Canada Post Module Help

[Guest]

-----

Origin Postal Code is illegal.

If you prefer to use canadapost as your shipping method, please contact the store owner.

I'm getting that error when using the default test settings.

I unistalled, reinstalled the module.

Changed the "shipping/packaging" postal code from V6J 1M2 to V6J1M2 and back and I keep getting the error.

My version is oscommerce-2.2ms2

and i'm using this contribution

Are they compatible?

 

And are these canada post test settings right?

Hey Guys,

 

I'm new to this and having some trouble of my own but from what I understand on the CPC_DEMO_XML thing is this.

 

In that string you needed to change it to your own customer ID from Canada post.

 

I had already done this before finding out my current web software didn't support Canada post (the reason I'm here..rebuilding my site) Go online canadapost.ca and sign up for an account. They will issue a customer ID it will look something like this.

 

CPC_YOURSTORE_COM

then you will also get a password.

 

Hope this helps and good luck.

Yes, I did that, still doesn't help

OK, I figured this out.

For some reason in the 'catalog/includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php" script the postal code is not getting changed when you enter through the admin.

 

So you have to manually change your postal code.

 

Go to line 67 of the canadapost.php script and change from:

 

$this->_canadapostOrigin(STORE_ORIGIN_ZIP, $country_name['countries_iso_code_2']);

 

to look like this:

 

$this->_canadapostOrigin('V5L 3K7', $country_name['countries_iso_code_2']);

 

Worked for me.
