Can I use Canada Post for both Shopify and Amazon orders?
Yes, Fulfil's ERP automatically imports orders from Shopify, Amazon, and other channels. You can ship all these orders using Canada Post, compare rates with other carriers, and sync tracking information back to each sales channel automatically.
Does Canada Post integration support rate shopping?
Yes, Fulfil's Canada Post integration provides rate shopping. When you're ready to ship an order, the system queries Canada Post for available service levels and displays rates side-by-side, allowing you to select the most cost-effective option.
Can I print Canada Post shipping labels from my WMS?

Does tracking information sync automatically?

Can I use my own Canada Post account and negotiated rates?
Yes, Fulfil integrates with your existing Canada Post account, so you continue to benefit from any negotiated rates or discounts you've secured. You simply provide your Canada Post API credentials during setup.
Can I pre-generate Canada Post labels to speed up fulfillment?
Yes, Fulfil can automatically generate Canada Post labels when orders start picking or get packed. This is done through automation rules that trigger label generation in the background, so labels are ready by the time the shipment reaches the packing station. This significantly speeds up your fulfillment workflow.
How does rate shopping work with Canada Post?
Fulfil's rate shopping compares Canada Post rates against other carriers by considering shipping addresses, package weights and dimensions, special services, and base rates (including surcharges and discounts). This ensures an accurate, apples-to-apples comparison so you can select the most cost-effective shipping option.
Can I add shipping insurance to Canada Post shipments?
Yes, Fulfil can automatically set insurance amounts on Canada Post shipments using automation rules. You can configure insurance as a fixed amount, percentage of shipment value, or percentage of shipment cost. The insurance is applied before the label is generated.
Does Canada Post integration support batch label printing?
Yes. Fulfil's WMS allows you to batch multiple shipments together and print all Canada Post labels at once. You can print in PDF, PNG, or ZPL format, making it compatible with both standard and thermal label printers for high-volume operations.
