Compare Pro and Labels Pro
Australia Post Labels Pro for WooCommerce
Print Australia Post shipping labels from WooCommerce
Create WooCommerce Australia Post shipping labels from the order instead of copying addresses, package details, and customs information into MyPost Business or eParcel. Create shipments, print labels individually or in bulk, and add tracking to WooCommerce orders.
A MyPost Business or eParcel account is required to create shipments and print labels.
What Labels Pro changes in fulfilment
Less manual order entry
Create the shipment from the WooCommerce order instead of copying addresses, weights, and contents into Australia Post.
Individual and bulk label printing
Print one label from the order screen, or process a group of orders in Bulk Fulfillment and download a combined PDF.
Shipment and tracking saved with the order
Generated consignment details stay on the order and can appear in admin, emails, and the customer Track link.
How it works
From selected orders to a print-ready PDF
The label workflow stays in WooCommerce. MyPost Business and eParcel do not behave identically after the shipment is created.
-
1
Select an order or a group of orders
Open a WooCommerce order, or filter and select several orders in Australia Post Centre → Bulk Fulfillment.
-
2
Confirm the Australia Post service and shipment details
Check package weight and dimensions, choose the postage product, and add Signature on Delivery or Extra Cover when needed.
-
3
Create the shipment and download the label PDF
eParcel can generate the label in one step. MyPost Business creates shipments that you finish through Labels Orders and payment.
eParcel
After you confirm postage, Generate Label can create the shipment and produce the PDF in one step. Open Shipping Orders when you need the order summary.
MyPost Business
Create Shipment(s) first. Labels Orders is where you pay for the shipping order and download labels. Draft Label opens that Labels Orders workflow.
Print a shipping label from one WooCommerce order
Staff stay on the order screen. The Australia Post Labels Printer calculates postage, creates the shipment, and downloads the PDF.
Step 1
Open the WooCommerce order
The Australia Post Labels Printer metabox sits on the order screen.
Step 2
Calculate Prices
Confirm package details, then calculate available Australia Post postage prices.
Step 3
Select the service and create the shipment
Choose the postage product. eParcel uses Generate Label. MyPost Business uses Create Shipment(s).
Step 4
Download Label or correct the shipment
Download the print-ready PDF. Use Modify Shipments, or Remove Shipment, when the details need a correction before postage is final.
See the documented order-screen steps in How to print labels and create shipping orders.
Version 7 bulk fulfilment
WooCommerce Australia Post shipping labels in bulk
Bulk Fulfillment lives in Australia Post Centre. It is part of Labels Pro, not a separate plugin. Process a day’s orders, then download one combined label PDF.
Filter the fulfilment queue
Narrow WooCommerce orders by date and status, including Processing and On hold, before you select a batch.
Validate before you print
Pre-print checks flag missing weight, dimensions, phone, or customs information so failures surface before postage is bought.
Fix details in the workflow
Resolve blocked orders in place, then choose shipment services and apply Signature on Delivery or Extra Cover for the run.
Create shipments and a combined PDF
Produce one print-ready label file for the selected orders. Changing WooCommerce order status is a separate Change order status action—it does not happen automatically when labels are printed.
Printing labels does not automatically complete WooCommerce orders. Use Change order status only when you want selected orders moved to Processing or Completed.
International shipping labels and customs
This workflow is for creating valid international shipments from WooCommerce, including in-workflow customs corrections. It is not a checkout rate calculator. See Australia Post international shipping for WooCommerce for the combined overseas rates, customs, and label workflow, or show Australia Post rates at checkout when you need live checkout quotes.
Customs item descriptions
Store a clearance description on the product, then edit contents per shipment when needed.
HS tariff codes
Save a 6–12 digit HS code on the product so international labels start with valid tariff data.
Country of origin
Pre-fill origin, typically Australia, and adjust it on the shipment if a product is sourced elsewhere.
Dangerous-goods information
Flag hazardous products so Australia Post receives the declaration on the shipment.
Landed-cost payer
Choose who pays duties for the shipment, including receiver-pays options where supported.
Business phone
International labels require a business phone number on the from-address.
Label and printer options
Match the layout to your printer. Australia Post can fall back to a supported layout for some Parcel, Express, and International products, so not every option applies to every service.
A4 layouts
Choose one to four labels per A4 page. Some postage products fall back to a supported A4 layout.
Thermal A6 labels
Print one label per thermal A6 page when that layout is available for the selected product.
Branded labels
Turn Australia Post branding on or off where the label product supports it.
Business name and phone
Show your trading name on the label. Phone is required for international shipments.
Delivery instructions
Copy the customer note onto the label, limited to 128 characters.
Signature on Delivery and Extra Cover
Toggle signature and transit cover on the shipment so the label matches the service you are buying.
Tracking information saved with the order
When Labels Pro creates a shipment, consignment details can be written back to WooCommerce. Staff can see them in the orders list and in the Labels Printer. Customers get a Track link to Australia Post, and the numbers can appear on the order and in emails.
- Admin orders-list column for consignment IDs
- Track button in My Account that opens the Australia Post tracking page
- Tracking details on the order and in WooCommerce emails when the shipment has been generated
- Pro still includes a manual tracking metabox if you bought postage outside WooCommerce
MyPost Business and eParcel
Both account types can create shipments and use bulk fulfilment. Label payment and pickup behaviour are not the same. Connect MyPost Business to WooCommerce if that is the account you use.

Frequently asked questions
Account, bulk printing, label sizes, tracking, and how Labels Pro differs from Pro.
Do I need a MyPost Business or eParcel account?
Yes. Labels Pro connects to a MyPost Business or eParcel account. Without one of those business accounts you can still use Pro for live checkout rates, but you cannot create shipments or print labels.
Can I print several labels at once?
Yes. Labels Pro includes Bulk Fulfillment in Australia Post Centre. You can filter WooCommerce orders, select several at once, resolve missing details, and download a combined label PDF.
Which label sizes are supported?
A4 layouts with one to four labels per page, and thermal A6 labels. Some Australia Post products fall back to a supported layout, so not every layout applies to every postage product.
Can I create international shipping labels?
Yes. For international shipments you can supply customs item descriptions, HS tariff codes, country of origin, dangerous-goods information, and who pays landed costs. A business phone number is required.
Does the plugin add tracking to WooCommerce orders?
Yes. Generated shipment and consignment details can be saved with the order, shown in the admin orders list, included in order emails, and opened through a Track link to Australia Post. The plugin does not show a live scan-event timeline in the customer account.
What is the difference between Pro and Labels Pro?
Pro shows live Australia Post rates at checkout and lets you enter a tracking number manually. Labels Pro includes those rates plus a business-account connection, shipment creation, label printing, bulk fulfilment, and tracking information generated from those shipments.
Can I use Australia Post contract rates at checkout?
Yes, with Labels Pro. Contract postage is optional and separate from printing labels. You can print labels without enabling contract rates at checkout.
Does printing a label automatically complete the order?
No. Printing a label does not automatically complete the WooCommerce order. In Bulk Fulfillment you can change selected order statuses through a separate Change order status action.
Stop retyping WooCommerce orders into Australia Post
Create shipments, print labels individually or in bulk, and keep tracking with the order—so fulfilment staff spend less time copying the same details into MyPost Business or eParcel.
