First let me say that i am totally impressed with this software package that i just happened upon. I am not a programmer, but was able to have a test shopping cart up and running on my site in a matter of half a day. That is impressive! Although the package seems to be geared towards web developers and programmers and not necessarily business owners, i feel that just about anyone can get a quality shopping cart running in no time.
I am also impressed with the forum support that is available for the product. I have been able to get everything going (except the shipping module) very quickly with the help of the messages left on the forums. Lastly, i can't believe the price is so cheap! Who can possibly complain about that?
I was so impressed with the package that i went ahead and signed up for the Gold membership package--the price is is awesome!
Now for my problem: I cant seem to get the shipping modules working with the exception of FedEx? Both USPS and UPS send me a "UPS(or USPS) module error: shipping cost not determined!" I have tried just about every possible configuration possible in the management settings all to no avail. I registered with USPS and they gave me a user id and a test server to use (http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll) which i entered in the shipping manager module--no luck.
I am missing something (management very obvious) but just can see it. It is driving me a little batty.
my settings are:
Allow Shipments via which services?
(selecting yes or no on a shipping method does not change shipping options on order forms)
USPS: yes UPS (non-XML): yes
How do you wish to connect to UPS (non-XML) / USPS XML? If perl is installed in a fairly modern way, then the LWP library should be present. If not, then the http-lib has been included here as a backup. Note: UPS (non-XML) works only on http-lib. USPS XML works on both. http-lib
USPS API URL: http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll
USPS API Userid: (id usps gave me)
USPS ORIGIN ZIP: 85748
I haven't received my Gold Membership confirmation yet so i don't have any of the updates it provides yet.
I certainly will appreciate an assistance i can get from you all.
