Find A Shipping Option From The Order
EasyPost gives businesses an API for working with multiple carriers. In MFS Exchange, staff use the connection to request shipping quotes and purchase labels from an order, using the services available to the connected account.
Your carrier account, shipment contents, destination, and service eligibility determine the available options. We review those requirements when configuring the shipping workflow for your shop.
What MFS Connects
- Staff Rate ComparisonsRequest a quote from the order and compare the carrier services returned for that shipment.
- Label PurchaseSelect an available carrier and service, then buy and print the shipping label from MFS Exchange.
- Shipment DetailsUse the order's address and package information when preparing a quote and label.
- Tracking HandoffLabel tracking information is passed to the configured Advanced Shipment Tracking integration for order tracking.
Checkout Rates And Staff Labels Have Different Jobs
The amount a customer pays for shipping at checkout is calculated by MFS's configured shipping rules. Those rules can account for product categories, distributor sources, destinations, and your store's pricing choices.
When staff prepare the shipment, EasyPost provides quotes for the available carrier services and handles the selected label purchase. That staff quote does not mean checkout is requesting live EasyPost rates.
- Checkout shipping rules configured separately for your catalog, sources, and destinations
- Staff quote requests from the order's shipping tools
- Label purchase and printing for the selected service
- Tracking information passed to Advanced Shipment Tracking when that integration is configured
- Order-status automation reviewed separately with your tracking tools and fulfillment process
Use The Services That Fit Your Shipments
Available carriers, negotiated rates, and services depend on the EasyPost account and connected carrier accounts. We check the quote and label workflow with representative shipments during setup, including the destinations and product types your shop handles.
Configure And Test The Shipping Workflow
You arrange your EasyPost account, carrier accounts, and applicable charges directly with the providers. We connect EasyPost, configure the separate checkout shipping rules, and test staff quotes, label purchases, and the tracking handoff before launch.
