New Zealand Couriers Shipping, Built Into ShipStation

Yes. New Zealand Couriers connects to ShipStation for New Zealand-based ShipStation accounts. To set it up, go to Account Settings, open Shipping, choose Carriers, select the Your Carrier Accounts tab, click Add Carrier, and choose New Zealand Couriers. Then select NZCouriers from the Carrier Name drop-down and enter your Customer ID, Client ID, and Client Secret. Once you click Connect, the carrier is added to your account.

Before setup, gather the items ShipStation asks for and confirm your account meets the carrier requirements:

• A New Zealand-based ShipStation account
• An active New Zealand Couriers account
• Your New Zealand Couriers Carrier Name
• Your Customer ID
• Your Client ID
• Your Client Secret

You should also know that dimensions are required to create a New Zealand Couriers label in ShipStation. **Tip:** Keep those account credentials with your shipping team lead, so setup and future account checks stay simple.

Yes. Tracking is supported for the New Zealand Couriers integration, so your team can manage shipment status in the same place it creates labels and reviews orders. That keeps day-to-day work tighter, because staff do not need one screen for label creation and another for shipment visibility. It also helps customer service move faster when someone needs an update on an order.

No. The current New Zealand Couriers integration in ShipStation supports domestic shipping, not international shipping. If your business also ships across borders, ShipStation still gives you a strong path forward because it connects with 200+ global carriers in the same account. That lets you keep New Zealand Couriers for local delivery while running international orders through other carrier connections without rebuilding your workflow.

The lowest-cost option depends on the parcel, the service, and the destination, but ShipStation gives you more cost control. The New Zealand Couriers integration supports estimated rates, so your team can review shipping costs inside the same workflow used for labels and tracking. ShipStation also makes it easier to compare New Zealand Couriers against your other carrier options, which helps you avoid defaulting to the same service every time. If you ship across more than one carrier, Rate Shopper adds another layer of savings by helping you choose the best fit order by order.

ShipStation takes repeat tasks off your team’s plate. You can build automation rules that sort orders, apply tags, assign carrier and service choices, and prep shipments before packing starts. That matters when volume rises, because ShipStation automation cuts clicks per order by 40%, creates up to 15x more labels per hour, and cuts shipping errors by up to 100%. Pair that with batch printing, and New Zealand Couriers orders move through fulfillment with far less manual handling.

Yes. ShipStation gives you New Zealand Couriers in the same shipping workspace as 200+ global carrier integrations. That is useful when your business needs one carrier for local delivery, another for cross-border orders, and still another for special workflows or customer delivery preferences. Instead of training your team on separate tools, you keep orders, labels, automation, and shipment visibility in one system. **Tip:** Keep your most common carrier rules tied to order tags or store sources, so the right shipping path gets picked faster.

No. New Zealand Couriers and NZ Post are separate carriers. If your business uses New Zealand Couriers, ShipStation gives that carrier its own connection, its own account credentials, and its own shipment workflow inside your shipping setup. That makes carrier choice easier to manage, especially when your team wants clear control over which orders move through New Zealand Couriers and which ones route another way.
