This government agency was founded almost 250 years ago, in 1775, as a federal entity. USPS, also known as the postal service or US Mail, offers domestic mail delivery services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The integration of USPS with your Spree Commerce store can be done quickly and easily following the guidelines mentioned below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The benefits of using USPS for your eCommerce business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re operating on the US market and ship mostly to American customers, you should definitely consider USPS as one of your delivery methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">USPS is by far the cheapest shipping option for light items.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are shipping items under 2 pounds, USPS will always be cheaper than FedEx or UPS.&nbsp;USPS really shines when your package weighs less than 13 oz and can be mailed via First Class mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to integrate USPS with Spree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>USPS has a solution to integrate with your e-commerce site called Web Tools. The Web Tools&nbsp;API library enables external e-commerce shopping cart and shipping software to access USPS data (free of charge). From shipping rates to tracking information to scheduling a package pickup, Web Tools makes shipping with the U.S. Postal Service&nbsp;easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP 1. SIGN UP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Complete the online registration form. You\u2019ll receive an email with your User ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP 2. DOCUMENTATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Explore API Technical Docs and use the provided Quick Code to test in your favorite browser. View&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usps.com\/business\/web-tools-apis\/documentation-updates.htm\">Documentation &amp; Updates<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP 3. PERMISSIONS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once registered, you\u2019ll receive an email with your assigned Web Tools User ID. You\u2019ll then have access to the most popular offerings like the shipping rate, tracking information, and ZIP\u2122 code APIs. For access to more secure APIs, like Label Printing and Package Pickup, you\u2019ll need additional permissions.
