# Setting up Passport in PDQ

Connect Passport’s international shipping rates to your PDQ checkout

November 5, 2025

## Step 1: Add Passport as a delivery service

1. In your PDQ dashboard, go to **Settings → Delivery Services**.

2. Click **Add delivery service**.

3. Choose **Passport** from the list of available carriers.

4. Fill in the following fields:

|     |     |
| --- | --- |
| **Field** | **Description** |
| **Display name** | The internal name for this carrier in PDQ (e.g. _Passport DDP Rates_) |
| **Company name** | Your company name exactly as it appears in Passport |
| **API Key** | The API key for Passport’s `/cart` endpoint (provided by Passport) |

🧩 _Note:_ The API key is specific to your merchant account and should be shared directly by the Passport team. PDQ’s internal team will then add it securely to your profile in the Dashboard.

## Step 2: Select your Passport carriers

Once you’ve entered your details, you’ll see a list of available Passport services.

You can enable or disable any combination of these options:

- ✅ **Passport Priority Duties and Taxes Paid (DDP)**
- ✅ **Passport Priority Duties and Taxes Unpaid (DDU)**
- ✅ **Passport Expedited Duties and Taxes Paid (DDP)**
- ✅ **Passport Expedited Duties and Taxes Unpaid (DDU)**

You can toggle individual service types based on which ones you want to display in checkout.

## Step 3: Save and review

Click **Add delivery service** to save your configuration.

You’ll see Passport appear in your Delivery Services list, ready to be used in any shipping method or A/B test.

From here, PDQ will automatically fetch live international rates from Passport’s `rate` endpoint and display them in checkout.

## Step 4: QA and testing (handled by PDQ)

Once setup is complete:

- The **PDQ team** will perform QA to verify live rate responses and confirm DDP/DDU accuracy.
- If needed, PDQ and Passport will join a short call with your team to review testing strategy, rate visibility, and display behavior.

## ✅ That’s it!

Your Passport rates are now live and optimized through PDQ.

Shoppers around the world will see localized, transparent shipping options- with prepaid duties, clear delivery dates, and no surprises at checkout.
