EirLink also connects Shopify to your own An Post eCommHub business account, requiring API access and its API key, with postage billed directly at your agreed An Post rates. EirLink says new unfulfilled Shopify orders appear within seconds, labels can be created singly or in batches, and label creation returns tracking to Shopify, marks the order fulfilled and notifies the customer. If An Post accepts a parcel without returning a label, EirLink says it holds the shipment as Label pending and avoids submitting it again blindly.
