# Stamps.com Integration

Order Desk has the ability to export an XML file that easily imports into [Stamps.com](http://www.stamps.com/) so you can send your orders to USPS to create labels. This integration is compatible with Windows computers. If you use a Mac, we recommend using [Endicia](/integration-setup-guides/shipping-services/endicia-integration.md) instead.

### Setup

To enable the Stamps.com integration, click on **Manage Integrations** under the **Integrations** menu in the left sidebar:

![](/files/R4qUXrYczxvuBmNsFDaL)

Under the **Shipping Tab**, find Stamps.com and click **Enable**:

![](/files/G2oV4Ut34shTBw2Iqn95)

Because Stamps.com isn’t an integration that connects directly to Order Desk, you won’t need to include any account credentials. Once you have enabled the integration, you’ll see some integration settings and details:

### Integration Settings

Select your preferences to finish setting up the integration in Order Desk, and then read the next section for how to set up your Stamps.com account to accept Order Desk orders.

### Exporting Orders to Stamps.com

To set up your Stamps.com profile, you will need to export at least one order into an XML file. To do this, select the orders you want to export and click on the **sendto Stamps.com** button:

![](/files/d6xYJ88H4jij7DuX3egg)

This will download the XML file to your computer. You can leave the file in the location it downloads to or use a specific folder where you will move all of your XML files. In this example, we are moving the file from the download folder to a folder called Stamps.com. It won’t matter which folder you use, as long as you consistently add all future XML exports from Order Desk to the same folder, as this is where Stamps.com will know to look for your files.

Next, go into the Stamps.com app ( [download it to your Windows computer](https://www.stamps.com/download/) if you haven’t already).

Click on **Orders** then **Manage Data Source** and select **Add Source** from the dropdown:

![](/files/FujzzaGIj5Oq26nDn9Lh)

Select **XML** and click **Next**:

![](/files/KxMAhFuP4JHryhd5WN2Q)

Type “Order Desk” for your Profile Name and click **Next**:

![](/files/ivP0DspAIfpI72SbFpDq)

Now you can browse for and select the XML file you saved to your computer and then click **Next**:

![](/files/TTC5Q709KGwwdvqqOADP)

Review the settings and click **Done**.

![](/files/QP7OWNvrqH17XOGO9bfc)

On the next dialog box, choose **XML: OrderDesk** as your profile and click **Done**:

![](/files/plG8FfSJYNx2Kh8iLo3i)

Once setup, you can export your orders the same way: select the orders to export and click the **send to Stamps.com** button in Order Desk. Make sure the file is always in the same folder/location from when you initially set up the integration.

Go into your Stamps.com app and click on **Import Orders** to import the file:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.orderdesk.com/integration-setup-guides/shipping-services/stamps.com-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
