New to Shipping API

[richtestani]

Hello -

 

I have installed the USPS package into OSC, and have signed up and recieved a ID & Password which I have setup in the mod.

 

The server is setup for the test server, however when I checkout I recieve an error 'An error occured with the USPS shipping calculations'.

 

Is this normal to recieve since I am using the test server, or is my setup incomplete?

 

I am new to dealing with shipping API's and XML so I am not sure what I am doing.

Thanks

Two things to check.

 

1. Make sure your shipping zip code is set up under the oscommerce admin->configuration->shipping

 

2. I believe you have actually have to call the 800 phone number at USPS to have them enable the site. (I could be wrong here though). Check a few threads for the 800 numbers.

I have setup the module for a test server which is what I am allowed to use it on according the USPS email. Do I have to call for my server to access that server as well?

 

Thanks for the input

Give 800-344-7779 a call and they will switch you to the proper server.

Tom,

Thanks for the help - that worked.

I guess the module isnt working with the test server for whatever reason.

 

 

Thanks again
