Spiffy Stores provides an easy to use integration with MyPost Business. There are a number of steps that you need to go through in order to connect your store to your Australia Post MyPost Business account.

You can read more about how the integration between Spiffy Stores and MyPost Business works here [https://auspost.com.au/business/shipping/mypost-business/print-shipping-labels].

Australia Post have also provided a getting started guide on how to connect your store to your MyPost Business account and you can view it here - [https://auspost.com.au/content/dam/auspost_corp/media/documents/mypost-business-platform-partner-integration-guide.pdf]

== 1. Establish a MyPost Business account with Australia Post ==
You can sign up for a new account at [https://auspost.com.au/business/shipping/mypost-business]

You can pay for your shipments using a credit card or by using an existing Australia Post charge account. You will need to provide credit card details in order to proceed.

== 3. Submit a request for API access ==

<gallery widths="200px" heights="200px" class="right">
Image:Eparcel setup2.jpg|Provide your account details
</gallery>

Please fill in the form with your contact details, including your Australia Post Parcel Contract Account number. This is the account that is used to charge for the shipments submitted via the API.

Also, please ensure that you request access to all three services, ''Tracking'', ''Product Pricing'' and ''Lodgement and Label Printing''.

<gallery widths="200px" heights="200px" class="right">

</gallery>

On the following page of the form, please specify ''Spiffy Stores'' as the Platform Partner.

Once you're finished, submit the form for approval. Generally, you should expect to receive a reply within one business day.

== 4. Activate your API access ==

<gallery widths="200px" heights="200px" class="right">
Image:Eparcel setup4.jpg|New Projects Menu Item
</gallery>

You'll receive an activation email from Australia Post once your request has been approved.

Just click on the ''Log in'' link in the email and you'll be taken to the Developer Center page, where you'll find that there's an additional ''Projects'' link in the toolbar.

If you don't receive a response from Australia Post, then you can send a follow-up email to [mailto:Customer_Connectivity@auspost.com.au Customer_Connectivity@auspost.com.au] quoting your Parcel Contract account number and the email address you used to create your Developer Center Account.

== 5. Create your first project ==

<gallery widths="200px" heights="200px" class="right">
Image:Eparcel setup5.jpg|Create a project
</gallery>

You need to follow the following steps in order to create a project.

Click on ''Create new project'' to begin.

<gallery widths="200px" heights="200px" class="right">
Image:Eparcel setup6.jpg|Name the project
</gallery>

Give the project a name, such as ''Spiffy Stores'', so that you'll know what the API key relates to.

Click ''Create project'' to create the project.

== 6. Create an API key ==

Image:Eparcel setup7.jpg|Create an API key
</gallery>

<gallery widths="200px" heights="200px" class="right">
Image:Eparcel setup8.jpg|Create an API key
</gallery>

You don't have any API keys yet, so click on the links to create one.

== 7. Choose a name and a password for the API key ==

<gallery widths="200px" heights="200px" class="right">
Image:Eparcel setup9.jpg|Choose a name and password
</gallery>

You need to choose a name and a password for the API key. The name can be something simple, like ''API Key 1''.

Choose a password that is at least 8 characters long and contains at least one capital letter and one digit. Write the password down, as you'll need it later to activate your Parcel Contract fulfilment service in your store.

<gallery widths="200px" heights="200px" class="right">
Image:Eparcel setup10.jpg|A generated API key
</gallery>

When the API key has been generated, you'll see it in the list of existing keys.

You'll also need the ''API Key'' value when you activate the eParcel fulfilment service in your store.

== 8. Enable the API Services ==

<gallery widths="200px" heights="200px" class="right">
Image:Eparcel setup11.jpg|Enable Services
</gallery>

Next, you need to enable the services associated with the API key.

First, click on the ''Services'' link to go to the Services page.

Then, for each of the services listed, click on the ''On/Off'' switch to enable each one. Once they are all enabled, click on ''Update'' to save your changes.

It's recommended that you logoff from your account, and then login again to verify that everything is correct. Please check that all of the services have been enabled as requested.

Once this step is complete, you're ready to [[Activating Australia Post eParcel Fulfilment|activate the eParcel fulfilment service in your store]] using your eParcel Account number, API Key and password.
