[Shipping Options](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/shipping-options?hsLang=en) March 6, 2026 # New USPS Version 3 Integration for ProductCart ## ProductCart v5.5 offers USPS newest "Version 3" shipping integration. This will ensure future compatibility. The **United States Postal Service (USPS)** has announced the retirement of its [**legacy Web Tools API**](https://www.usps.com/business/web-tools-apis/) platform, which includes various online shipping integrations. The official [sunset date for these services](https://www.usps.com/business/web-tools-apis/archive/2025-web-tools-release-notes-1-5.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com) is January 25, 2026. It is best to read line up all the necessary IDs and keys before installing v5.5 to ensure no break in service after upgrading. #### IMPORTANT NOTE:  Part of the onboarding service is receiving a **Enterprise Payment System (EPS)** number, which may take 2 to 3 days to verify. Give yourself plenty of time to set this up before upgrading your[ProductCart store to version v5.5](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/kb/productcart-version-5-5?hsLang=en). Existing USPS customers need to do the onboarding to connect their USPS account with and signup for EPS Service through [Business Customer Gateway on USPS](https://gateway.usps.com/eAdmin/view/signin).  This process will be able to get/create/review all of the required numbers for the new USPS shipping integration. These numbers include your EPS, CRID, MID and Manifesting MID information, which you'll need to both return rates and create shipping labels. You may also use Endicia to create shipping labels too for USPS. ### **ENTERPRISE PAYMENT SYSTEM (EPS) ONBOARDING INSTRUCTIONS** **EPS USER GUIDE -\>[https://postalpro.usps.com/EPSUserGuide](https://postalpro.usps.com/EPSUserGuide)*****(Complete Instructions)*** You can set up your EPS account with a banking account, a credit card, or both.  You will need payment set up to get your account out of PENDING and APPROVED.  *Below is a screenshot of the "[Business Customer Gateway](https://gateway.usps.com/eAdmin/view/signin)" page, where you can find, apply for, or edit your Enterprise Payment System service.*![](https://productcart-kb.nsource.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-06-2026-02-13-58-5281-PM.png?width=670&height=216&name=image-png-Mar-06-2026-02-13-58-5281-PM.png) **NOTE**: You will need to connect a payment type for verification and to use the new USPS integration (get rates quoted). Unless you use USPS for purchasing labels or other services, you will not be billed for the EPS account itself. ### **CREATING AN APP WITH KEY AND SECRET** FULL DIRECTIONS -\> [https://developers.usps.com/getting-started](https://developers.usps.com/getting-started) After logging into the [USPS Developers Portal](https://reg.usps.com/entreg/LoginAction_input?) with your USPS credentials, you can make an app which is simply creating the set of keys to use for your ProductCart USPS integration so it can communicate securely to your USPS account.
