# Quick Start

> Set up the FEMA integration and start creating shipments in minutes.

## Step 1: FEMA credentials

Go to **Apps** > **FEMA** > **Settings** and open the **FEMA Credentials** tab.

1. Enter your FEMA **username** and **password**.
2. Click **Save**.

The badge changes from "Not configured" to "Configured" once credentials are saved.

<Note>
  If you don't have FEMA credentials yet, contact FEMA at [fema.pt](https://www.fema.pt) to get access.
</Note>

## Step 2: Sender address

Open the **Sender address** tab.

1. Fill in the name/company, address, city, postal code, and contact details.
2. Click **Save**.

This address appears on all shipping labels as the sender.

## Step 3: Shipping mapping

Open the **Shipping mapping** tab.

Map each Shopify shipping method to the corresponding FEMA service. The app uses this mapping to determine which type of shipment to create for each order.

</Frame>

<Tip>
  If you have multiple Shopify shipping methods (e.g. standard, express), create a mapping for each one.
</Tip>

## Step 4: Packages

Open the **Packages** tab.

Create templates for the boxes you regularly use. When creating a shipment, simply select the package instead of filling in dimensions and weight manually.
