What are the benefits of integrating MyPost Business account?

Connecting your MyPost Business account with Interparcel brings a host of benefits, making order fulfillment more efficient by managing everything from one centralized platform. This integration removes the need for manual data entry for Australia Post orders.

For those using parcel presets and an address book without eCommerce integration, the booking process becomes even more straightforward and automated.

When you import orders directly from your online store, Interparcel seamlessly pulls in all order details, completes the shipment information, marks the order as fulfilled in your store's backend, and automatically sends tracking updates to your customers. This significantly speeds up the fulfillment process, reducing it to just seconds, and can be further optimized using automation tools like our Rule Manager. Furthermore, by utilizing Interparcel's extensive courier network, you gain access to more competitive rates and a broader selection of delivery options.

What are the ecommerce platforms that can be integrated with Interparcel?

Interparcel is versatile and designed to integrate with numerous ecommerce platforms, such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento 2, eBay, BigCommerce, Etsy, Neto, Wix, PrestaShop, Squarespace, and Zencart.

How much faster can Interparcel make my current fulfilments with MyPost Business?

On average, businesses have seen an 85% reduction in the time it takes for manual processing of their orders. For businesses that see dozens of orders a day that can end up being hours of time spent fulfilling orders. This is largely due to Interparcel's automation capabilities, list of couriers to select on a centralised platform, and streamlined processes.

For a specific estimate, you may want to consult directly with Interparcel or try our 60-Day FREE Trial to measure the difference for yourself.

Will the Australia Post shipping services automatically show up after I integrate my account?

It should as long as you've activated the Australia Post services within your Interparcel account.
