Shopify / API Connection Instructions for R+L Carriers

1. Enable your R+L account to accept external rate requests.
2. Connect the application to the R+L Carrier’s web service.

You must have an R+L Carriers account number to use this app. If you don’t have one, contact R+L Carriers at 800-543-5589.

Your R+L Carriers account must be enabled to accept external rate requests for the R+L LTL Freight Quotes app to work. To enable your account, you must have a MyRLC Username & Password. If you don’t, click here to access a form to request them.

To enable your account to accept external rate requests, sign into R+L Carriers and navigate to Resources > API Overview. Scroll down to the Ready to Get Started? section located at the bottom of the page, and click on the Access API Key button.

You may be prompted to complete a form titled, Update API Tool Contacts. If so, complete the form and click the Save button to continue.

At the conclusion of the process you’ll be presented with a page that contains your API Key.

Copy the API Key so you have it to enable the app’s connection to your R+L account.

The Connection Settings page is used to establish the app’s connection to the carrier’s web services. Enter the information prompted for, then click Save Settings. After the settings have been saved, click the Test Connection button. You’ll see a success message if the app was able to establish a connection with the carrier’s servers. If the test failed, something about your connection settings information is incorrect. Make the necessary corrections and try again. After you establish a successful connection, return to the User’s Guide for the app.
