Click the green "i" for the form field details and configure with your desired settings, then click the save button.

The options are very similar to the Endicia Dazzle configuration.  Below is an explanation of each option.

Field

Description

Customs Content Type

The type of merchandise that you are shipping internationally. The default value is commercial sample unless something else is chosen.

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 Stamps.com 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.

Output File

The path to where Stamps.com should produce the output file (that contains tracking number).  If you're interacting with Stamps.com 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.

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.

Skip Printed Memo

Set this to Yes to skip the printed memo on the label.



Now that we have configure the stamps.com settings, we are ready to process orders residing in your shipping department.
