Canada Post in ShopSite v12

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.

Some of the other options not shown include Delivery Transit Time / Expected Delivery Date, Liability Coverage, and Preferred Language.  Prior to ShopSite v12 our Canadian merchants would need to create their own static shipping tables if they used Canada Post.  With our integration Canadian merchants now have the latest, most accurate rates as well as other services for their shoppers.
