Your store can be integrated with the main shipping carriers in order to provide your customers with real-time shipping calculations for their orders. This guide will show you how to set up your account registrations with USPS and then integrate your credentials to your Power-eCommerce store.

Note:
When registering with USPS, you will initially be placed on a Test API server on their system. In order to use USPS on your Power-eCommerce store you will need to have USPS move you to a Production API server. More information on this can be found below.

Register with USPS

To register your USPS account, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to the USPS Web Tools Registration form located here.
  2. Fill out the form as required

 

 

Once you have registered and have been moved to the Production API servers for USPS Web Tools, proceed with the following steps to integrate them into your Power-eCommerce Store.

 

  1. Log into your Power-eCommerce Admin
  2. Using the left hand navigation menu, go to Settings -> Shipping Manager
  3. Select to make USPS : Active
  4. Enter your "USPS User ID"  credentials in the provided field.
  5. Click "Save Changes" 

You are done integrating your Store to USPS and can now use Real-Time Shipping Calculation for USPS shipping methods.
