Get compliant service options
Send origin, destination, packages, dimensions, weight, service constraints, account context, and special services to eligible adapters.
Carrier and parcel integration
Keep rate, label, tracking, void, and evidence on one shipment.
Available with configuration
XMS Cloud exposes one carrier contract for rate shopping, label generation, label void, and tracking. Each carrier account, service, region, credential, format, and failure path still requires qualification.
Canonical carrier contract
One orchestration shape; vendor-specific capability remains visible.
Generate a shipment artifact
Retain carrier, service, tracking number, label format, source transaction, client price, receipt, and transition evidence.
Cancel without erasing history
Carrier void result, reason, original purchase, provider refund, and reconciliation remain separate business states.
Normalize shipment status
Carrier events are correlated to canonical shipment, package, milestone, confidence, exception, and proof context.
Cataloged adapters
Configuration status does not mean every service is qualified.
The connector catalog binds each name to a concrete adapter and test suite.

Qualification unit: carrier + account + region + service code + package type + label format + special service + adapter build. A different combination is a different scope.
Operational and security boundaries
Buying the label and printing it are different authorities.
Client and carrier context
Carrier id, client id, account number, service allowlist, base URL, and credential reference are resolved for the transaction.
Exact client sell price
Merchant quotes preserve client-visible service, surcharge, tax, total, expiry, proof, and allowed funding without exposing buy cost.
Warehouse-local printing
The backend authorizes the label artifact; the bound station or handheld validates the printer profile, sends locally, and reports acknowledgement.
Client shipping
Confirm the exact amount before purchase.
Shipment facts, immutable quote, funding readiness, price lines, and label evidence remain visible in the client workspace.
- One idempotency key per purchase intent.
- Reprint does not repurchase.
- Void and refund remain explicit reconciliation paths.
Carrier compatibility review
Bring the accounts, lanes, services, packages, labels, and exception cases.
Qualify live rate, purchase, print, track, void, retry, and reconciliation behavior for each proposed carrier scope.
