Adding Carrier Accounts

Each EasyPost account is automatically provided a USPS account with Commercial Plus Pricing managed by EasyPost. Additional carrier accounts can be added from the carriers dashboard page or via API. Check out easypost.com/carriers for a complete list of carriers we support. 

How to add a carrier from the dashboard

1. Click your email on the top left hand side of the screen and select 'Carrier Accounts'. 

2. Search and select your carrier.

3. Complete the required fields (certain carriers may require online login authorization) and click 'Create'. 

• The reference field is an optional field that can be used as your own internal label for your personal reference. Depending on the carrier, the reference may be printed on the label.

May I request that you add a carrier for support?

You certainly can. Just let us know which carrier you’re using, as well as your expected monthly shipping volume, and we’ll see if it’s feasible to add your carrier to our platform. Reach out to us at support@easypost.com to start the conversation.

What happens when a carrier fails upstream from the API?

If a carrier isn't responding upstream from us, the API will return 400 and 500 errors.

Also, if a carrier isn't responding from a multi-carrier rating call, we will still display all available rates from all available carriers. The unresponsive carrier will return a rate error message that can be found in the Shipment Object's messages attribute.
