Sender name...The name that should appear on the emails being set. Can be the company name.
Sender email...The return email address of the sender. Some services providers require a valid sender email address, as an anti-spam control.

Shipping Integration
BBL offers the optional capability to interface directly with the UPS & Federal Express carrier's computer systems. This interface requires the installation of the Shiprush Fedex & UPS software modules. The account numbers assigned to the shop/company by the Shipper (Fedex or UPS) and the Shiprush license code numbers must be entered here for this software module to properly operate.
The Shiprush software must be installed and setup on the shipping station that is also running the ProfitSystem software. The Shiprush software must be running and visible within the computers task tray. ProfitSystem will talk directly to the Shiprush software when shipments are processed via the ProfitSystem shipping module. Once the optional Shiprush software module is purchased (two separate modules, one for Fedex & one for UPS) you will be provided a license code and serial number for each. Install the Shiprush software, during which it will prompt for the serial number.
Once install enter it's license code number here. Start the Shiprush software module, (Fedex or UPS) on the computer were the actual shipping will be performed and configure the software via it's setup menu. Restart ProfitSystem and attempt to process a shipment. When all are properly configured the Shiprush system will display a shipping record (requests address, weight, service ..etc) when ProfitSystem is processing a shipment via the ProfitSystem Shipping module. The Shiprush software requires an annual renewal. This entitles the user to available Shiprush updates which includes carrier shipping rate modifications.
Your company must have a valid shipper's account number with UPS and/or Federal Express to ship packages. Please contact those companies directly to sign up for account numbers.
Note
Remember to close the daily shipments via Shiprush's own management console, accessible via right clicking the Shiprush program in your computer's task tray.
UPS Shipper number...Company's account number with UPS.
Fedx Shipper number... Company's account number with Federal Express.
UPS Shiprush serial number...Serial/Code number for Shiprush UPS software.
Fedx Shiprush serial number... Serial/Code number for Shiprush Fedx software.
Prompt for declared value checkbox...The Shipping module will prompt for the shipment's declared value when the SHIP button is clicked. The value will default to the value entered within the optional Ship Rush module.
Third party package insurance is available at a significant rate savings over the carrier's insurance offering. The operator should not enter a declared value with the optional ShipRush software when third party insurance is utilized. This is because the carrier (UPS or Fedex) will automatically bill for the insurance when entered into the ShipRush module. However, a value must be entered when prompted by ProfitSystem. This value will print on the ProfitSystem shipping report which would be provided to the third party insurance company for computing a premium payment.
Hint: The company should not use the ShipRush multi shipment feature when sending multiple packages to the same destination and using third party insurance. Each package must have a individual shipment entry within ProfitSystem. This allows each shipment to have a separate tracking number and declared value within ProfitSystem which satisfies the Third Party Insurance reporting requirements.
