How to integrate your Shopify store with a courier

Manually copying order details into a courier system is slow and error-prone. Integrating your Shopify store with a courier automates the whole flow — orders, labels and tracking — so fulfilment takes seconds per order. Here's how it works with MailPlus.

What integration actually does

A proper courier integration connects your store to the shipping platform so that:

  • New Shopify orders sync automatically — no manual data entry.
  • Shipping labels generate and print in a few clicks.
  • Tracking updates flow back, and your store sends automatic shipping notifications to customers.

Integrating Shopify with MailPlus, step by step

  • Create a free MailPlus account to access ShipMate, the free shipping platform. There's no lock-in contract and no minimum volume.
  • Connect your Shopify store to ShipMate so orders sync automatically into one dashboard.
  • Review synced orders and validate addresses — ShipMate includes Google address lookup that auto-checks suburb, state and postcode to prevent delivery errors.
  • Print labels in a few clicks, including bulk label printing for multiple orders at once.
  • Book pickup with your local owner-operator, who collects same-day when booked before the cut-off.
  • Track everything in real time — and customers get automatic updates from both ShipMate and your Shopify store.

For larger or custom systems

If you run a warehouse system or need automated bookings at scale, the MailPlus API connects your own systems directly for label generation, live tracking and automatic customer notifications. It's available with MailPlus Express and suits 3PLs and businesses with custom shipping software.

Why integrate with MailPlus specifically

MailPlus is an Australian courier network founded in 1997, with approximately 300 vehicles across 120+ franchises Australia-wide. The integration is free, the pricing is flat-rate up to 5kg, and pickups are handled by a local owner-operator — so the automation is backed by a real person who knows your business. Full details are on the ShipMate page.
