WooCommerce Australia Post Shipping Method

Shipping costs are a common sticking point for stores in Australia. Flat rates rarely match what a parcel really costs to send, and entering Australia Post prices by hand takes time. This plugin asks the Australia Post Shipping API for the rate and shows it to the customer at checkout, for parcels sent within Australia or overseas.

It works with Australian Dollars, centimeters and kilograms, and converts other units for you. You choose which Australia Post services to offer, rename them to suit your store, and add extra costs such as insurance or delivery confirmation. Items can be packed one by one or with the built-in box packer. It suits shops of any size that ship through Australia Post.

Features

• Live Australia Post rates: Shipping costs come from the Australia Post Shipping API, so customers see current rates for domestic and international parcels when they check out.
• Wide range of services: Supports Regular Parcel Post, Express Post, Courier Post, Registered Post and Pack & Track, plus international options such as Air Mail and Sea Mail.
• Satchel and parcel rates: Offers specific rates for satchels at 500g, 1kg, 3kg and 5kg, along with different parcel sizes, so shipping choices match what is being sent.
• Automatic unit conversion: Works with Australian Dollars, centimeters and kilograms, and converts other units automatically, so product measurements entered another way do not complicate setup.
• Editable shipping services: Turn services on or off, change service names to match your branding, and add extra costs like insurance or delivery confirmation to each offer.
• Flexible packing options: Pack items individually or use the built-in box packer to work out packaging, which helps produce accurate rates for multi-item orders.
• Domestic and international shipping: Handles parcels sent within Australia and to destinations overseas from the same plugin, so one setup covers both kinds of orders.
• HPOS support: Supports High Performance Order Storage, which keeps orders in dedicated database tables for store management.
