SCAN 03 · MANIFEST

Everything between “order placed” and “parcel posted”

One dashboard replaces the spreadsheet, the copy-paste and the eCommHub portal tab you keep losing.

Field 01 — Import

Shopify orders, imported automatically

Connect your store once. New unfulfilled orders show up in EirLink within seconds via webhooks, with no addresses to copy and paste.

Field 02 — Labels

An Post labels in seconds

Generate single labels or batches of up to 100 with one click. Download a merged PDF and print the lot.

Field 03 — Rates

Your An Post account, your rates

EirLink connects to your own eCommHub API key. Postage bills straight to your An Post account. We never sit between you and your carrier.

Field 04 — Sync

Fulfilment synced back

The moment a label is created, the tracking number is pushed to Shopify, the order is marked fulfilled, and your customer gets notified.

Field 05 — Channels

CSV and manual orders

Selling at markets or on other channels? Import a CSV or add an order by hand. Same labels, same tracking.

Field 06 — Tracking

Tracking that updates itself

EirLink polls An Post for scan events every half hour, so the dashboard always shows where every parcel is.

SCAN 04 · IN TRANSIT

01 Print

Friday dispatch, done before your coffee goes cold

Select up to 100 orders and create every label in one go. EirLink talks to An Post in parallel, shows you live progress per parcel, and hands you a single merged PDF. Load the printer once and ship the lot.

02 Track

“Where’s my order?” answers itself

EirLink polls An Post for scan events every thirty minutes and pushes tracking numbers into Shopify the moment a label exists. Your customers get their shipping email with live tracking, and you get fewer support messages.

Questions, answered

Q.01Do I need my own An Post account?

Yes. EirLink connects to your own An Post eCommHub API key. That's a feature, not a limitation. You keep your negotiated rates, postage bills directly to your An Post account, and you can stop using EirLink any time without losing your carrier relationship.

Q.02How do I get an eCommHub API key?

Log in to your An Post eCommHub account and request API access, or ask your An Post account manager. Once you have the key, paste it into EirLink. We verify it against the live API instantly and store it encrypted.

Q.03Does EirLink mark orders as fulfilled in Shopify?

Yes. As soon as a label is created, the tracking number is pushed to Shopify, the order is marked fulfilled, and Shopify sends your customer their shipping-confirmation email with live tracking.

Q.04What if I sell outside Shopify?

Import a CSV (markets, Etsy exports, wholesale) or key orders in manually. They join the same queue, get the same labels and the same automatic tracking updates.

Q.05Is there a markup on postage?

Never. An Post bills postage directly to your own account at your own rates. EirLink does not resell labels, handle postage payments, or take a cut; it is the free software layer around your logistics workflow.

Q.06Is my data safe?

Your An Post API key is encrypted at rest, all traffic runs over TLS, and your data is processed within the EU in line with GDPR. You can disconnect a store or delete your key at any moment.
