IH Shipping for Australia Post

وەسف

IH Shipping for Australia Post was born out of necessity. While looking for an economical way to manage and sell inventory online using WordPress and WooCommerce, I hit a major roadblock: the inability to calculate accurate shipping without expensive or overly complex third-party plugins.

Instead of compromising, I built this solution from the ground up. This plugin provides a lightweight, API-driven way to get real-time Australia Post rates, including volumetric box packing logic, without the “bloat” of larger enterprise tools.

Key Features:
* Real-time Parcel Post rates via official Australia Post API.
* Built-in volumetric box packer for accurate quoting.
* Simple, “clean-code” setup that won’t slow down your site.
* Tailor-made for Australian small businesses.

Do I need an Australia Post API Key?

Yes. This plugin will not work without a valid API Key.

Is this an official Australia Post plugin?

No, this is an independent, third-party plugin designed to connect WooCommerce to the official Australia Post API.

How does the box packer work?

The plugin calculates the total volume of all items in the cart and finds the smallest box from your list that can fit them. It then uses those dimensions to get an accurate quote from AusPost.
