Overview
- Starshipit's integration with NZ Post allows you to use all of Starshipit's features including generation of packing slips and shipping labels, auto-correction of addresses, branded tracking and notifications and many more.
- This article outlines setting up NZ Post International on your Starshipit account.
How it works
Starshipit is fully integrated with NZ Post services including their domestic, international and express offerings. These three services are represented as three different couriers in Starshipit:
- NZ Post Domestic
- NZ Post International
- NZ Post Express
To use any of these couriers on Starshipit, you will need to request commercial access to the NZ Post API.
Setting up NZ Post
1. Request commercial access to use NZ Post with Starshipit
To use NZ Post on Starshipit, you need to have a commercial access to the NZ Post API. If you already have a commercial access, please proceed to Step 2. If not, please follow the steps in this guide to request commercial access to use NZ Post with Starshipit.
Note
The process to request commercial access only needs to be completed once if you are setting up all three couriers in Starshipit and using the same account number for all three.
2. Enter your API details in Starshipit
Typically, this setup will be completed by the Starshipit team on your behalf. We will reach out to the NZ Post team to obtain your respective API Key (Client ID) and API Secret (Client Secret). However, if you already have your API Key and API Secret and wish to complete the setup yourself, follow the steps below:
- Go to Settings > Couriers > Add New Courier > NZ Post International.
- Tick Enable NZ Post International.
- Enter your Account Number, Client ID, and Client Secret.
- Set your Default Export Type.
- Click Save.
3. Add your product codes
Once Starshipit has confirmed NZ Post International is available on your account, you should check that your preferred services are available in the courier settings.
- Go to Settings > Couriers > NZ Post International > Settings.
- Select your new Product Code in the Drop-down menu.
- Click Add.
- The new product code is now added.
