Merchants based in Australia who do not have an active subscription are still able to use Shippit as pay-as-you-go users.
Pay-as-you-go users are charged a 15% service fee on top of the booking fee through the credit card they entered in Shippit > Invoices > Payment Details.
This means that merchants who (1) do no have an active subscription and (2) do not have credit card information saved in Shippit cannot use the platform as pay-as-you-go users.
The service fee covers the ability to:
Obtain shipping quotes from multiple couriers in one request
Send automated email notifications for important steps in the delivery
Track all bookings in a single page
Review spending, speed, and satisfaction per courier through Shippit analytics
Raise tickets through Shippit support channels
We must note, however, that pay-as-you-go users are unable integrate your own carrier account.

Shippit makes the Pay-as-you-go option available for merchants who may see this as advantageous to their current business model.
However, if you intend to spend over $126 in shipping bookings per month, we encourage you to take advantage of the Grow subscription at $54 per month. Grow has 250 included bookings (with no service fee) and lets you access up to 34% discounted rates with Shippit couriers. Apart from that, you can start using your own accounts with couriers.
To subscribe to a plan, login to Shippit and go to Invoices > Subscriptions or contact your Shippit representative.
