Overview

EasyPost is a shipping API that powers TCGTracking's label purchasing and e-postage features. Once connected, you can buy USPS e-stamps and Ground Advantage carrier labels without ever leaving your TCGTracking dashboard.

This integration is only required if you want to purchase postage through TCGTracking. Free USPS Informed Visibility tracking works without EasyPost.
