Easypost

What is EasyPost?

EasyPost is a multi-carrier shipping API for ecommerce merchants, platforms, fulfillment providers and logistics teams. It lets developers get rates, buy labels, verify addresses and track packages across more than 100 carriers through one integration. The vendor also offers a no-code label tool and discounted rates through its Wallet.

Key features of EasyPost

• Shipping API: rates, label purchase and returns across carriers through one API.
• Tracking API: real-time shipment updates, at $0.01 to $0.03 per shipment.
• Address Verification API: checks delivery addresses before shipping.
• Insurance API: flat 1% of package value, up to $5,000 per package.
• Wallet: discounted carrier rates, which the vendor says reach up to 88% off retail, billed on one invoice.
• No-code labels: create shipping labels without writing code.
• Luma AI: AI-driven cost and delivery-date estimates and savings insights.

How EasyPost works

Developers send shipment details to the EasyPost API and receive rates from multiple carriers, then buy a label and receive tracking updates by webhook. Merchants can use the Wallet for discounted rates or bring their own carrier accounts. Higher-volume shippers move to Pro or Enterprise arrangements through sales.
