ShipAccel Release Notes version 1.97.0 (February 7, 2025)

ShipAccel Release Notes for version 1.97.0 (February 7, 2025).

Products affected: ShipAccel

New Features & Enhancements

Default Sender Address information icon

Added an information icon next to the Sender section to help users. This icon includes steps on how to update a user's default sender address.

Rate Shop total charges

In the previous version of Rate Shop, users could only view the base charges. After selecting a service, they would then see the total charges, which included both base charges and surcharges.

Now, users will see the Total Package Charges directly, rather than just the base charges. For a detailed cost breakdown, users can refer to the sidebar under View Detailed Cost. This change applies to all carriers.

USPS credit card admin fee

Users will now see the Credit Card Admin Fee listed in the USPS Postage Refill Receipt email. Previously, this fee was only displayed in the Postage History report.

Expired credit cards status on Add Postage screen

If a user attempts to add funds using an expired credit card linked to their profile, the Expired status will appear on the Add Postage screen next to each card that has expired.

User-friendly Add Payment Method redesign

Updated the Add Credit Card and ACH Payments buttons for improved user-friendliness. These buttons are located on the Payment Methods screen under the Wallet tab.

Total billable weight

The total billable weight is the weight that carriers use to calculate shipping rates. It can be the actual weight of the item or the dimensional weight, depending on which is greater.

This weight will be displayed in the history section and will also be included in exported .CSV files from the History page.

This policy applies to all carriers that provide this weight information.

UPS Pitney Bowes single payer account

Single-payer is a shipping system in which Pitney Bowes covers all shipping fees to the carrier, eliminating the need to split costs among the sender, recipient, and others.ShipAccel users can activate a Pitney Bowes single-payer UPS account on the Carriers screen. Please note that a credit card is required for using single-payer shipping.
