USPS Shipping Connector for Odoo

Hauptfunktionen

Live USPS rate calculation via the Domestic and International rating API, returned directly on quotations, sale orders and Odoo eCommerce checkout as a selectable delivery method

USPS delivery carrier record (extends delivery.carrier) with account credentials stored securely on res.company / res.config.settings — never hardcoded in source

Domestic label generation (Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, Ground Advantage, First-Class Package, Media Mail) purchased and attached to the delivery order as a QWeb PDF report

International label generation with automatic customs declaration data (CN22/CN23 fields) pulled from product weight, value and HS/origin fields

Service mapping layer that translates your Odoo delivery methods to USPS service codes (Priority, Ground Advantage, First-Class) so ops staff pick friendly names, not raw API codes

Tracking number write-back to carrier_tracking_ref on stock.picking plus a clickable USPS tracking URL on the order and customer portal

Scheduled tracking sync via an ir.cron automated action that polls USPS and updates delivery status (in transit, out for delivery, delivered) without manual checks

SCAN form / end-of-day manifest generation so USPS scans a single consolidated barcode instead of every individual parcel

Packaging and weight logic honoring Odoo package types and product weight fields, with dimensional and multi-parcel handling for oversized shipments

Rate error handling and validation that surfaces USPS API messages inline (address, weight or service issues) instead of failing silently at checkout

Address validation hook (optional) to normalize US destination addresses against USPS before a label is purchased, reducing return-to-sender costs

Security enforced with ir.model.access.csv access rights and record rules so only warehouse and shipping roles can buy labels or view credentials

Full multi-company / multi-warehouse support with per-company USPS accounts and per-warehouse origin addresses

Clean XML/OWL views: rate breakdown, tracking status widget, and buy-label action buttons embedded in the native Inventory and Sales screens

XML-RPC / JSON-RPC friendly design so your own scripts or third-party systems can trigger rating and label purchase programmatically

Über dieses Produkt

Stop copy-pasting between Odoo and Click-N-Ship. This is a build-to-order USPS shipping connector that ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs and supports for your specific Odoo 17, 18 or 19 database — not a generic apps.odoo.com download you install blind.

Once purchased, our Odoo engineers scope your exact USPS account, package profiles and warehouse workflow, then deliver a custom carrier integration that lives natively inside Inventory and Delivery. The connector adds a USPS delivery carrier (delivery.carrier) that calls the USPS Domestic and International rating API in real time, so live rates flow straight onto quotations, sale orders and the eCommerce checkout — no more flat-rate guesswork or margin leakage on lightweight parcels.

From the delivery order (stock.picking), your team clicks Buy Label to purchase postage and generate a compliant PDF label (Priority Mail, Ground Advantage, First-Class Package, Media Mail, Priority Express and international services) rendered as a QWeb report and attached to the picking. Tracking numbers write back to carrier_tracking_ref, and a scheduled automated action (ir.cron) polls USPS tracking to keep each shipment's status current on the order and the customer portal. End-of-day, generate a USPS SCAN form / manifest so the carrier scans one barcode instead of every parcel.

The build is engineered the Odoo way: proper models extending delivery.carrier and stock.picking, computed fields with @api.depends, credentials stored on the company (not hardcoded), permissions enforced via ir.model.access.csv and record rules, and clean OWL/XML views. It runs on Community or Enterprise and is delivered as a versioned module with a real __manifest__.py you own. You get the source code, configuration, documentation, training and a post-go-live support window — plus the option to extend it later via XML-RPC/JSON-RPC for your own automations.

Was Sie bekommen

Custom Odoo module (source code) for your target version — 17.0, 18.0 or 19.0 — with a documented __manifest__.py, models, views, security and QWeb report files that you own outright

Installation and configuration on your Odoo instance (staging first, then production) including the USPS carrier setup, service mapping and credential wiring

Service-to-USPS mapping configured to your actual catalog and shipping profiles (Priority, Ground Advantage, First-Class and any others you use)

Written admin and user documentation covering rating, buying labels, SCAN form generation, tracking sync and troubleshooting

A live training session for your warehouse/shipping and finance staff, with a recording for future onboarding

A post-go-live support window (bug fixes and adjustments) covering the delivered scope, with the exact duration confirmed in your onboarding quote

Odoo version-compatibility note and a documented upgrade path so the connector can be migrated when you move to a newer Odoo release

Für wen das ist

US eCommerce merchant on Odoo

Runs an Odoo webshop or B2C store shipping high volumes of lightweight parcels. Needs accurate USPS rates at checkout so shipping charges match reality and margin isn't eaten by flat-rate guesses — and wants labels bought without leaving Odoo.

Warehouse / fulfillment manager

Owns the pick-pack-ship desk. Wants a one-click Buy Label flow on the delivery order, batch SCAN form handoff to the letter carrier, and tracking that updates itself instead of a spreadsheet or the USPS website open in another tab.

Odoo administrator or operations lead

Responsible for keeping the ERP clean and maintainable. Prefers a properly structured module with real security rules, credentials on the company record, and a documented upgrade path over a brittle scripted hack or an unsupported third-party app.

Finance / customer-service team

Reconciles shipping cost against charged freight and answers 'where is my order?' tickets. Benefits from tracking status on the sale order and customer portal, and from postage cost captured against each delivery for reporting.

Häufig gestellte Fragen zu USPS Shipping Connector for Odoo

How long until the USPS connector is live, and is this an instant download?

This is a build-to-order module, not an instant apps.odoo.com download. After purchase, ECOSIRE scopes your USPS account, services and warehouse workflow, then builds, installs and tests the connector on your Odoo instance. Typical delivery is 2-4 weeks depending on the number of USPS services, international requirements and any address-validation or checkout customizations. You get a firm timeline at the end of onboarding.

What support and updates do I get after go-live?

Every build includes a post-go-live support window for bug fixes and adjustments within the delivered scope — the exact duration is confirmed in your quote. Because USPS periodically changes its rating/label APIs and service names, we also offer ongoing maintenance to keep the connector current. You own the source code, so you can extend it in-house or bring us back for enhancements at any time.

Which Odoo versions and editions are supported?

We build for Odoo 17.0, 18.0 and 19.0, on both Community and Enterprise. The connector extends standard delivery.carrier and stock.picking models, so it works with core Inventory, Sales and eCommerce. Tell us your version and edition during onboarding and we target it precisely; when you upgrade Odoo later, we provide a documented migration path.

How does live rating work and where do rates appear?

The module registers a USPS delivery method that calls the USPS Domestic/International rating API using package weight, dimensions and destination. Rates appear as a selectable shipping option on the sale order and on the Odoo eCommerce checkout, so customers and sales reps see accurate USPS pricing before confirming. API errors (bad address, over-weight service) are surfaced inline rather than failing silently.

Can it print international labels and handle customs?

Yes. We support USPS international services with label generation and customs declaration data (CN22/CN23-style fields) drawn from product weight, value and origin/HS fields already in Odoo. The exact international services and customs fields are confirmed during scoping so the labels match what your carrier and destination countries require.

Do I need my own USPS account and credentials?

Yes — you provide your USPS Business/API account (for example a USPS Web Tools or current USPS API account with rating and label permissions). We wire those credentials securely onto your company record in Odoo (never hardcoded in the module) and map your enabled services. If you don't yet have API access, we'll guide you through requesting it as part of onboarding.

Will it slow down or destabilize my existing Odoo setup?

No. The connector is a self-contained module that extends standard shipping models and adds its own views, security rules and scheduled action. We install and test on a staging database first, verify rating, label purchase, SCAN form and tracking sync, then promote to production. Access to credentials and label actions is restricted via ir.model.access.csv and record rules to authorized roles only.
