What We Build

Rating

Request rates and expected delivery dates for Regular Parcel, Expedited Parcel, Xpresspost, Priority and international services, using your contract customer number where you have one so the results match your account rates.

Contract Shipping

For contract customers: create shipments and labels, group them into a transmit at end of day, and retrieve the manifest that Canada Post uses for pickup and billing.

Non-Contract Shipping

For businesses without a contract: create shipments and labels paid by the credit card on the Canada Post account, with no manifest step required.

Tracking

Pull tracking summaries and scan events into your order system, including expected delivery date and delivery confirmation, and notify customers from your own systems.

Returns

Generate authorised return labels for specific orders, or open return templates for recurring return flows, tied back to the original order.

International and Options

Customs data for USA and international services, plus shipment options such as signature, coverage, card for pickup or deliver to post office, validated against what each service allows.

How We Build Your Integration

01

Discovery

We confirm whether you ship under a Canada Post contract or as a non-contract customer, which services you use, and where shipment data needs to go.

02

Architecture

We design the XML request mapping, API key handling, manifest timing for contract accounts, and how labels and tracking return to your records.

03

Development

We build against the Canada Post REST web services, which exchange XML, with validation, readable error mapping and the connectors into your storefront or ERP.

04

Testing

We test in the Canada Post development environment with domestic, USA, international and return scenarios before switching to production keys.

05

Launch and Support

We go live with monitoring and follow Canada Post web service version changes so the integration keeps working.

Supported Platforms

We integrate with the platforms your business already uses, ensuring a smooth workflow from checkout to delivery.

Use Cases

Canadian Online Stores

Show Canada Post rates and delivery dates at checkout on Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom store, then create labels on fulfilment and sync tracking back to the order.

ERP and Warehouse Shipping

Create Canada Post shipments from sales orders in SYSPRO, Epicor Prophet 21 or NetSuite, print labels at the packing station, and write tracking numbers and shipping charges back.

Multi-Carrier Canadian Shipping

Rate shop Canada Post against Purolator, UPS or FedEx inside one shipping platform, with rules that pick the carrier by destination, weight and delivery speed.

Returns Programmes

Offer self-serve returns with Canada Post return labels issued from your portal or ERP, and track the return back to the warehouse.

Why Choose ZyroByte

Canadian Shipping Experience

We know the contract versus non-contract split, manifests and Canadian address rules that trip up generic integrations.

Connected to Your Systems

Canada Post wired into your ERP, WMS, OMS and storefront so shipment data flows without re-keying.

Correct Web Service Versions

Requests use the right versioned XML media types for each Canada Post service, which avoids silent failures when versions change.

Reliable Operation

Retries, timeouts and clear error handling so a Canada Post outage does not stop your warehouse.

Ongoing Maintenance

We keep the integration current with Canada Post service and version changes.

Secure Credentials

API keys and customer numbers stored encrypted server-side, never in client code.

Contract vs Non-Contract Canada Post Shipping

Canada Post offers two shipping web services. Contract Shipping is for businesses with a Canada Post agreement: shipments are created, transmitted at end of day and billed to the account through a manifest. Non-Contract Shipping is for businesses without an agreement: each shipment is paid by credit card on the account and no manifest is needed. We build for the model you use and can support both in one integration.

Canada Post Integration for Shopify and WooCommerce

We build Canada Post rating into Shopify through a carrier-calculated rates app, or into WooCommerce as a custom shipping method, and add label creation and tracking sync on fulfilment. Rates come from your own Canada Post account so checkout matches what you are billed.

Canada Post Integration for ERPs

We connect Canada Post to SYSPRO, Epicor Prophet 21, NetSuite and custom order systems so shipments are created from orders, labels print on the warehouse printer, manifests are transmitted on schedule, and tracking returns to the ERP automatically.

Canada Post Inside a Multi-Carrier Platform

If you ship with more than one carrier, we can build a complete shipping platform that rates Canada Post alongside Purolator, UPS, FedEx or an aggregator such as Flagship, and manages labels, tracking and returns in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Non-Contract Shipping service lets you create shipments and labels paid by the credit card on your Canada Post account, with no manifest step.

Contract shipments are grouped and transmitted, usually at end of day, and Canada Post returns a manifest used for pickup and billing. We automate the transmit and store the manifest with the shipments it covers.

Yes. We connect Canada Post to SYSPRO, Epicor Prophet 21, NetSuite, WMS and OMS platforms, and to Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy and custom storefronts.

Canada Post web services follow a REST style and exchange XML, and Canada Post also documents SOAP versions. We use REST unless an existing system requires otherwise.
