EasyPost integration: Connect

Sendle is integrated with EasyPost, a shipping API that solves complex logistics problems for eCommerce businesses. Integrating your EasyPost account with Sendle only takes a few minutes and will allow you to use Sendle as your preferred shipping partner with EasyPost. 

In this article, we’ll give you an easy-to-follow guide on how to set up your account and connect EasyPost with Sendle.

Set up your account

You need to have both an EasyPost account and a Sendle account to get started:

• Create an EasyPost account here.

If you’ve created a new Sendle account, you’ll need to do two things before you can integrate with EasyPost:

1. Click Settings in the left hand menu, then choose the Sender details tab and enter your info. Make sure you tick the Dangerous Goods declaration, and then choose Update details to save your information.
2. Click Billing in the left hand menu and add a credit card.

Now you’re ready to roll!

Once these details have been added, on the API tab you'll be able to agree to the terms and Enable API access

Next, head over to EasyPost to complete the connection:

1. In EasyPost, go to ‘Account settings’, then ‘Carriers’.
2. Click on ‘Add Carrier’ and search for Sendle.
