What is MyPost Business?
Australia Post MyPost Business (MyPost Business) was introduced to streamline shipping processes for small businesses shipping less than 2,000 parcels per year. This article delves into the features, costs, and benefits of the MyPost Business service, highlighting its suitability for smaller enterprises, and its seamless integration with ReadyToShip.
Who is MyPost Business for?
MyPost Business is best suited for smaller and growing businesses. It is free to set up an account, and no contract or agreement is required to get started. Once set up, you can print your shipping labels and affix them to your parcels, which can then be dropped off at a Post Office or collected for a fee.
How much does MyPost Business cost?
MyPost Business has no minimum quantity of parcels and no contract fees or surcharges. It uses a pay-as-you-go model providing flexibility to users. Furthermore, there are discounts based on volume, and you are only charged for the services and rates you use per label.
Services and rates
MyPost Business offers a variety of different services: Parcel Post, Express Post, and International. ReadyToShip displays service rate quotes for each order, including any surcharges and GST. Additionally, the ReadyToShip platform automatically calculates these rates using the order destination and item weights imported from your store.

MyPost Business and ReadyToShip integration
Australia Post has a MyPost Business API available for integration with ReadyToShip. This allows ReadyToShip and MyPost Business users to process orders and automatically update tracking details directly within the ReadyToShip platform. Once integrated, ReadyToShip will show you a rate quote including any surcharges and GST, so you know exactly how much MyPost Business will cost to send an order. Then you can print and pay for labels directly from ReadyToShip, except for payment via PayPal, where you will still need to pay from your account in the MyPost Business website.
