Connect the application to Day & Ross’s API/web service
The Connection Settings page is used to establish the app’s connection to the carrier’s web services.
To successfully connect the app to Day & Ross API, you need your Day & Ross account number, the email address, and password you use to log into the Day & Ross website. If you need to get quotes for shipments from Canada to the USA, you will also need the account number that Day & Ross will issue specifically for this purpose.
Locate the Day & Ross integration in the list of the app’s All Providers. Click on the Add account link. (If you already added Day & Ross to your list of enabled providers, locate it in your Installed Providers list and click the Connection Settings link.)
Enter the information prompted for on the Connect Provider page. Afterward, click the Save Settings button and then 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.
