This is absolutely awesome. I'd love to see EasyPost integrate/replicate Microsoft Office's mail merge functionality for commonly used label templates. For instance, you could `GET api/labels/ids=id1,id2,id3&template_provider=avery&template=15664&format=pdf` and you would get a pre-filled PDF with 3 labels that would print directly to an Avery 15664 label sheet out of an inkjet printer. If EasyPost doesn't do this, we'd probably end up replicating this in-house, but since every self-fulfilling online retailer (a) needs to do this, and (b) would probably just buy these label sheets from the local Staples, it just makes sense for you guys to offer it as well.
- jstreebin 14y agoThanks, we've looked at rotating images and combining them in pdf but haven't pushed any of this yet. If you drop me a note to j at easypost dot co I'd love to find out more and let you know what we're working on
- icelancer 14y agoAbsolutely. This is the missing link in any shopping cart that I've tried out. We don't do huge volume (maybe $100,000/year for 2013), but this is a continual source of annoyance for me - that there is simply no good, automated way to deal with this. Paying a 5% surcharge is absolutely reasonable if someone can just use the USPS APIs and wrap it into an automated postage plugin where my orders get posted to their API and I simply just print out the PDFs that come out. Or something like that. We're not even close to that right now and it's silly!
