Using third party billing in PitneyShip, PitneyShip Pro, PitneyShip Enterprise, or ShipAccel

By default, all label costs are charged to the sender's (your) account, but you can charge a shipment's transportation costs and international duties and taxes to the recipient's or another third party's carrier account if you wish.

For domestic shipments, this feature is available for FedEx and UPS. For international shipments, it is available for FedEx, UPS, and DHL Express.

If the cost of the shipment is charged to the recipient's or third party’s account, there is no cost to the sender, so the Amount fields on your History screen will show $0.00.

1. When creating a shipping label, select FedEx, UPS, or DHL Express from the Filter By carrier menu.
2. In the Accounting & Reference section, select Edit Bill To.
   
3. For domestic shipments, choose Recipient or Third Party under Bill Shipping Costs To.
   • Enter the Carrier Account Number.
   • For Third Party, you may also need to fill in the Country and ZIP Code, depending on the carrier.
     
4. For international shipments, under both Bill Shipping Costs To and Bill Duties and Taxes To, choose Recipient or Third Party.
   • Enter the Carrier Account Number.
   • For Third Party, you may also need to fill in the Country and Postal Code, depending on the carrier.
