Steps
Confirm the business has an active Australia Post eParcel or StarTrack contract, since API access requires a contracted account
Register for a developer account and obtain the eParcel account number, API key, and API secret after approval
Submit a shipment request with sender, recipient, and parcel details to the shipping endpoint
Retrieve the generated label and tracking identifier from the response
Use the tracking endpoint to retrieve status events for the created shipment
For returns, use the domestic return label operation rather than creating a new outbound shipment
Known gotchas
Direct API integration is gated behind an approved eParcel or StarTrack contract — a standard retail Australia Post account cannot call the API
Approval and credential issuance is a manual review step, not instant self-service signup, so build in lead time before go-live
International label support depends on destination country and declared content, so not every domestic capability is available for cross-border shipments
