Step 3: Recommendations for Recharge Threshold & Amount

When setting up your billing in EasyPost, it's important to set an appropriate recharge threshold and amount.

  • Recharge Threshold

    • This is the dollar amount that will trigger a transfer from your bank account or credit card to EasyPost

  • Recharge Amount

    • This is the amount that will transfer 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.
