Overview
Nexus allows shippers to integrate directly to their Shopify platform to do the following:
- Import orders and print labels
- View and manage orders and shipments
- Add custom packaging
- Access EasyPost Edge and Wallet rates
- Utilize EasyPost Wallet Carriers and regional carriers
Accessing Nexus requires an EasyPost account. For users with an existing account, skip to the Launch Nexus From EasyPost Dashboard section. For new users, begin by creating an EasyPost account.
Create EasyPost Account
Navigate to the EasyPost website. Click Sign Up Free.
Enter the required information and click Sign Up Free.
Users will receive a verification email. Click the verification link in the email or copy and paste the provided code in the following page and click Verify.
Log in using the newly created credentials.
Account Setup
Designate the account as For Personal Use or For Business.
Enter the required information for either a personal or business account.
Note: The Business or Shipping Address entered here will be used as the default Origin address in Nexus.
Account Configuration
Enable and disable access to the following features:
- EasyPost Wallet Carriers: If enabled, users have full access to EasyPost Wallet Carriers. If disabled, users must manually add carriers in the EasyPost Dashboard in order to ship.
- EasyPost Guard Insurance: If enabled, $1.00 per shipment protects $100 of value.
- USPS Shipment Claims Assistance: EasyPost manages the manual claims process if USPS loses a package.
- Shipment Tracking: If enabled, EasyPost will send tracking updates for just 0.03 per shipment. Users must enter a valid payment method before continuing.
Accept the terms of service and click Get Started to access the EasyPost Dashboard.
Note: Shipment Tracking is the only setting that requires a payment method during account creation; however, users must enter payment details before shipping with Nexus. See Enter Payment Method for details.
If no payment method was entered during configuration, users will be prompted to add funds; however, this can be done directly through Nexus instead. Click the X to bypass.

Install WeSupply App in Shopify
Users will be prompted to log into Shopify and install the WeSupply Returns & Exchanges app.
