- USPS - Goflow also offers USPS Stamps.
EasyPost supports two types of carrier accounts:
- Shipper Owned - Your own carrier account that you connect to EasyPost.
- EasyPost Owned - Digital Access Program (DAP) accounts owned by EasyPost. These accounts are pre-configured and offer discounted rates from supported carriers.
Each option has its benefits, depending on your shipping needs. DAP accounts may offer better rates, while shipper-owned accounts are required if you need to use third-party billing. The table below compares the two account types:
| Type | Setup Required | Discounted Rates | 3rd Party Billing |
|---|---|---|---|
| DAP | No | Yes | Yes |
| Shipper | Yes | No | No |
