With peak season fast approaching, platforms need a surefire way to set up their shipping offering in time for the holiday surge. Forge unlocks your ability to not only get started in minutes, but also easily turn your shipping offering into a profit generator.
The features and tools in this update are included at no extra cost.
Grow shipping revenue with FlexRate
FlexRate enables Forge centralized users to profit from label purchases made through their platform. FlexRate returns two separate rates when an API call is made. One is what you’ll be charged by EasyPost for the postage. The other can be customized and presented to your customers.
- Revenue generator: Increase profits on every label sold.
- Strategic support: Adjust sub-account facing rates to fit your business strategy.
- Easy access, easy setup: Review FlexRate’s API documentation and get started in minutes.
- Endless configurations: Set your rates your way with FlexRate.
- EasyPost Wallet Carrier synergy: Wallet Carriers provide a strong foundation for using FlexRate.
FlexRate launches with the ability to set separate customizations based on carrier and service level. It will be upgraded in 2026 to allow for more detailed modifications based on the following:
- Parcel zone
- Parcel weight
- Carrier surcharge
- Assigned user groups
Leverage Forge without ever leaving your platform
Forge’s embeddable UI is another tool that allows Forge users to get up and running faster than ever. This UI can be easily dropped into your current platform, providing a seamless experience where your sub-accounts never have to leave your platform.
It provides similar functionality and benefits to the Forge customer portal but takes another integration a step further. With the embeddable UI, your developer team can focus on business goals instead of building complex interfaces for sub-accounts to manage their carrier accounts or billing.
- Complex UI support: Get prebuilt UIs for carrier account and billing management without having to build them yourself.
- Direct drop-in: Add the UI to your platform in minutes.
- No redirects: Keep your sub-accounts on your platform for a seamless experience.
We look forward to seeing how our users leverage these tools during peak season. We’re excited to continue iterating on Forge to create the ultimate experience for businesses that need access to quality reliable shipping.
