Shipping is one of the most crucial components of an online business, and connecting the United States Postal Service (USPS) with your e-commerce platform is essential for your success.
USPS integration with PFK allows your business to access USPS shipping services directly, offering everything from label generation and package tracking to rate calculation and international shipping. Working with PFK doesn’t mean you lose USPS services — you get USPS along with your order fulfillment services at PFK.
How USPS Integration with E-Commerce Websites
The USPS integrates with PFK’s core order fulfillment software, which we then incorporate into your eCommerce platform. This provides customers with seamless access to essential shipping tools, commercial discounts on USPS services, and order fulfillment services from PFK.
Popular e-commerce platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce connect directly with PFK’s order fulfillment service. Once an order is completed, it flows to PFK’s platform, which automatically generates shipping labels, calculates real-time shipping rates, and supports shipment tracking. To your end clients, they’ll think it’s all your website. It’s seamless.
This integration simplifies how your products are picked, packed, and shipped, making it easy for website owners to offload order fulfillment to PFK without interrupting their service or changing their preferred shipping carriers.
Since PFK connects directly with USPS (along with dozens of other shipping carriers), you only need to allow PFK to connect their software to yours. Once connected, shipping runs seamlessly.
Best of all, you can still configure the USPS services you want to provide to your customers.
USPS Integration for Sales
Using USPS as one of your carriers is just good business. USPS improves your operations by automating shipping tasks and providing discounts that other carriers can’t match.
USPS also provides many services that customers expect. Estimating shipping rates and tracking packages are no longer optional for modern eCommerce operations.
Working with PFK means you automatically receive USPS services and rates like before. Our software bridges your site and shipping services as part of our onboarding service.
The only difference? There is none. You’re getting USPS services just like before. You’re just getting it third-party through us.
The Best Rates on USPS Shipping
With PFK’s integration with USPS, you can use your shipping rates or ours. The choice is yours.
If you leverage our contracts, we think we’ll save you money with discounted shipping rates like Commercial Base Pricing (CBP) or Commercial Plus Pricing (CPP). These rates are significantly lower than standard retail pricing for smaller and lighter packages. Our software allows you to take advantage of those rates while also taking advantage of PFK services like order fulfillment, returns, and custom product kitting.
If you ship internationally, so does PFK. If your site offers overnight shipping, so does ours. Any service the USPS provides is a service we offer. Automation, discounted rates, and transparent, discounted shipping all contribute to a system that can scale with the business without overwhelming your e-commerce manager or the broader operations team.
PFK and USPS: A Great Team
USPS integration with e-commerce websites is essential for businesses that want to optimize their shipping operations, reduce costs, and enhance the customer experience. For e-commerce managers, automating shipping, offering real-time rates, and providing seamless tracking and notifications can make the difference between solid sales and sales lost to competition.
By tapping into USPS’s reliable services and discounted rates, e-commerce businesses can meet customer expectations, whether shipping domestically or internationally.
In a highly competitive online marketplace, working with PFK and USPS provides the tools and infrastructure necessary for e-commerce owners to streamline their operations, focus on growth, and ensure customer satisfaction.
