Learn how postage funding works in PitneyShip.

How it works

  • To print USPS stamps and shipping labels, you must have a postage balance available in PitneyShip.
  • Each time you print a USPS stamp or label, that amount is subtracted from your postage balance.
  • When your postage balance is too low to complete a transaction, you need to refill by adding more funds.
  • Other carriers, like UPS and FedEx, charge your shipping costs directly to your existing UPS or FedEx account.

USPS Postage account funding options

  • Your USPS postage funds can come from one of three sources:
    • Line of Credit (Purchase Power), a flexible, pay-later line of credit. Learn more
    • Deposit Account (Reserve Account), an FDIC-insured, interest-bearing deposit account. Learn more
    • Credit Card. Learn more
