You can programmatically delete any carrier you have connected to your ShipStation API account using the DELETE method with the /v1/connections/carriers/ endpoint.
You may want to do this if you no longer use the services of the connected carrier account, or if you wish to use the same account but with a different carrier_id. For the latter case, you would delete the carrier from your account and then reconnect it.
- The unique
carrier_idof the connected carrier you wish to delete. - The
carrier_nameproperty for that carrier.
You can list carriers to find both the carrier_id and carrier_name properties needed. The carrier_id is especially important if you have multiple accounts for the same carrier.
IMPORTANT:
- If your carrier requires manifesting, you must manifest open shipments for that carrier before deleting the connection from your ShipStation API account.
- If you reconnect a deleted carrier account, the new connection will have a new
carrier_id.
