EasyPost Integration

Connect EasyPost to purchase postage, print carrier labels, and streamline your order fulfillment.

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.

Tip

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

1. Create your EasyPost account

If you don’t already have an EasyPost account, create one for free at easypost.com. After signing up, you may need to contact EasyPost Support to activate your account before it can be used.

2. Generate your API key

Once your account is active, go to Account Settings → API Keys and find your Production API key — EasyPost API Keys.

Caution

Use your Production key, not the Test key, for live orders. If you don’t see the API Keys section at all, your account is still on hold — contact EasyPost Support to activate it.

3. Fund your EasyPost account

Before you can purchase labels, add funds to your EasyPost wallet — pick a payment method and funding frequency at EasyPost Wallet.

ACH (bank transfer)

No extra fees. Recommended.

Debit card

Available, but carries a 3.75% processing fee.

Caution

If One Time Funding shows an error, email EasyPost Support to request access — it may need to be enabled on your account.

4. Connect EasyPost to TCGTracking

Head to your TCGTracking dashboard and open the Integrations settings.

1. Find EasyPost in the Available Integrations list and click the settings icon next to it.

2. Paste your Production API key into the first field in the Configure EasyPost Integration dialog.

3. Paste your Test API key into the second field.

4. Click Update. Once connected, the status shows as Active in Production mode.

Troubleshooting

API key not working

Double-check that you copied the full Production API key with no extra spaces, and that you’re not using the Test key.

API Keys section not visible in EasyPost

Your account is on hold. Contact EasyPost Support to activate it before continuing.

Error when using one-time funding

One-time funding requires manual activation by EasyPost. Email their support team to request access.

Labels not generating after connecting

Make sure your EasyPost wallet has sufficient funds and your shipping details are fully set up.
