Upload Customer Addresses via CSV

You can save your customers' addresses that you use for Manual Orders by uploading a file rather than inputting each one by one. 

Download our sample CSV file to see how to format your addresses and correctly format your files ready to upload. Sample Customer Addresses CSV file.

  1. Click SETTINGS from the navigation sidebar.

  7. The next page will ask you to match your CSV fields (source columns) to the ShippingEasy fields. Select a field from each drop-down menu in the Source Column that best matches the ShippingEasy Column field. Match as many fields as necessary, including those required, indicated by an asterisk. The fields include:

    • * Name (Full Name)

    • * First Name (Only required if Full Name is not specified)

    • * Last Name (Only required if Full Name is not specified)

    • Company

    • * Address Line 1

    • Address Line 2

    • * City

    • State/Province

    • Country (If the country is not specified, we will automatically assign the United States)

    • * Zip Code

    • Email (Required to send shipment notification emails)

    • Phone Number

  8. You will be asked to validate the addresses. Validating addresses when saving them can save you time later when processing shipments. However, if you would like to skip this step, check the box to Skip USPS Validation.

    Check the Skip USPS address verification box.

  9. If you plan to map another .csv file with the same column headings in the future, give this mapping a name in the Save these settings for future imports as: field.

  10. Click Continue.

  11. Select Ready to review your file and correct any address validation errors (if you opted to do this). Your file will be displayed on the UPLOAD CUSTOMER ADDRESSES review page under "Current Uploads".

    Tip

    In the event you need to download the CSV file you uploaded to confirm or change something, simply click the file name in blue.

    Any invalid addresses will appear at the top. There are three options available when managing invalid addresses:

    1. Remove the address: Remove any address from the upload by clicking the X  on the right end of each row.

    2. Skip USPS validation for individual addresses: Check the box under Skip USPS Validation.

      Note

      If you opt out of validation for individual addresses, you will not be prompted to correct the address later when shipping to that address.  Shipping to an address that cannot be validated assumes the risk of non-delivery.

    3. Skip USPS validation for all addresses in the upload file: On the Mapping page, you’ll see a tick-box to skip address validation for the upload. On the Upload Review screen, you’ll see a notification for whether you chose to skip validation or didn’t. If you didn’t and want to choose “use anyway” in bulk, you can click the link to Reprocess & Skip Validation. Then will take you back to the “Upload” page, where you will see the green “Ready” button again.

      Note

      If you choose to skip validation for all, you’ll still see the red triangles for the unverified addresses in the app. If you skip validation individually, you will no longer see the red triangle in the app (as you already chose once).

  12. When you are satisfied with the entire list, click the Complete Upload button. The addresses will appear on your CUSTOMER ADDRESSES page!
