I am looking to add an International Courier service to our site.

I have 360 Plan on our site. I am looking to add an International Courier service as well as the existing Australia Post international services we already have available to customers.

I would like LIVE rates available at checkout (like with Aust Post)

We already have existing FedEx and TNT accounts. Can these be integrated with an API to offer this alternative to customers?

Or is there another add on or service we can use to add this to the customer shipping choices?

regards Paul

Unfortunately Neto doesn't have many international carrier integrations, and the freight aggregator integrations don't offer live rates. The summary is here, but AusPost is pretty much it:

Your best option would be to manually add rate tables for your international carriers. It's a pain, but I find they are often much simpler than domestic tables. FedEx for example only have 7 or 8 regions for international pricing whereas our domestic AusPost rate tables have dozens!

Rate tables also load pricing much more quickly than API, and give you fine-grained control over bundling in surcharges, which isn't always possible by API.

Thanks very much for the rapid response Erik. Is there a maropost instruction file or video on how to do this?

Thanks again. Paul.

There's an explanation of the process here for AusPost, although it's exactly the same for any other carrier:

The spreadsheet import can be tricky to get your head around. Try manually adding a few regions and weight breaks first then export those to get a good template spreadsheet you can work from. Or if it's not that many rates, just type them all in!
