Customer Suggestions - Developer/APIs

Welcome to the official feedback forum for New Zealand Post Online. If you have any suggestions for how we can improve our APIs – or our general offering to developers – let us know!

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

- enter your idea (new feature, fix bug, etc) -

Develop carrier-calculated shipping for e-commerce platforms like Shopify

It would make it so much easier to deal with postage with e-commerce systems if rates could be calculated automatically. Further, I believe it would bring in new customers to New Zealand Post as merchants would opt for the simplicity of using NZ Post due to such a service.

Currently waiting on Shopify to complete their re-modelling of how shipping works.
make error messages more useful

At the moment if I want to display a custom error message I have to parse the result and check for the word Error and some of the errors are very long and unhelpful, it would be great if you could separate out the error description itself into a separate field or have a field added with the error code and list error codes on the documentation so that developers have more control over how errors are displayed.

Yeah – the errors really need some work – have added to our backlog.
Should be able to pick up from a depot if you call in advance or something like that.

Add letter rates to Rate Finder API

Incorporate letter rates (for both domestic and international) into the Rate Finder as it only gives prices for parcels.

If an item being shipped internationally is under 10mm width and 200grams in weight it could be shipped as a letter instead. It would be nice to to see this option under the results from the Rate Finder.

If an item is shipped domestically and is under 20mm and 1kg I think it can be shipped as a letter. It would be good to see these options too.

That would mean the Rate Finder API is a one stop shop for getting cost of sending goods and documents.
