{% hint style="success" %}
If you already have an account registered, you can proceed to the next step.
{% endhint %}

Creating an account on our platform is free of charge. You can go to this [link ](https://dash.shippify.co/)and fill in your company's information, and you're all set.&#x20;

Once you've done that, you'll receive an email with more information (If not, please contact us through the chat on our website).

All Shippify accounts are created with Prepaid mode, meaning that to create your deliveries, you'll need to purchase credits in the Billing section (payment with a credit card or transfer). If you need commercial support, you can write to us through our website.

## <img src="/files/DqtsQAGbjUrB8aKh1DBz" alt="" data-size="line">Warehouse Creation&#x20;

Deliveries created in the system will always have a warehouse as a collection point, which you must create by entering this [link](https://dash.shippify.co/places). You must fill in all the requested data and save the identifier to use in the next step.

The next step is to configure the integration with your VTEX account. To do this, you have to access [the settings section in the dash](https://dash.beta.shippify.co/settings/sections/deliveries/creation/methods) and here select VTEX as the creation method and proceed to fill in the requested data.

* **Delivery Type:** This is the type of delivery that will be created within Shippify.&#x20;
* **Storage:** In this field you can search for the warehouse you created in step 2.&#x20;
* **Statuses:** In this list you can include the statuses which you want VTEX to be notified of when they occur.

You will now be able to head over to your Shipping Strategies dashboard and notice that a Shippify policy has been created.

<figure><img src="/files/i4yQklhZixklVK8vulNa" alt=""><figcaption><p>Policy</p></figcaption></figure>

You will need [to edit the policy](https://help.vtex.com/pt/tutorial/gerenciar-politicas-de-envio--30nynylgbWieimhaMtGTIE#editar-politica-de-envio) and attach the file where you define the rates and zipcodes to finish its configuration and change its processing status to Active. You [can access this page](https://help.vtex.com/pt/tutorial/planilha-de-frete--tutorials_127?utm_term=\&utm_campaign=BRA_pmax_2023\&utm_source=adwords\&utm_medium=ppc\&hsa_acc=9663921675\&hsa_cam=20809358286\&hsa_grp=\&hsa_ad=\&hsa_src=x\&hsa_tgt=\&hsa_kw=\&hsa_mt=\&hsa_net=adwords\&hsa_ver=3\&gad_source=1\&gclid=CjwKCAjw6c63BhAiEiwAF0EH1Nc-YyHmEW8Q-PCc6xgrc1X0vuH_5hr28j6H5EfE9jB8nME0M65TGRoCUjYQAvD_BwE) for more information on how to generate this file.

In this same section you can edit different settings such as the pickup and delivery times that will come by default among others. You can find [more information on this page](https://help.vtex.com/pt/tutorial/criar-uma-politica-de-envio--66rJO4LKBdyMJOH6Z3dsaT).

Once active, you can attach it to the Dock of your choice, if you don't have one you can create it by [following these steps](https://help.vtex.com/en/tutorial/gerenciar-doca--7K3FultD8I2cuuA6iyGEiW).&#x20;

Now you will be able to see the option in the checkout!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shippify.co/developers/en/e-commerce/vtex/steps-to-integrate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
