Whether you want to use OTO’s discounted carrier rates, connect your own carrier contracts, manage multiple sales channels, or automate fulfillment, there’s a plan and set of modules to match your needs.

Troubleshooting tips

1- Can’t activate a module:

  - Check if the module is included in your plan (see Modules by plan).

  - If it’s plan‑specific, upgrade your plan or contact your account manager (Scale/Enterprise).

2- Reached a limit (users, channels, carriers):

  - Review your plan limits. Consider upgrading to increase limits.

3- Unexpected per‑shipment charges:

  - Verify if you exceeded your plan’s free shipment quota for your own contracts.

  - Check which rates you used (OTO discounted vs. your own contract).

4- Missing notification options:

  - SMS is available on Starter; Email & WhatsApp on Scale. Ensure the correct plan is active and the module is enabled.

5- COD transfer timing:

  - Confirm your plan’s COD schedule. For Enterprise, refer to your contract terms.
