## Sign Up for EasyPost

To enable automatic shipping label generation, sign up for a free account at [easypost.com](https://www.easypost.com).

EasyPost provides access to discounted USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and more through a single API.

## Get Your API Keys

After signing up, navigate to your EasyPost dashboard.

**Test vs Production keys:** Test keys (starting with `EZTK`) create test labels that are not charged. Production keys create real, billable labels. Use Test mode while setting up.

## Set Up Carriers

In your EasyPost dashboard, enable carriers under **Carrier Accounts**. USPS is available by default. To add UPS, FedEx, or others, follow EasyPost carrier setup instructions.

## Add API Key to Plugin

Navigate to **Gyta Buyback → Settings → EasyPost** tab. Paste your API key in the **API Key** field and save.

The plugin automatically detects whether you are using a test or production key and displays the current mode.
