Endicia Miva integration

[pixlfixr]

Up until now, we've used legacy order processing, and generated mailing labels outside of Miva using Endicia for Mac. We just upgraded to Miva v9, and are transitioning to using Miva's newer order processing systems. We want to print shipping labels within Miva using our Endicia account. We see that we have the Endicia shipping module "active", but don't know how to configure and implement it. Thanks for your help.

Have you followed the instructions in the Reference Guide: www.miva.com/referenceguide

They're the same for both PR8 and Version 9 (other than the UI looking different).

Yes, we did search the Reference Guide, but found no configuration instructions regarding Endicia.

BTW: Just so you know, using the built in endicia shipping in MM is a "giant step for mankind".

It really is so much better than using either endicia desktop software (dazzle) or even using shipworks (which required you to pay for an endicia account ALONG with the shipworks monthly subscrtion).

Basically, once miva came out with the endicia, we said goodbye to shipworks.

I am moving my client over to Miva 9. They have a Endicia account for printing USPS labels. They say they do not have a USPS account. I activated the 'Endicia' module, but the USPS shipping options do not display in the shipping menu. I also have a UPS module activated.

The endicia labels are an admin only feature for generating USPS shipping labels. Endicia does not provide rates to customers going though checkout.

If you want real-time USPS rates to display to customers during checkout you also need a USPS Webtools account and turn on the USPS shipping module in Miva.

Here is the signup form for the Webtools account:

Just so they know...

they can get an account FREE with USPS webtools.

How were they getting USPS rates before moving them to MM9?

If they were using one of the flat rate type modules out there, they should still probably work.

Hope this helps.

There are using MOM ( Multi Channel Order Management ) with SiteLink. They say they do not have a USPS account to use Endicia.

Re: Endicia Miva integration

MOM and Sitelink have no impact on this, if they want to display live USPS rates to their customers via Miva, they need to setup a (free) USPS Online Tools account.

Re: Endicia Miva integration

They would still use Endicia to print the labels with postage though.

Re: Endicia Miva integration

I setup a USPS WebTools account, but the USPS shipping options are still not showing up in the menu. Do I need to have USPS switch to a production server? Also under Endicia settings it states to 'Recredit Account'. UPS is displaying.

Re: Endicia Miva integration

Yes. When you signed up for the USPS account you should have gotten an email. It has a phone number to call to get your account moved to the production server. You'll need to do that before you'll get rates (it is quick and takes about 5 minutes)


To generate labels you will need a separate account with endicia, where you pre-pay credits which are used to purchase labels.

For Endicia, can the labels print the new ORMD warning diamonds?

I don't think it is something we currently support. That new standard went into effect 1/1/2021. I can check with Endicia if it is something their label generation API is able to send us.
