Importing contacts in PitneyShip Pro

You can import contacts into the system by uploading a CSV file up to 5 MB in size.

The features and options you see may vary depending upon your role and subscription. If you have any questions regarding your permissions, please contact your administrator.

1. Select Settings > Address Book.
2. Select Import.
   
3. To download a template that you can use to create your address file, click on the Download a .csv template link.
4. Replace the sample records in the template with your contacts and save it as a CSV file.
5. If you want any of the imported contacts to be senders instead of recipients, add a column to the spreadsheet called ContactType and fill it with sender for each contact that you want to be a sender. If the column is not present or is not filled in, then the imported contact will become a recipient. This cannot be changed after importing.

   • To merge the contacts in your CSV file with your current contacts, select Merge contacts with my address book.
