Background
I would like to migrate over from Endicia Dazzle to the Endicia Label Server (USPS) integration
Prerequisites
- An existing Endicia Label Server account is required for the integration.
- Endicia Label Server Account Number.
- Endicia Label Server Pass Phrase (same password that is used when you login to Endicia backend)
Solution
There are 2 ways of achieving the above, please select the solution most suitable for you and proceed with following the steps:
Option 1: I would like to add brand new postal services that will be linked to the new Endicia Label Server integration, so that I could test those properly before removing them from Endicia Dazzle.
Option 2: I would like to use the same services that I was using in Endicia Dazzle to avoid reconfiguring the Linnworks account in various different modules.
Step by step
Option 1
1) Add Endicia Label Server (USPS) integration to your Linnworks.net account by following steps described here: https://docs.linnworks.com/articles/#!documentation/endicia-label-server-add-new
Please note that you may carry on printing the labels from desktop once the configuration has been completed and services have been added to the new integration.
2) Open the Services tab for Endicia Label Server (USPS) from the same Integrations screen once Step 1 is complete.
Select the required service from the available service dropdown and click Add: https://docs.linnworks.com/articles/#!documentation/endicia-label-server-edit-services
Linnworks Service name can be adjusted as required for your convenience:
Make sure to click Edit button for each of the services in order to apply service specific settings, such as label settings, package and signature settings.
Click Finish when all services have been added.
3) If desktop application has been opened before, restart Desktop to see the new services and integration appear in the list of services and in the Settings > Shipping Management page.
Please select the correct printer in Shipping Management page for the newly appearing Endicia integration
4) Assign the new services to your Linnworks orders ready for printing and print the label as usual.
5) When you are happy with the new services, please open the Endicia Dazzle integration and remove all services by selecting them and clicking 'Delete' button. Once you save the changes in that screen, the integration will disappear from your account.
Option 2
1) Add Endicia Label Server (USPS) integration to your Linnworks.net account by following steps described here: https://docs.linnworks.com/articles/#!documentation/endicia-label-server-add-new
Please note that you may carry on printing the labels from desktop once the configuration has been completed and services have been added to the new integration.
2) We recommend doing this step one service at a time in order to ensure everything will be tested before the Endicia Dazzle integration will disappear.
Open the Endicia Dazzle integration in desktop and remove the first service that you will be moving by selecting it and clicking 'Delete' button.
3) Open the Services tab for Endicia Label Server (USPS) in Linnworks.net > Shipping > Services.
Select the required service from the available service dropdown and click Add: https://docs.linnworks.com/articles/#!documentation/endicia-label-server-edit-services
Click on the linking button and select the service that you have just removed from Endicia Dazzle:
Make sure to click Edit button for the service in order to apply service specific settings, such as label settings, package and signature settings > Click OK button.
Click Finish to save the changes.
4) Restart Desktop to see the new integration appear in Settings > Shipping Management page (this only needs to be done once).
Please select the correct printer in Shipping Management page for the newly appearing Endicia integration
5) Select an order in desktop that has the mentioned service assigned to it and print the label as usual.
6) If there are no issues with generating the label, please repeat Steps 2, 3 and 5 for the next service that you will be moving (Step 4 can now be skipped). Please make sure to test all migrated services before removing the last service from Endicia Dazzle in desktop, as once the last service is deleted and you save changes, the integration will disappear from your account.
If any issues arise during adding the integration or printing the labels, please contact Linnworks Technical Support.
