Step 1

If you don’t have one already, set up an eParcel Contract account.

Contact Australia Post to create an account and find out about rates.

Step 2

Create an Australia Post Developer Centre account

Visit the AusPost registration site and register for a new Developer Centre account. You will receive an activation email from Australia Post. Use this to activate your new account and log in.


Step 3

Apply for access to the Shipping and Tracking API

Log in to the Developer Centre with your newly created account, and navigate to the APIs page (https://developers.auspost.com.au/apis).

Click on the Register your interest today link at the bottom of the 'Shipping and Tracking' section.

If you see a 'Register' screen below, click 'Complete Registration'

Fill in your contact details, select the Australia Post eParcel account(s) box, then enter your account number.

Select Yes in the following screen as ReadyToShip is a Platform Partner

AusPost generally take about one business day to link your eParcel Contract account to your newly created AusPost Developer Account. You should then receive an email from them with a PDF containing your API Key, Secret and Account number to enter into the our app in the connection process.


If you haven't received a response from AusPost within one full business day we suggest you contact them directly at https://auspost.com.au/lodgement-techsupport.
