Shipment manifests and End of Day documents are generated as PDF files that can be printed along with shipping labels. Because these documents are not electronically submitted, physical copies must be provided to the carrier.

You can connect this carrier integration to ShipEngine multiple times using different account information, and choose which account will be used to create each shipment.
