Registering with Canada Post

Go to Canada Post - Sign Up and complete your registration information. Once your request is processed by Canada Post, you will receive a response email directing you to call their Online Business Center (1-866-607-6301) and provide them with the registration information that was included in the email.

Canada Post currently uses a third party API system to connect merchants, and they will provide you with further instructions.

Additional Considerations

Keep in mind, all shipping through Canada Post is done in kilograms, not pounds. Your store can be changed to use Kilograms as the weigh default by navigating to Settings>Shipping, scrolling to the Advanced Settings and changing the "Measure Shipping Weights In" variable to kilograms from pounds.
