Order Desk has the ability to interface directly with your Endicia label-printing software.

Connect Integration

To enable the integration, click on  Manage Integrations in the left sidebar. Under the Shipping tab, find and enable the Endicia integration.

Alternatively, search for Endicia in the available search bar.

Once enabled, you'll be taken directly to the integration's setup page.

Using With Your PC

Open each order you want to print. Confirm the price and weight in the “Print Endicia Labels” section and click the Prepare button. All the order data will be sent directly to Endicia where you can confirm your address and print your label.

You can also do this in batch by creating XML and submitting it (like the PC method below) but the labels will automatically print without a chance to confirm or change anything.

Shipping Class Match

For information on how to set up your shipping preferences, please read the shipping class match guide.

Using With Your PC

Select a number of orders from the order list page and click the “Endicia” button. (You can also click this button from an order detail page.) Order Desk will compile the necessary XML and prompt you to save a file to your computer. You can either save the file on your desktop or to Endicia’s watch folder for automatic ingestion. 

If you want to manually import the file, switch to Endicia, click File > Print From > External File, and select your saved XML file. Your order packages will be automatically imported into Endicia for confirmation and printing.

Customize Package Types

If you would like to customize the type of package based on something in your order, you can add checkout data on the order with a rule. Field name must be set with ENDICIA_PACKAGE_TYPE and one of the values in the Available Field Values table below. For example:
