UPS (United Parcel Service) integration advice

Hi

 

I am in the process of setting up my first osCommerce catalog. Everything went along perfectly until it was time to set up the client's UPS module, only to find that it doesn't exist any more. In case anybody else is wondering, there is no longer a standard osCommerce module to support UPS rate calculations, and none of the contributions seem to work, let alone install properly. If you didn't know this, take this as fair warning not to put in the hours and effort perfecting your catalog only to find this out the way I had to. I am at a loss of what to do. :blink:

 

There are UPS online tools, but you must jump through many, many hoops to integrate them.

 

Does anybody have any suggestions?

 

Surely there are others here who are concerned about this, since UPS is so widely used. I am hoping I am just overlooking an obvious fix to this.

 

Thanks in advance ;)

Thanks, guys.

 

Did you install these contributions with the original UPS module already installed or by themselves? I tried a couple of contributions but they did not work. I just assumed it was because I didn't have the original module. Maybe I'll give it another try.

 

Thanks so much!

 

We use the UPS XML contribution and have no problems. You have to get an API account from UPS, but that is easy and straightforward. Other then that it works great.

Well, I tried UPS Choice, and it didn't install completely. For example, its sort order never installed. I tried downloading it a few times and still had the same problem. I'm trying to get the UPS XML contribution running right now. It's causing a 500 error at checkout, but at least it installed! Hopefully I can work this kink out. Fingers crossed :thumbsup:

It doesn't matter if the original is installed or not. How did they fail for you?
