Why we decided to revamp our Billing and Wallet experience
At EasyPost, we’re committed to our mission of removing the technical complexities of logistics so customers can focus on growing their businesses. That includes iterating and improving our own solutions. With Billing being a central part of all of our users’ experiences, we decided to revisit it and make the experience easier for both new and existing customers.
Billing FAQs
Where can I find my EasyPost Billing?
Once you log into the EasyPost dashboard, click on “Account Settings'' in the left-hand sidebar. From there you can select the “Billing” tab.
What can I find in the Billing tab?
The EasyPost Billing tab houses critical information for your shipping operations. Here you’ll be able to find your Wallet balance, set your Wallet’s Minimum Balance and Amount, set up your payment methods, view your subscription, and generate any billing-related reports such as Payment Logs, Cash Flow, Adjustments (previously Invoices), and Refunds.
How does the EasyPost Wallet work?
The Wallet enables you to pay for EasyPost services such as labels for EasyPost Carrier Accounts, like USPS, and add-ons including insurance, carbon offsets, and more! Having a sufficiently funded Wallet is critical to prevent any hiccups in your shipping process from failed payments.
You can fund your EasyPost Wallet via ACH or Credit Card. After the initial deposit, you can set your Minimum Balance and recharge Amount. Your Wallet will automatically recharge with your set Amount once the balance drops below your Minimum Balance.
For example, let’s say you have a Minimum Balance of $500 and a recharge Amount of $1,000. Once your Wallet’s balance falls below $500, your Wallet will be recharged with $1,000.
Is it better to pay via ACH or Credit Card?
While the choice is yours, there are different benefits and use cases for each payment method! Credit cards are fast to set up, but they come with a 3.75% processing fee. Users who pay via ACH get to skip the fee and can rest assured that their shipping workflow will never be jammed by an expiration date, but will have to wait a few days for transfers.
We recommend initially funding your account with a credit card to start shipping instantly, and then set up your ACH for long-term stability.
