Overview

The XTENTO eParcel integration provides a bidirectional connection between Magento and Australia Post eParcel. The integration consists of two stand-alone packages:

• Order export out of Magento - shipment import into eParcel for label creation
• Tracking number export from eParcel - import into Magento to update orders/shipments/notify customers

XTENTO also offers a paid installation and configuration service. If you want XTENTO to install and configure the integration for you, please add the "XTENTO Installation Service" option when purchasing.
