Integration with Ekart Shipping

We are integrated with shipping provider – Ekart shipping.

Ekart shipping is solely to ship small shipments via Ekart supply chain.

For Large shipment Ekart has a separate supply chain, called Ekart Large. For Ekart Large, UC is already integrated ref: Integration with Ekart Large Shipping.

If a seller opts for both services for Large & Small, they need to create two separate merchant accounts in eKart. Consequently , it is required to add two different shipping providers in UC that might possess distinct credentials for Large and Non-Large supply chains, even if managed by the same seller.
