Step 3: Recommendations for Recharge Threshold & Amount
We recommend setting your payment method to a bank account, because EasyPost applies a convenience fee to all transfers made into the EasyPost Wallet using a credit or debit card.
When setting up your billing in EasyPost, it's important to set an appropriate recharge threshold and amount.
-
Auto-Reload Threshold
-
This is the dollar amount that will trigger a transfer from your bank account or credit card to EasyPost
-
-
Reload Amount
-
This is the amount that will be transferred from your bank account or credit card when the threshold is met
-
-
It can take 5 days for funds to transfer from a bank account to EasyPost. As such, we recommend setting the recharge threshold to account for at least 5 days worth of USPS shipping costs (FedEx and UPS are billed directly via the carrier, not EasyPost).
Please DO NOT set the recharge threshold to $0, as it may halt the shipping operation. We recommend a minimum of $100, but that amount may vary depending on the size of your operation.
