1. Addition
  2. Getting started: Display Shipping Rates
  3. Step 1: Shopify Settings

2. Update Shipping Zones

The most important step to enable Australia Post rates in your store is to set up shipping zones with 'calculated' shipping rates provided by our app.

Enable or disable Australia Post rates in a shipping zone

If you haven't already created a shipping zone you'll need to do that first.

  1. Navigate to your Shopify admin. For example: storename.myshopify.com

  2. Click Settings, then Shipping and delivery.

  3. Click Manage rates on one of your shipping profiles.

  4. On this screen you will see a list of any shipping zones, and their shipping rates.
    If you don't have a shipping zone setup, click Create shipping zone.
    If you have your zones setup already skip to step 6.

  5. Give the zone a name and select the countries or regions you'd like to include, then click Done.

  6. Next, you need to add a 'calculated' rate, selecting 'Australia Post Shipping' as the carrier.
    Click Add rate on a zone you wish to add Australia Post rates to.

  7. In the 'Add rate' window select 'Use carrier or app to calculate rates', then choose 'Australia Post Shipping (Rates provided by app)' from the dropdown menu.
    If Australia Post Shipping is greyed out and can't be selected, this means you've already added the app to this zone. You only need to add the app once to each zone.
    If Australia Post Shipping isn't an option, you've missed the important step Install the shipping carrier service to your store.

  8. Check the post services you would like to apply ('Express Post' and/or 'Parcel Post'). We suggest you check 'Automatically show new shipping services to customers when they become available'.

  9. Click Done. Make sure to save your changes, click the Save button to the right.

TIP: If you already have shipping zones setup with Shopify default rates created before you installed Addition, it's a good idea to delete those default rates now.

How to remove Australia Post rates

  1. To remove the 'Australia Post Shipping' carrier from a zone simply click the 3 dots to the right of the carrier and choose Delete rate.

Hint: if you can't find your Australia Post rates they are listed under the 'Carrier and app rates' tab. This happens when you have both default Shopify rates and carrier-calculated rates.
