With USPS you register with them, enter the registration information in your shipping plug-in and it will make an XML call to the USPS servers to obtain the fees.]]> Tue, 02 Aug 2005 12:17:05 +0000 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=392&PID=1415&title=shipping-plugin-issues#1415 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=392&PID=1407&title=shipping-plugin-issues#1407 Author: Andy

Maximo,

I believe the USPS plug in is based on coding that is either supplied by that company or based on their rates and coded elsewhere.

The whole purpose of USPS subscription is, as I understand it that if they update their shipping prices then viola your shipping rates in salescart get updated at the same time.

Gotta be like this I recon mate- otherwise you could just crank in the rates from a USPS rate card- there would be no point in a plug in if it's not connected up digitally.

If you go this route you should plan in time for bug fixes and niggles- more than likely at USPS end.

Have you tried looking at the USPS website? Before I got my worldpay bridge from ComCity I spent a while talking to one of their tech chaps to get the full SP on what was involved in implementing and connecting- you should expect to spend time doing this with USPS- I would if I were you.

Check the Salescart manual that came with the software- shipping plug in are explained in there.

I would love this plug in but I'm UK based and none of the parcel players are up to speed on this.

Hope that helps you matey.]]> Fri, 29 Jul 2005 16:40:40 +0000 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=392&PID=1407&title=shipping-plugin-issues#1407 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=392&PID=1402&title=shipping-plugin-issues#1402 Author: maximo

Where do the rates come from? I was told that this was a subscription to the usps. How are the rates calculated]]> Fri, 29 Jul 2005 00:45:33 +0000 http://forum.salescart.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=392&PID=1402&title=shipping-plugin-issues#1402
