Connecting your Purolator account to EasyPost allows you to streamline your shipping process for returns and deliveries. Follow this step-by-step guide to set up your integration smoothly.

How to link Your Purolator Account to EasyPost

Pre-Setup Checklist

  1. Puralator Account Type: Ensure your Puralator account is set as Pay on Delivery Return / Bill on Delivery Return, not a standard account. Contact your Purolator account representative to confirm this. Inform them about using EasyPost’s API for label purchases.

    • Standard accounts incur charges for each label generated, regardless of usage.

  2. EasyPost Account: Sign up for an EasyPost account here if you don’t already have one.

  3. API Key: Generate a production API key from your EasyPost account. If unavailable, contact EasyPost support to enable this feature.

    • Use the API details provided by Purolator (Account Numbers, Production API Key, and Production API Key Password) to complete the setup.

    • You may add a custom reference or description for easier documentation.

  • If you don't have a Purolator account:

    2. Inform Purolator about using EasyPost’s API for label purchases.

    3. Acquire rates and align any additional shipping needs.

    4. Obtain the following account credentials:

Step 2: Configure Billing and Wallet

  1. Add Payment Methods:

    • Add two payment methods:

      • Bank account (takes 3–4 days for fund transfers).

      • Credit card (instant, but a 3.75% processing fee applies).

  2. Fund Your Wallet:

    • Ensure sufficient funds in your EasyPost Wallet. This is a pay-as-you-go service, so configure your refill settings appropriately.
