For example: **MyPost Business** Select the account type that matches your Australia Post account, as this affects the available services, credentials, and label workflow. ### API Key Enter your Australia Post API key. You can get your API key from your Australia Post developer or business account. ### Merchant Token Enter your MyPost Business Merchant Token. If you use MyPost Business, click **Connect with MyPost** to load your Merchant Token automatically. You can also retrieve the Merchant Token manually from your MyPost Business account. Click **Show** if you need to view the saved token. ### Enable Contract Postage Enable **Contract Postage** if you want the plugin to use your contracted Australia Post rates at checkout. When disabled, the plugin uses the standard available rates for the selected account type. ## Labels The **Labels** section controls the default label layout, sender details, duties payer, and label options. ### Label Layout Choose how many labels should be printed per page. For example: **A4 — 2 labels per page** Select the layout that matches your printer, label paper, or fulfilment workflow. ### Labels Payment Method Choose which payment method should be used when generating labels. For example: **Charging Account** This is the account Australia Post will use to charge label purchases. ### Business Name Enter the sender name that should appear on labels. This is usually your store name or registered business name. ### Business Phone Enter the phone number that should appear on labels. This may be required for some international services. ### Landed Costs Payer Choose who should pay international duties, taxes, and fees. Available options may include: - Receiver pays duties and taxes - Sender pays duties and taxes Sender-paid options may require a Zonos Verified Account. Australia Post may reject unsupported payer choices for some destination countries. ### Branded Labels Enable **Branded Labels** to add Australia Post branding to the generated label. ### Add Delivery Instructions Enable **Add Delivery Instructions** to print customer delivery notes on the label. ### Email Tracking Notifications Enable **Email Tracking Notifications** if you want Australia Post to send tracking email notifications to customers. ## Shipping Defaults The **Shipping Defaults** section is used when product shipping data is missing. These values help the plugin calculate shipping rates when products do not have complete weight or dimension information. ### Shop Origin Postcode Enter the postcode your orders are shipped from. If this field is empty, the plugin may use your WooCommerce store postcode. If no postcode is available, it may use the default value shown in the field. ### Default Package Weight Enter the fallback package weight used when a product-level weight is missing. The value is entered in kilograms. For example: `0.5` ### Default Package Size Enter the fallback package dimensions used when product-level dimensions are missing. The values are entered in centimetres: - Length - Width - Height For example: `25 × 20 × 10` ### Signature Label Enter the label text used for Signature on Delivery. This text may be shown in checkout or label-related areas when signature service is available. ### Extra Cover Label Enter the label text used for Extra Cover. This text may be shown in checkout or label-related areas when extra cover is available. ### Remove GST Enable **Remove GST** if you want the plugin to remove GST from returned Australia Post rates. This removes GST from the shipping rates displayed by the plugin. ### Enable Debug Mode Enable **Debug Mode** to show diagnostic information to admins. This is useful when troubleshooting shipping rates, account connection issues, or Australia Post API responses. Debug messages are only shown to administrators. Do not leave Debug Mode enabled unless you are actively troubleshooting an issue. ## Custom Shipping Titles The **Custom Shipping Titles** section lets you rename the shipping methods shown to customers on the cart and checkout pages. This is useful if you want clearer or more customer-friendly service names. Delivery times cannot be customized because they are constantly changed by Australia Post. ## Contract Postage Products Use this section to customize the checkout titles for domestic and international parcel services. ### Domestic Options You can rename domestic Australia Post services such as: - Regular Post - Express Post - Courier Post For example, you may rename **Regular Post** to: **Australia Post Regular Post** ### International Options You can rename international Australia Post services such as: - Economy Air - Economy Sea - Standard International - Courier International - Express International For example, you may rename **Standard International** to: **Australia Post Standard International** ## Domestic Letters Options The **Domestic Letters Options** section lets you customize the titles for domestic letter and envelope services. Expand this section to edit the available domestic letter service names. ## International Letters Options The **International Letters Options** section lets you customize the titles for international letter services. Expand this section to edit the available international letter service names. ## Save Changes After updating your settings, save the page to apply your changes.
