Lifetimely: How to Connect Addition (Australia Post)

At a glance

Connect Addition to Lifetimely to pull your exact Australia Post shipping costs automatically into your profit reports, so your margins reflect what you actually paid to ship.

What this enables

• Exact Australia Post shipping costs feed into your Profit & Loss and margin calculations.
• Ask the Profit Agent shipping-aware questions, like "Which products are least profitable after shipping?"

How it works

Once connected, your Australia Post shipping costs are matched to your Shopify orders and take priority over manual or flat shipping rates for those orders. In Lifetimely's shipping cost order, Australia Post sits just below ShipStation and ShipBob — so if you also use one of those, its costs take precedence for orders it fulfilled.

What you'll need

• An Addition account with admin access.
• Admin access to your Lifetimely account.

Setup

1. In Lifetimely, go to Integrations and select Addition (or go directly to https://lifetimely.useamp.com/integrations/addition ).
2. Connect your Addition account. [Connection steps to be confirmed before publishing.]
3. Lifetimely tests the connection before saving, so an invalid entry is flagged straight away.

Once saved, your Australia Post cost data begins syncing automatically. The first import can take from a few minutes up to a few hours.

Notes

• Lifetimely only reads data from Addition — it never writes to or changes anything in your Addition or Australia Post account.
• Disconnecting Addition removes the shipping-cost data that came from it. Costs you imported by CSV are kept. If you want to preserve this history before disconnecting, export it to CSV first.
• For how often data refreshes after the first import, see How Often Does My Integration Data Sync?
