Endicia DaZzle Integration

Help Table of Contents | Label Server Account

The least expensive account type for printing USPS labels with postage is the Endicia premium account which currently costs $15.95 per month.  The Endicia premium account will print labels with postage but requires Endicia's Free DaZzle software to be running as well as the Silverthorne Shipping Saver.  The DaZzle software can be minimized it just must be running to print labels with postage from the shipping saver.

The first thing to do is go to www.endicia.com and open a premium service account. From the Endicia home page, you can also download the free DaZzle software needed when using the premium service account in conjunction with the Silverthorne Shipping Saver.  Download and install the DaZzle software first, before selecting DaZzle in the Shipping Saver shown in the screen shot below. Next go to the User Accounts Tab of the Shipping Saver.  Click the USPS tab. Click the DaZzle radio button as shown in the screen shot below.  The Monitor Dir field should get automatically filled in.  The Monitor Directory that you will see on the Shipping Saver User Accounts Tab (see screen shot below) must be entered in the DaZzle Premium Service Options Tab shown below in the fourth screen shot.  The Monitor Directory path entered in both the Shipping Saver application and the DaZzle application must match.

Now start DaZzle.  Then click Postage Options.

The postage options dialog will be displayed as shown in the screen shot below. Click the Premium Service Options Tab.

Check the Monitor this directory for XML files: checkbox as shown in the screen shot below.  Fill in the directory to monitor so that it is the same directory as was filled in on the User Accounts Tab (Monitor Dir) of the Shipping Saver shown in the screen shot above.  Also change every 30 seconds to every 5 seconds. Click the OK button.
