Shippit
Shippit is an Australian shipping platform that books your parcels with the couriers on your Shippit account, including courier accounts you've connected at your own negotiated rates. The connection sends fulfillment orders out to Shippit and brings tracking and shipping cost back into SKU.io.
What moves each way
| Direction | What moves | When |
|---|---|---|
| Out to Shippit | Fulfillment orders: the delivery address, receiver, items, parcels, and courier type | When you submit the fulfillment order to your Shippit connection |
| In from Shippit | Shipments and tracking numbers, once the parcel is despatched | Instantly through Shippit's webhook, which SKU.io registers for you, with a check every 30 minutes |
| In from Shippit | Shipping cost, in AUD | With the shipment, when Record shipping costs is on |
| In from Shippit | Your Shippit couriers and service levels | Nightly |
Shippit holds no stock, so it doesn't receive your products or inventory.
Couriers on your own rates
Your courier accounts and rates live in Shippit, not in SKU.io. Connect your own courier accounts in Shippit. The Couriers tab then lists every courier and service level enabled on your Shippit account, and SKU.io records whatever price Shippit charges for each shipment.
Booking happens in Shippit
SKU.io creates each order in Shippit. Book it with a courier and print the label in Shippit itself. SKU.io has no booking button, so book each order in Shippit even when Auto-book orders is on. Once Shippit despatches the parcel, the tracking comes back to SKU.io.
