printing in Shopify
When printing labels on Shopify side, then you can print only one label per page using Parcely app.
But if you want to print 4, 6, 8 labels per page, then you can do it from Montonio Partner System. Learn more here: Printing shipping labels in the Montonio Partner System
