Connect the application to Day & Ross’s API/web service


Note:
Day & Ross cutover to its new RESTful API on March 9, 2026. On the same day, it deprecated its SOAP APIs. All connections to Day & Ross’s APIs must now be made through the RESTful API, which requires a unique set of API credentials. Those previously connecting through Day & Ross’s SOAP APIs need to obtain new credentials for the RESTful API, and re-establish the connection.

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 API credentials which must be obtained directly from Day & Ross. If you don’t already have them, email mydayross@dayandrossinc.ca to request them. Be sure to identify your account number and account name in the email and state that you “need credentials for the Day & Ross API in order to retrieve LTL rate estimates for your eCommerce storefront.” Allow 2 business days for a response.

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.)

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.
