Features

Everything between the order and the doorstep

One app for booking, labels, tracking, returns and checkout prices, so the whole shipping routine lives in one place.

Book in bulk

Select one order or fifty, check the price, and book them all in one go. No copying addresses between systems.

Labels that print right

4x6 thermal or A4 sheets, with parcel presets so every booking starts with the right size and weight.

Automatic tracking

ParcelPilot checks Aramex for you and adds delivery progress to your Shopify orders. Fewer where-is-my-order emails, and a Refresh button when you want it now.

Live checkout rates

Show real Aramex prices at checkout, add your own markup, and offer free shipping over a threshold.

Multiple branches

Ship from several locations with a separate Aramex account for each. Every order books from the right place.

Returns and collections

Create a return from any booking and choose the day Aramex collects it from your customer.

Dangerous goods with declarationsComing soon

Book dangerous goods and have the declaration form made for you, saved for next time and ready to reprint.

International and customsComing soon

Book international consignments and complete the customs declaration without leaving Shopify.

Standard or Rural, automatically

Customers see only the one that fits their postcode, so nobody has to pick Urban or Rural. Works on every Shopify plan, Basic included.

Standard or Rural

Stop asking customers to choose Urban or Rural

On a Basic Shopify plan you can't show live carrier prices, so most stores offer two flat rates and hope customers pick the right one. ParcelPilot picks for them, using the delivery postcode.

Without ParcelPilot
Standard delivery $7.50
Rural delivery $12.00

The customer has to guess. Pick Standard for a rural address and you wear the rural surcharge. Pick Rural by mistake and they pay too much.

With ParcelPilot
Customer in a town
Standard delivery $7.50
Customer at a rural address
Rural delivery $12.00

Each customer sees one rate, the right one for their postcode, so there is nothing to choose.

1. Set your two prices

Create a Standard and a Rural flat rate in your Shopify shipping settings, at whatever prices you like. Tell ParcelPilot the names you used.

2. Turn it on

One switch. ParcelPilot loads its list of rural postcodes into your store and refreshes it every day.

3. Checkout does the rest

Each customer sees the single rate that matches their postcode. Standard is hidden for rural postcodes and Rural is hidden for the rest.

  • Works on every Shopify plan, with no carrier-calculated shipping needed
  • The rural list is learned from Aramex's own prices and updated daily
  • Postcodes that are rural on some streets only default to Standard, so nobody is overcharged. One switch sends them to Rural instead
  • A postcode checker in the app shows exactly which rate any postcode will get

In testing. Aramex changes its rural boundaries often and they don't match NZ Post's list. Check results for your own area before you rely on it.

Managed inside Shopify

One place to run your shipping

ParcelPilot opens in your Shopify admin like any other page. There is nothing else to log in to, host or keep up to date.

  • Opens from Apps in your Shopify admin, using your normal login
  • Orders, fulfilments and tracking stay in sync with Shopify automatically
  • Billed on your Shopify invoice, with a 14-day free trial and cancel any time
  • Light and quick, with no extra software to install
Multi-Branch

Shipping from more than one place?

Add each Aramex account as a branch, then link your Shopify locations to it. Orders book through the branch for the location they ship from.

Your Shopify locations
Dunedin warehouse
Auckland store
Pop-up or any other location
Your Aramex branches
Dunedin account
Auckland account
Default branch

1. Add a branch

Paste the AramexConnect credentials for each account and press Test. Each branch is a separate Aramex account, so pickups and billing follow the right one.

2. Link your locations

Choose which branch each Shopify location ships through. Anything you have not linked uses your default branch.

3. Book as normal

Select your orders and book. ParcelPilot picks the branch from the order's location, so there is nothing to choose each time.

Multiple branches are on the Multi-Branch plan. The Single Location plan includes one branch.

Returns and collections

Returns without the back and forth

When a customer needs to send something back, create the return from the original booking and pick the day Aramex collects it.

  • Start a return from any booking in the portal
  • Choose Next Available or a specific business day for collection
  • Cancel or rebook a return if plans change
  • Tracking follows the return the same way as an outgoing parcel

More of Aramex, built into Shopify

We are working on two things merchants ask about most. They are not available yet.

Dangerous goods Coming soon

Save a declaration once for the products you ship, then tick one box at booking. The declaration form is made for you with your sender and the customer's details filled in, and you can reprint it from your bookings any time. It will only work on Aramex accounts approved for dangerous goods.

International bookings Coming soon

Book international consignments and complete the customs declaration in the same place as your domestic orders, with the commercial details taken from your Shopify order.

FAQ

Good questions

Do I need an Aramex account?

Yes. ParcelPilot connects to your own AramexConnect account, so your rates, contract and billing stay exactly as they are with Aramex.

How long does setup take?

About a minute if you have your AramexConnect credentials ready: install the app, paste them in, and press Test. You can book your first parcel straight after.

Do I log in anywhere else?

No. ParcelPilot opens inside your Shopify admin, uses your normal Shopify login, and is billed on your Shopify invoice.

How does tracking work?

ParcelPilot checks Aramex for delivery progress automatically and updates your orders. Aramex does not push updates, so use Refresh Tracking on any booking when you want the latest straight away.

I ship from more than one place. Can I use it?

Yes, on the Multi-Branch plan. Add each Aramex account as a branch, then link your Shopify locations to them. Orders book through the branch for the location they ship from.

Are dangerous goods and international bookings available?

Not yet. Dangerous goods with declarations, and international bookings with customs declarations, are coming soon. Dangerous goods will only work on Aramex accounts approved for them.

Which countries are supported?

New Zealand and Australia, for merchants who ship with Aramex in those countries.

Do live checkout rates work on every Shopify plan?

Live carrier-calculated rates need a Shopify plan that includes carrier-calculated shipping (Advanced, Plus, or Grow on an annual plan). Standard and Rural flat rates work on any plan.

How does Standard or Rural work?

You create a Standard and a Rural flat rate in Shopify. ParcelPilot loads a list of rural postcodes into your store, and at checkout shows each customer only the rate that fits their postcode. It works on every plan, including Basic. The list is learned from Aramex prices and refreshed daily. This is in testing: Aramex changes its rural boundaries often and they do not match NZ Post's list, so check results for your own area.

Is my data safe?

Aramex credentials are encrypted at rest, customer details are only kept to run your bookings, and data is removed when you uninstall. See the privacy policy for details.

Is ParcelPilot made by Aramex?

No. ParcelPilot is an independent app that connects to Aramex shipping services. Aramex is a trademark of its owner.
