Carrier Masking for Dropshippers

Overview

Carrier masking helps dropshippers utilizing carriers from China or Asia to hide carrier information completely or override it with another carrier of your choice.

Hiding or overriding China carriers

The most common case is that you either want to hide or replace your China carrier. To do that, go over to your shipments page to see your most used carriers. In the screenshot below, we can see that we have lots of SFExpres and YunExpress, so we will target those carriers in the rules.

Use cases

The two use cases are:

Hiding carrier
Overriding carrier

Let’s go over the first case:
