Beginning with ShopSite version 12, Canadian merchants can now offer their shoppers real-time shipping quotes from Canada Post.  The same seamless integration that US merchants already experience with USPS and other shippers is now available with Canada Post.  And, if you are interested in setting up Canada Post, they have a special $100 promotion going on now.
