EasyPost is a RESTful shipping API founded in 2012 that consolidates integrations with 100+ carriers — including USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL — into a single platform. It enables businesses to compare rates, purchase labels, verify addresses, track packages in real time, manage returns, and access shipping analytics. EasyPost charges on a per-transaction basis (per shipment, tracking event, or address verification), with enterprise tiers offering volume discounts. It serves primarily e-commerce and fulfillment businesses, delivering shipping cost reductions of 30–40% through built-in carrier discounts and rate-shopping.

Documentation tips

-   EasyPost API fees are deductible as ordinary business operating expenses — categorize them under 'Shipping & Logistics Software' or 'SaaS' for clean bookkeeping.
-   Note that EasyPost fees (the API/platform cost) are separate from the actual carrier shipping costs (postage); both are deductible, but should be tracked as distinct line items.
-   Use EasyPost's reporting dashboard to pull monthly transaction summaries, which simplifies expense reconciliation and provides documentation for deductions.
-   If EasyPost is used for both domestic and international shipments, no special allocation is needed — all business-related API fees are fully deductible.
-   For high-volume shippers with enterprise contracts, confirm whether custom pricing is structured as a subscription or per-transaction, as this affects how accrual-basis businesses record the expense.
