Freight Calculation and Hongkong Post Rate Table
After a merchant activates the Logistics Automation service, if a customer selects the relevant delivery methods (e.g. S.F. Express) when placing an order, the system will first reserve credits according to the presumed amount, and then deduct the credits according to the actual shipping expenses at the beginning of each month.

For example, on 1st January, Merchant A’s customer completes the order and selects “ZTO Express” for delivery; Merchant A sets $30 credits per order, and the system will reserve $30 credits in the account. At the beginning of February, the system verifies the actual amount of shipping expense as $36, so $36 is deducted from Merchant A’s account.

How much money should I add to cover my expenses?
Since every merchant’s business and shipping operation varies, we recommend using your last month’s shipping expenses as a reference.
Merchants can pay attention to the notifications. When the account balance is insufficient, the system will remind you that the balance is insufficient, thus you will not be able to generate a ShipAny WayBill. Please top-up immediately and download the WayBill from the web version back-end management system.
In addition, Boutir also advises merchants to:
Review your credit balance every week and make adjustments!
Top-up 10-30% extra credits before a holiday or event to prepare for promotional items!
If there are not enough credits, will my WayBill be invalidated?
No. If there are insufficient credits, the account will not be able to directly download WayBill from the back-end management system. Once the credits are replenished, the merchant will be able to download WayBill from the back-end management system.
How to re-download the WayBill after topping up?
