Shippit now integrates with MyPost Business giving you a faster and smarter way to label, ship and track your orders.
You can sign up for MyPost Business account by following the steps below:
Onboarding
Once set up, you will need to log in to your Shippit account and navigate to your Settings > Carrier settings.
In Carrier settings, you will see two services for MyPost Business, MyPost Business Standard and MyPost Business Express. Toggle on the services you’ll need and select Link account.
This will open the onboarding modal for you to connect your MyPost Business account.
From here, select Authorise. This will take you to your MyPost Business login screen. After filling out your credentials, you will be redirected back to the modal.
Select payment method:
If you have a Business Credit account for MyPost Business, you can link that to Shippit by selecting Business Credit Account and selecting the relevant Billing Account from the drop-down menu.
Choose pick-up or drop-offs:
Next, choose if you'd like to drop off packages at the post office or have Australia Post pick up your packages.
An important note on pick-ups
To avoid multiple pick-up fees, please book all of your MyPost Business orders for the day, all at once. If you've already booked a batch of orders on a given day and have additional orders to ship, we recommend updating your preference temporarily, to Drop off at Post Office. You can do this anytime by navigating to the MyPost Business modal in your Carrier settings. Once those orders have been shipped, you can then switch your settings back to Pick-up for the next day.
Parcel and satchel preferences
Parcels and satchels
Shippit automatically determines the correct MyPost Business parcel code, based on the size and dimensions of the order.

Signature on Delivery and Authority to Leave
By default, Signature on Delivery is enabled for all MyPost Business orders booked on Shippit. This will be turned off for individual orders that are declared as Authority to Leave. Please be aware Australia Post charges a fee for orders with a Signature on Delivery specified.
If you prefer to have Authority to Leave as the default for all orders on Shippit, you can enable this on your Carrier settings page, in the Advanced settings section. From there you can select the option “Set Authority to Leave (ATL) as a default for all orders”.
Extra Cover
MyPost Business provides Extra Cover for domestic orders with a specified value of up to $100, at no additional cost. Extra Cover can also be purchased for orders over $100. For more information, head to the Australia Post website.
To ensure your orders are covered, orders must include each Product and its associated Price.
If your product details aren't automatically synced to Shippit, you can add this manually from the New Orders page by clicking on Modify products on individual orders.
ℹ️ If you haven't enabled Extra Cover for orders over $100 on Shippit and have orders that exceed this, we'll automatically limit the value to $100.
Easily see which orders will be covered by checking to see if the order's product value is visible in the Cover column.
How to activate Extra Cover for orders >$100
If you'd like to have Extra Cover for orders with a value over $100, this will need to be activated from the MyPost Business modal in your Carrier settings. Once enabled, this will apply to all new orders booked on Shippit. The cost of Extra Cover for these orders will be included in the total quote.
If you like this enabled, please reach out to our support team.
Delivery notifications
By default, both the MyPost Business and Shippit delivery notifications will be sent. If you'd prefer to switch off either or both of these notifications, please contact our support team.
Booking orders
Bulk confirm and label
You can only confirm multiple orders at once if you have a Business Credit Account with Australia Post.
If you pay Australia Post using a credit card, you will be unable to bulk confirm orders and will see the below error message.
Cancelling orders
Changes happen all the time, and sometimes an order needs to be cancelled. Please remember that when you generate a MyPost Business label on Shippit, you are effectively booking the order with Australia Post. If you'd like to cancel an order, you can do this on Shippit, but we also recommend you refund the order within your MyPost Business portal.
To do this, navigate to the History tab and select the order that needs to be refunded or cancelled.
Within the Transaction details screen, click on View.
On the next screen, click on Refund.
Frequently asked questions
Can I specify pick-up or drop-off on an order level?
No. Our integration allows you to choose pick-up or drop-off as the default option for all MyPost Business orders. You can update this anytime in your Carrier settings. If you may need to use both, we recommend having drop-off selected in your Shippit settings and to book ad-hoc pick-ups in your Australia Post MyPost Business portal.
