Australia Couriers for WooCommerce — Australia Post and StarTrack

Australia Couriers connects Australia Post and StarTrack to WooCommerce with no middleman: prices at checkout, shipments from the order page, PDF labels, a carrier order for the pickup and tracking — on your own keys and contract.

Australia Post retail prices only need the free PAC calculator key, no contract. Labels, contract prices and StarTrack need an eParcel or StarTrack contract and a Shipping and Tracking API key. Sendle is not included: the company stopped trading in early 2026 and its API no longer answers.

What the buyer sees

At checkout every service is its own delivery option with a price and delivery days: Parcel Post, Express Post, Australia Post international services, StarTrack Road Express and Premium. When the carrier refuses a parcel (weight, size, postcode), the option is simply not shown. When the API does not answer, the buyer sees the fixed price you set and the order still goes through. Works on the classic and the block checkout.

What the admin gets

On the order page you pick the service, weight, dimensions and Authority to Leave, create the shipment and download an A4 or A6 label. Until it is lodged the shipment can be deleted. A carrier refusal is shown as plain text and stays in the order notes.

The AU despatch page collects the day’s shipments: you lodge them with the carrier as one order and print the order summary PDF for the driver. The tracking number goes to the order, the customer account and the e-mails; a number from MyPost Business can be added by hand.

How it works, step by step

1. You enter the PAC key and, with a contract, the Shipping and Tracking API key and account numbers.
2. You add the Australia Post and StarTrack methods to a WooCommerce shipping zone.
3. The buyer sees prices and delivery days at checkout.
4. You create the shipment and print the label from the order.
5. At the end of the day you lodge the shipments on the AU despatch page.
6. The tracking number goes to the order, the e-mails and the customer account.

Under the hood

• Requests go straight to Australia Post, not through our server.
• Keys and passwords are stored encrypted.
• PDF labels stay in the shop and can be downloaded again.
• Pro tracking asks the API in batches and stays within the Australia Post rate limit.

The plugin is not on wordpress.org yet: the free version and Pro are the same archive from this page. Without a key it works as the free version.
