# Connect agreement

> Connect GLS to your Smart Send account.

## Connect agreement

To connect your Smart Send account with GLS, you need an active GLS shipping agreement. GLS has launched a new IT system called **Click\&Ship** which is meant to replace their older system **YourGLS**.

We currently integrate with YourGLS and all GLS customers can get a YourGLS account for free. This is the account you will use to connect GLS to Smart Send.

To connect GLS, start by logging into the <Link href="https://app.smartsend.io">Smart Send platform</Link> <Icon icon="arrow-up-right" size={12} />.

  <Step title="Connect GLS">
    Next to *GLS* click the **Connect** button
