EasyPost Setup

By default, PostalPoint uses EasyPost to connect to shipping carriers. You'll need an EasyPost account with a payment method on file.

Once you have an EasyPost account, it's time to connect it to PostalPoint. Log in to EasyPost and go to your account settings, or click here, and create an API key.

Once you have an EasyPost API key generated, copy it into PostalPoint in Settings → Shipping → EasyPost → API Key. PostalPoint is now linked to EasyPost and can purchase and print postage and shipping labels!

EasyPost Wallet accounts

EasyPost, by default, provides discounted shipping accounts to their customers. However, these accounts don't typically allow reselling or marking up their rates. As a result, and to protect your business, PostalPoint won't normally allow you to see or use these rates. Instead, on the Rates tab, you'll see a warning such as "Hid 2 rates from carrier accounts that don't allow resale."

Enabling wallet accounts in PostalPoint

If you are 100% sure you want to use these rates, such as if you're an office user and not reselling to customers, you can force-enable them. There are two ways to do this.

1. Copy your EasyPost carrier account IDs into the PostalPoint settings. These account IDs start with ca_ followed by a lot of numbers and letters, and can be found in your EasyPost account under Account Settings -> Carriers. Copy them into Carrier Account IDs on the Shipping tab of PostalPoint's settings screen.

2. Alternatively, you can enable EasyPost wallet accounts in PostalPoint by going to System Menu > Settings and Configuration > Advanced > Manual Configuration, entering the key value easypost_allow_wallet_billing and the value 1 and clicking "Set".
