## Descripción

IH Shipping for Australia Post was born out of necessity. While looking for an economical
way to manage and sell inventory online using WordPress and WooCommerce, I hit a
major roadblock: the inability to calculate accurate shipping without expensive 
or overly complex third-party plugins.

Instead of compromising, I built this solution from the ground up. This plugin provides
a lightweight, API-driven way to get real-time Australia Post rates, including volumetric
box packing logic, without the «bloat» of larger enterprise tools.

Key Features:
 * Real-time Parcel Post rates via official Australia Post API. * 
Built-in volumetric box packer for accurate quoting. * Simple, «clean-code» setup
that won’t slow down your site. * Tailor-made for Australian small businesses.

### External services

This plugin relies on a third-party service to provide live shipping rates.

 * **Service:** Australia Post Digital API (https://digitalapi.auspost.com.au/)
 * **Purpose:** Required to obtain live postage rates for cart items.
 * **Data Sent:** This plugin sends the origin postcode, destination postcode, and
   package dimensions/weight to the Australia Post API. No personal user data is
   transmitted.
 * **Terms of Service:** https://auspost.com.au/terms-conditions
 * **Privacy Policy:** https://auspost.com.au/privacy

### Key Features

 * **Real-time Parcel Post Rates:** Connects directly to the official AusPost PAC
   API.
 * **Smart Box Packing:** Define your standard box sizes, and the plugin automatically
   finds the best fit for every order.
 * **Heavy Parcel Support:** Automatically splits orders over 22kg into multiple
   packages to ensure accurate quotes without API errors.
 * **Handling Fee:** Add a surcharge to cover packaging materials or time.
 * **Debug Mode:** Easy troubleshooting logs to check API connections.
 * **HPOS Compatible:** Fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order
   Storage.

## Instalación

 1. Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Zones.
 4. Select a shipping zone (e.g., «Australia») and click «Add shipping method».
 5. Select «Australia Post» from the dropdown and add it.
 6. **IMPORTANT:** You must obtain a free API Key from Australia Post Developers at
    https://developers.auspost.com.au/

## FAQ

### Do I need an Australia Post API Key?

Yes. This plugin will not work without a valid API Key.

### Is this an official Australia Post plugin?

No, this is an independent, third-party plugin designed to connect WooCommerce to
the official Australia Post API.

### How does the box packer work?

The plugin calculates the total volume of all items in the cart and finds the smallest
box from your list that can fit them. It then uses those dimensions to get an accurate
quote from AusPost.
