This reference lists the carrier-specific Pitney Bowes Baseline Account fields used in techSHIP configuration.


Use it together with the linked Baseline Account setup steps: the setup guide covers the shared configuration flow, while this article defines the confirmed field values, field behavior, and carrier-specific configuration details.

  

 
Note  

  

Create one Baseline Account for each Pitney Bowes provider/code that will be used in techSHIP. There is no main Pitney Bowes plugin code that rates across all providers; each Baseline Account must be created with the specific provider code required for that operation.

 

Confirmed provider/code entries:

  • Pitney Bowes PBI — PITNEYBOWESV2PBI
  • Pitney Bowes FedEx — PITNEYBOWESV2FEDEX
  • Pitney Bowes PB Presort — PITNEYBOWESV2PBPRESORT
  • Pitney Bowes UPS — PITNEYBOWESV2UPS
  • Pitney Bowes USPS — PITNEYBOWESV2USPS
