USPS

Connect your USPS WebTools account with QPilot to apply carrier rates to Scheduled Orders.

Step 1: Add a Post Code to your QPilot Site

Adding your "Origin" Zip Code is a vital step to setting up your USPS integration. USPS utilizes your site's "Origin" Zip Code to automatically calculate available shipping rates and then sends this information to QPilot.

  1. Login to https://merchants.QPilot.cloud
  2. From the Sites page, edit the site you want to localize by clicking on the Site > Edit.
  3. Set your site's base location in the "Options" tab
  4. Set your site's Zip Code

Step 2: Add the USPS integration for your site

  1. From the Sites page, select your site to view your Site Dashboard and then select "Shipping Integrations" from the menu
  2. Create a new Shipping Integration (click the "+" icon) and select "USPS"
  3. Enter your USPS UserId - this is UserId for your USPS WebTools account:
    1. If this is a "test" account, enable the "Test Mode" checkbox
    2. Select "Create" to finish

Step 3: Create Shipping Rates for USPS

  3. For Enabled Shipping Methods, select the USPS Shipping Method(s) you would like to apply for this Shipping Rate

Other Requirements:

  • Products must have dimensions and weight.  These properties are set in your connected site's Products and synchronized to QPilot.
  • Like other shipping rates, the lowest cost / cheapest shipping rate that a Scheduled Order qualifies for will be applied automatically
  • When applying multiple USPS Shipping Methods within a single shipping rates, QPilot will automatically validate all the potential rates and apply the lowest cost rate to the Scheduled Order.
