USPS API Is Moving to a New Version

USPS is migrating their API to a newer, improved version designed to enhance reliability and long-term support. As part of this transition, existing USPS API Merchant Tokens must be re-authorized to remain active.

If you use USPS through ShipWise, this update requires a quick action to ensure uninterrupted label generation and rating.

What You Need to Do

All USPS API account holders must re-authorize their Merchant Account directly in the ShipWise WebApp.

You can complete this in just a few minutes by following the steps below.

How to Re-Authorize Your USPS Merchant Token

  1. Log in to the ShipWise WebApp
  2. Navigate to Carrier Accounts settings
  3. Select USPS
  4. Follow the Re-Authorization Merchant Account flow to update your Merchant Token

This short walkthrough shows exactly where to go and how to complete the re-authorization process step by step.

Why This Matters

If your USPS Merchant Token is not re-authorized:

  • USPS labels may fail to generate
  • Rating requests may be interrupted
  • Shipments using USPS could be delayed

Re-authorizing ensures a smooth transition to the new USPS API and uninterrupted service.
