How do I set up UPS shipping module?

[Calvin Steiner]

I would like to know how to integrate zen-cart with the UPS shipping quote function. Do we need to setup an account with ups to do that?

You can go to the Modules ... Shipping ... and click on the UPS module and click INSTALL ...

If you are in the US and have setup your 5 Digit Zip Code then you should be able to get the rates ...

what is the process to set up UPS so that it can handle non-US locations like Puerto Rico ?

[Ajeh]

You should just be able to install the UPS shipping module and set your 5 digit US zip code in the Shipping/Packaging ...

What weight are you shipping?

What is the Ship From Address?

What is the Ship To Address?

What are your settings for the Shipping/Packaging for the:
Maximum Weight?

Small/Medium Tare?

Large Tare?

Turns out that this is an either or situation. To use USPS, the country must be United States. To use UPS, the country must be Puerto Rico. As such, it is not possible to get shipping fees for both UPS and USPS for Puerto Rico

[Ajeh]

In v1.3.9, it is possible if the customer picked the Country Puerto Rico as there is a translation in v1.3.9 version of USPS for this ...

I forget if I added that to the v1.3.8 update for USPS ... but you can look and test it ...

I have setup Paypal express payment and shipping point zip code and installed the UPS module. However, I don't see the shipping cost
rate when I check out (testing my site). When should I get the rate displayed?

Edit the PayPal Express Checkout Payment Module and see what your setting is for:

Express Checkout: Require Confirmed Address
Do you want to require that your (not-logged-in) customers use a *confirmed* address when choosing their shipping address in PayPal?
(this is ignored for logged-in customers)

Yes
No

I setup Paypal express checkout. I checked to use paypal confirmed shipping address for my customers.

Should I set the shipping charge rate in Paypal site, or in my Zen-cart/admin?

Since you are using Zen Cart, you should set up your shipping in Zen Cart.

Zen Cart DOES NOT use shipping calculations from PayPal.
