Convey allows customers (Shipment Owner) to provide visibility of shipments in their account to outside visibility partners (Shipment Partner). The most common use-case is to provide visibility of shipments to a Channel Partner.

How are shipments shared? 

• Partner’s must have a separate account in Convey. If one does not exist, Convey will setup the account and manage the relationship to the Partner account. 
• Shipments will be mapped to the partner at the account level. Changes to existing integrations may be required. 
• Multiple partner codes can map to a single partner account. Partner codes must be sent to Convey on a per shipment level, but there can only be one code on each shipment.
  For example 567890 and 789089 are mapped to Partner A, but the individual shipment can only have 567890 as a partner code. 
• Shipments may only be shared by the Shipment Owner. A Shipment Partner may not re-share shipments with other accounts.
