[Achieve More with ShipSmart](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/achieve-more-with-shipsmart?hsLang=en) February 16, 2026 # What Is the Association Code? The Association Code allows you to centrally manage your company's shipments and grant platform access to different team members. When creating an account [for your business](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/create-your-shipsmart-account-for-my-business?hsLang=en) or [to be a partner](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/create-your-shipsmart-account-i-want-to-be-a-partner?hsLang=en), **you will only need to add the Association Code if you receive it from a manager or main account.** ### **How does it work?** 1. **Main Account:** A [main account is created on ShipSmart](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/create-your-shipsmart-account-for-me?hsLang=en), either as a [partner account](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/create-your-shipsmart-account-i-want-to-be-a-partner?hsLang=en) or [for your business](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/create-your-shipsmart-account-for-my-business?hsLang=en). This account will have administrative control over shipments on the platform. 2. **Assigning the Association Code:** The main account generates an Association Code. This code is distributed to team members who need access to ShipSmart. 3. **User Association:** During registration, team members enter the Association Code provided by the main account. This automatically links their individual accounts to the main account. 4. **Access and Management:** Once associated, the main account will be able to access resources and data related to the shipments of the associated accounts. ### **How to access my Association Code?** If you have a manager account or a main account, you will find your Association Code by clicking on the lamp icon in the top right corner of your screen, then go to **"Profile (Account)"**. ![](https://likeable-tungsten-8fd.notion.site/image/https%3A%2F%2Fprod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F96b737a4-662e-47fd-bb4b-45bb47a994ae%2F44b26b90-59a5-4adb-aff9-052bb5cf12d5%2Fb1b2230c-dc9b-49b7-b1a8-4fcb70dd6f88.png?table=block&id=03183ae2-e559-49cb-a82c-5e5d83ee4e24&spaceId=96b737a4-662e-47fd-bb4b-45bb47a994ae&width=2000&userId=&cache=v2)![](https://prod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/96b737a4-662e-47fd-bb4b-45bb47a994ae/44b26b90-59a5-4adb-aff9-052bb5cf12d5/b1b2230c-dc9b-49b7-b1a8-4fcb70dd6f88.png) Once there, you will be able to see your profile details, including your Association Code. ![](https://likeable-tungsten-8fd.notion.site/image/https%3A%2F%2Fprod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F96b737a4-662e-47fd-bb4b-45bb47a994ae%2F3d13d9e9-538e-45cb-9c85-54e27616cff3%2FUntitled.png?table=block&id=31620f78-09d3-4729-ba3d-d5001c232ccc&spaceId=96b737a4-662e-47fd-bb4b-45bb47a994ae&width=2000&userId=&cache=v2)![](https://prod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/96b737a4-662e-47fd-bb4b-45bb47a994ae/3d13d9e9-538e-45cb-9c85-54e27616cff3/Untitled.png) ### **Recommended Articles:** - [How to make your shipment](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/how-to-create-a-shipment?hsLang=en) - [Optimize your shipments](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/optimize-your-shipments?hsLang=en) - [Welcome to ShipSmart](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/welcome-to-shipsmart?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Create Your ShipSmart Account](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/welcome-to-shipsmart?hsLang=en#create-your-shipsmart-account) - [First Steps](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/first-steps?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How to Create a Shipment](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/first-steps?hsLang=en#how-to-create-a-shipment) - [Print Your Shipment Documentation](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/first-steps?hsLang=en#print-your-shipment-documentation) - [Achieve More with ShipSmart](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/achieve-more-with-shipsmart?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Configure the Invoice](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/achieve-more-with-shipsmart?hsLang=en#configure-the-invoice) - [Configure Your Preferences](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/achieve-more-with-shipsmart?hsLang=en#configure-your-preferences) - [Channels and Campaigns](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/achieve-more-with-shipsmart?hsLang=en#channels-and-campaigns) - [Tax Guide](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/tax-guide?hsLang=en) - [Integrations Manual](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/integrations-manual?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Bling](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/integrations-manual?hsLang=en#bling) - [Magento](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/integrations-manual?hsLang=en#magento) - [Shopify](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/integrations-manual?hsLang=en#shopify) - [WooCommerce](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/integrations-manual?hsLang=en#woocommerce) - [Nuvem Shop](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/integrations-manual?hsLang=en#nuvem-shop) - [Vnda](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/integrations-manual?hsLang=en#vnda) - [VTEX](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/integrations-manual?hsLang=en#vtex) - [Shipping management](https://help.shipsmart.global/en/knowledge-base/shipping-management?hsLang=en) [![logo\_shipsmart\_2024 branco](https://help.shipsmart.global/hubfs/logo_shipsmart_2024%20branco.svg "logo_shipsmart_2024 branco")](https://shipsmart.global/pt/) Copyright © 2026, ShipSmart Global
