Build with Speed and Flexibility
Forge enables multi-carrier shipping technology to be embedded directly into products. It offers seamless end-to-end shipping solutions, best-in-class uptime, flexible end-user management, and more. Platforms can go live within weeks, establish profitable shipping services, and onboard users efficiently.
Customizable Integration Options
With Forge, you choose who pays the postage, fees and other carrier charges– either your platform or your sub accounts. Depending on the chosen implementation, Forge users will leverage a different sub account type which each have unique onboarding APIs and capabilities.
You Sub Accounts Pay
The Decentralized Plan is recommended for platforms that prefer end users to pay for their labels and services directly with EasyPost, reducing financial risk.
Your Platform Pays
The Centralized Plan allows platforms to maintain full control over end-user payments by routing all shipping activity through a single account. This enables rate markups to generate additional revenue.

- Platform Application: A web or mobile application that interacts with Forge.
