Access Helpful Illustrations Print

The UI illustrations (referred to as "figures") mentioned in the knowledge base article for USPS account creation and API creation come directly from official USPS documentation, primarily the USPS APIs Migration Onboarding Guide (a PDF available on the USPS website).

Primary Source

Download the full guide here: https://www.usps.com/business/web-tools-apis/onboarding-guide.pdf (Version 6.0 or later, dated around February 2026).

This PDF contains detailed screenshots of every major step in the Customer Onboarding Portal (COP), including:

• Figure 1: USPS Developer Portal Getting Started page (shows the prominent COP button/link).
• Figure 2: USPS Customer Onboarding Portal Login page (sign-in form + "Create New Account" button).
• Figure 3: Account Creation – Enter email screen.
• Figure 4: COP landing/dashboard after login (account info, "Skip Payment & Continue" option).
• Figure 8: COP top navigation with "My Apps" link.
• Figure 9: Getting Started section + "Developer Apps" link.
• Figure 10/11: App creation form (App Name, Description, Callback URL, "Public Access I" checkbox, "Add App" button).
• Figure 12: App list showing "Approved" status.
• Figure (around 10-11 in some versions): Manage App screen with "Manage" button.
• Figure (credentials screen): App details showing Consumer Key and Consumer Secret fields with Copy buttons (masked for security).

The guide includes captions and step-by-step context for each figure, matching the descriptions in the knowledge base article (e.g., "Figure 8 equivalent," "Figure 11 equivalent," "Figure 13/14 equivalent").

A companion document, the USPS API Cloud Enrollment Tech Sheet, also has useful visuals:

• Figure 1: Developer Portal Apps page.
• Figure 2: Add App form (including Public Access I selection).
• Figure 3: Credentials page (Consumer Key + Secret).

How to Access the Illustrations

1. Visit the USPS Developer Portal Getting Started page: https://developers.usps.com/getting-started — it links to the COP and references the onboarding process (no embedded images on the live page itself, but it points to the PDFs).
2. Open the PDF(s) in any PDF viewer. The figures are embedded with high-resolution screenshots of the exact COP and Developer Portal interfaces.
3. Search inside the PDF for "Figure" or specific terms like "My Apps," "Add App," "Consumer Key," or "Public Access I" to jump directly to the relevant visuals.

These official screenshots are the most accurate and up-to-date representations of the UI (as of early 2026), since the COP interface can have minor updates over time.

Additional Notes

• The Zen Cart USPS RESTful module documentation (on GitHub or Zen-Cart.com forums) does not include its own screenshots of the USPS side — it directs users to the official USPS guides for credential setup.
• No public image gallery or standalone screenshot repository exists outside these official PDFs (USPS does not host individual image files for these steps on their site).
• If you need visuals for Zen Cart admin configuration (not USPS COP), check the module's GitHub wiki: https://github.com/retched/ZC-USPSRestful/wiki — it may have store-side screenshots, but the article's illustrations specifically target the USPS onboarding flow.

If the PDF links change or you encounter access issues, search for "USPS APIs Migration Onboarding Guide" directly on usps.com or developers.usps.com. The process and UI elements described remain consistent with the figures in these documents.
