Hi,

I've been able to set up a test BCG account, but I'm not sure where to go next. The docs make reference to a USPS Test Developer Portal, but I can't figure out where that is so that I can go and register the app.

the test environment is developer-cat.usps.com I recommend starting with version 3 APIs as they are the latest and have the most up to date features. remember to set /payment first, using an EPA (credit card stored in EPA) or permit before trying to create labels. thank you for your business. please let me know if you need anything else.

I have a question about the test environment. I have both a regular account and a test account but I'm not sure how to set up the payment in the test environment. Is there a way to use the same EPS.

charlenebedford-usps commented 1 year ago

you have to set the /payment token using your EPS account first. then use that token in your label calls. you can read the details for the payment API in the portal. please let me know if you have any other questions.

Charlene,

I have sooo many more questions. I have not had much success with getting this to work.

In Postman I went to https://api.usps.com/oauth2/v3/token using my company data I was able to create a token. I then took that token and went to https://api.usps.com/payments/v3/payment-authorization but I get the error "Unable to process transactions because CRID isn't enrolled in USPS Ship Outbound." I am unable to find where to get that set up.

Is it possible to take this off-line and get some 1:1 help.

Thanks,

Janet

I had the same questions about setting up payments where the previous post left off.

Looks like:

  1. Getting Started, Step 5:
  2. "Navigate to the USPS Customer Onboarding Portal"
  3. Click the USPS logo to be redirected to the main menu
  4. Enterprise Payment System, should be there

For future reference, it seems like there is the possibility of large swaths of downtime and it was a little hard to find the announcement, that for instance, the CAT system is down this weekend even though you can login and do some things - just not establish payments.

I still get "Unable to process transactions because CRID isn't enrolled in USPS Ship Outbound.". Any update further guys?
