EasyPost
EasyPost automates the selection, review, and purchase of small parcel shipping.
Easypost only works with your system if the WMS is installed.
EasyPost is integrated with the WMS and provides a single pathway to the systems of multiple carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.
The integration lets you:
- Select the best carrier based on the destination, package size, weight, type, and preferred service options.
- Review and compare shipping costs before purchase.
- Book and purchase shipping using your customer’s account.
- Print Shipping Labels
- Automatically capture shipping information, i.e. tracking number(s) and cost.
- Production API Key
- Test API Key
In the Salesorder app go to SETUP>Plugins>Plugin Store.
Locate, register, and install the EasyPost plugin.
You'll need to setup records for the commensurate list of carriers and their available shipping methods. These values are passed via the integration to the carrier's systems when you request rates.
You set up your Shipping Carrier(s) in Configuration>Shipping Carriers.
Add the name of the carrier, plus the shipping methods separated by a semi colon (;), e.g. Express;Next Day;Overnight.
