Select your e-commerce platform to proceed with the specific integration instructions. The process involves installing apps or plugins and configuring them with your Easypost API key.
Shopify Integration
Install a shipping rates app from the Shopify App Store, such as 'ShipperHQ', 'Advanced Shipping Rules', or 'Bespoke Shipping'. Configure the app by entering your Easypost API key and setting up shipping carriers. Test the setup by adding products to your cart and checking for live rates at checkout. Note that Shopify requires the 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' feature, available on the Advanced plan or as an add-on.

Platforms like BigCommerce and Magento have their own marketplaces where you can search for Easypost-compatible shipping rate plugins or modules. The setup process typically involves installing the plugin/module, entering your Easypost API key, configuring carriers, and testing the integration.
Connect Carrier Accounts
To take advantage of negotiated rates with carriers like FedEx, UPS, or DHL, connect your accounts directly in the Easypost dashboard. This ensures that the rates displayed to your customers reflect any discounts or special terms you have with the carriers.
Troubleshooting
If live rates are not appearing, verify that your API key is correct, the plugin/app is up to date, and your store's shipping settings are configured properly. For further assistance, consult the Easypost website or contact their support team for detailed troubleshooting.
