Field

Description

Abort on Error

When set to Yes, Endicia will stop printing the batch file when an error occurs.  Typically this would not be set.

Auto print customs forms

If you are shipping internationally, set this to yes.

Delivery Confirmation

If you want tracking on your USPS packages (typical), set this to yes.

Signature Confirmation

If you need proof of delivery, set this to yes.  A signature is usually required to successfully fight chargebacks by customers claiming non-delivery.

Insured Mail

If you want insurance than select how you want to insure it.  Most merchants find that insuring through Endicia is more cost effective and an easier claims process than the postal service.

Insured Mail Threshold

The value of the shipment after which insurance is added.  Some merchants only insure shipments of $100 due to the risk/reward.

Layout

If you have a specific Endicia Dazzle layout file that you want to use then specify the path to it in this field.  Not typically configured.

Output File

The path to where Endicia should produce the output file (that contains tracking number).  If you're interacting with Endicia Dazzle through the web interface and batch files then you will want to configure this path so the output file is always at a predictable location.

Parcel Select

If you want to save a few pennies shipping Parcel Select shipments, set this to yes.

Prompt

This option controls whether Endicia Dazzle is able to prompt the user.  Typically this should be left unconfigured as you want to prompt the user if you run out of postage during the middle of the batch.

Return Address

The return address to print on the label.

Start

Whether to immediately start printing or just launch Dazzle.  This option is typically left unconfigured.

Stealth Postage

This option masks the amount of postage on the label.  This is very important to set if you charge higher shipping or handling fees.  Almost all merchants turn on stealth postage.

Test

Set this to yes if you need to produce some test labels.

CC Email

By default the XML file will contain the email of the customer from the order.  Endicia can be configured to email the customer the tracking information (not recommended as UltraCart will do this).  However if you want to use this feature, you can configure an additional email to be CC'ed on the email.

Express1.com

Express1.com has a special relationship with the USPS which allows them to print discounted postage on USPS Express, Priority Mail, and International shipments.  UltraCart interacts directly with Express1.com to print USPS labels whenever possible.  To configure Express1.com simply click the begin registration button.

Image Removed

After clicking the begin registration button a new window will open with the Express1.com signup form.  This simple one page form is all you need to get started printing USPS postage at a discount.  After you complete the registration you will close their window and click the complete registration button shown above.  UltraCart will retrieve your credentials from the Express1.com system.  Additional fields will then be displayed allowing you to configure options similar to Endicia Dazzle.
