How it works

From a lane to a Bill of Lading in two minutes.

The same three steps whether you start from a Shopify order or from a blank quote form.

The three steps

  1. 01

    Enter the shipment

    Origin, destination, and the handling units: dimensions, weight, and whether either end is residential. The pickup calendar only offers dates the carrier can collect: weekends and federal holidays are closed, and the earliest slot is the next business day.

    In Shopify: pre-filled from the order. In the portal: pick a saved ship-from and search your catalog. A multi-box model adds one line per box.

    The route step of the ShipEasy quote form: a saved ship-from warehouse, a pickup date, commercial or residential pickup type, and the delivery side with a saved location, ZIP and state.
    The route step in the portal. Example data.
  2. 02

    Compare every carrier at once

    We fan out to CEVA, Alliance, and AIT in parallel and rank what comes back cheapest first, by service level: curbside, room of choice, or white glove. Each price is all-in.

    Transit is made comparable first: where a carrier quotes a range, we show its slowest day.

    One lane priced across three carriers in the ShipEasy portal, ranked cheapest first, each row showing the service level, transit time, all-in price and a Book button.
    What comes back, ranked on the all-in price. Example data.
  3. 03

    Book it and track it

    We tender the freight and the carrier issues its own Bill of Lading and PRO number. After that the status refreshes from the carrier every few minutes, exceptions are flagged, and your customer can be notified.

    In Shopify: approve the charge in Shopify’s billing prompt; the PRO writes back to the order. In the portal: pay by card and the BOL is issued straight away.

    The shipments table in the ShipEasy portal, each row showing its booking number, carrier and service, lane, pickup date, PRO number, status and the all-in price paid.
    Every booking on one line, with the status refreshed from the carrier. Example data.
What you get

What a booking produces.

  • The carrier’s Bill of Lading

    The real document the driver expects, issued by the carrier and downloadable from the shipment.

  • A PRO number

    The carrier’s own tracking number, which their phone line and website will recognize.

  • A tracking link that stays yours

    Forwardable, no login, showing PRO, carrier, status and dates. It never mentions ShipEasy, so you stay the brand on the page your customer opens.

Two ways in

Where the two rails differ.

What changes is where you start and how you pay.

Shopify app

Starts from an order.

The address, line items and warehouse come from the Shopify order. You approve a one-time charge in Shopify’s own billing prompt, and the PRO number, tracking URL and fulfillment write back to the order timeline.

Free to install. No card, no carrier accounts.

Freight portal

Starts from a blank form.

For quoting with a customer in front of you and no order to work from. Saved ship-from locations, a shared SKU catalog, and payment by card — with the option to save it for the next booking.

A person reviews the request before the account opens.

The two accounts are separate, with separate sign-ins.
