ShipOpsHow to connect BarqXpress to your store
To connect BarqXpress you need one thing: your BarqXpress API key, the code that lets an app like ShipOps read your BarqXpress account. BarqXpress issues it for your account on request — there is no page in the portal to copy it from. Ask your BarqXpress contact, paste it into ShipOps, and ShipOps shows the account name it belongs to.

Connecting it in ShipOps
- Install ShipOps from the Shopify App Store, or open it if you already have it. On your first visit ShipOps asks you to connect a courier; later, it lives under Settings → Couriers & store.
- Choose BarqXpress and fill in API key.
- Press Connect BarqXpress. ShipOps checks the details with BarqXpress before it saves them, so a typo shows up straight away, not a day later. When it works you see Saved — credentials confirmed.
- That's it. Your BarqXpress parcels load in the background, so there is nothing to wait for. They appear in your inbox as they arrive.
ShipOps stores your BarqXpress details encrypted and uses them only to read your own account and to do what you ask from the app: a booking, a label, a retry or return. Your rates and your contract with BarqXpress stay exactly as they are, and the COD cash still goes from BarqXpress straight to your bank.
ShipOps reads your parcels from your store's orders after you connect, and books to BarqXpress's own destination list. BarqXpress is marked In testing in ShipOps while it runs on its first stores; tell us if a status looks wrong.
If BarqXpress won't connect
ShipOps says BarqXpress did not recognise my API key.
Paste the key again exactly as BarqXpress sent it, with no spaces before or after. If it still fails, ask BarqXpress to confirm the key for your account.
The account name ShipOps shows is not mine.
The key belongs to another BarqXpress account. Disconnect, and ask BarqXpress for the key for your own account.
I connected but no parcels showed up yet.
ShipOps finds BarqXpress parcels from the tracking numbers on your store's orders, in the background after you connect. Give it a few minutes, then open the inbox again.
Booking says BarqXpress needs a city from its list.
The customer's city is not one BarqXpress delivers to, or it is spelled differently. Pick the city from the list; if it is not there, book that order with another courier.
