Install Ventoo Shipping

Ventoo Shipping is installed through Microsoft AppSource like any other extension. After installation, the pages Shipping Setup and Carrier Setup become available, along with two permission sets that can be assigned to users.

Prerequisites

  • A Business Central environment in a supported version.

  • A user role that is allowed to install extensions (for example D365 EXT. MGT. - ADMIN).

  • Optional: carrier API credentials (see Setup and configuration).

Installation from Microsoft AppSource

  1. In Business Central, open the Extension Management page.

  2. Choose Extensions > Marketplace.

  3. In the search field, type Ventoo Shipping and open the matching result.

  4. Choose Install, accept the terms of use, and follow the installation wizard.

  5. Wait for Business Central to confirm the installation. In a cloud environment, deployment is performed automatically in the background.

After a successful installation, the search (Tell Me) returns the following new pages:

  • Shipping Setup

  • Carrier Setup

  • Shipment Labels

  • Carrier Service Options

  • Carrier Notifications
