sefoil Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 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 ;) JP

vasttech Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 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. osCommerce Knowledge Base osCommerce Documentation Contributions
sefoil Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 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!

Jack_mcs Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 It doesn't matter if the original is installed or not. How did they fail for you?

sefoil Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 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: Jen It doesn't matter if the original is installed or not. How did they fail for you? Jack
