UPS Shipping using RESTful/OAuth API [Support Thread]

[bumba000]

No I had not. It works now! Thank you!

I must be missing something in the docs or the github ... I can't find/figure out

UPS Api Class
If your site has an class-override for the shipping module's default (UpsOAuthApi), enter it here. If the class-file doesn't exist, this module will be automatically disabled!

What is this and where do I get it? Please and Thank you.

Best,
John

That's a way that site owners/developers can program any overrides they want for the UPS handling by this shipping method. I do need to provide some additional documentation (on GitHub). Essentially, you'd use the /includes/modules/shipping/upsoauth/UpsOAuthApi.php as the parent class and provide any method-overrides needed there.

In most cases, the as-provided processing should be good enough!

Hi @lat9, thanks for your reply.

It seems ground saver cannot be found under ups website. Maybe it is still a pilot program now. Here are some developer information I found which are surepost related. I'm not sure if any difference between surepost and ground saver. Maybe UPS just rebranded surepost into ground saver.

Here is the service codes for surepost (posted back in 2017):

92: UPS SurePost Less than 1LB
93: UPS SurePost 1LB or greater
94: UPS SurePost BPM
95: UPS SurePost Media Mail

At least, the example shipping label pirateship uses for ground saver is surepost label.

I took a peek at those links; it looks like a site needs to register with UPS to receive SurePost quotes. Did you do that?

Correct. Surepost/ground saver is not enabled by default. You need to contact your sales/account agent to enable it. I'm not sure if the API require the same thing or not.

We haven't used surepost yet since it is not a "UPS" only shipping method. There is a "chance" that it will be delivered by USPS instead of UPS, which is bad. It is not like Fedex ground economy, which is only shipped through Fedex, not USPS.

With SurePost enabled for your UPS account, if you turn on the UPSOauth shipping module's debug, are you seeing SurePost quotes coming back?

Actually, I'm not sure if surepost is enabled in my account. We haven't signed anything from our UPS agent yet regarding surepost.

Regarding the log, I just tried it on my end. In the log file generated from UPS plug-in, I can only find the shipping methods enabled in the plug-in. For example, I'm only enabled UPS ground and UPS 3day in the plug-in. In the log file, I can only find titles as "UPS Ground" and "UPS 3 Day Select". No 2 day, no nextday air, no surepost...

The old UPS API had a way to look up tracking numbers based on the order ID that a shipper used:

$tracking = new Ups\Tracking($accessKey, $userId, $password);
$tracking->setShipperNumber($my_shipper_number);
$shipment = $tracking->trackByReference($order_id);

Have you seen anything like this in your travels with the new API? It seems like they expect you to have the tracking number.
(The use case is shipping packages using UPS Worldship and then wanting to pull the tracking numbers into Zen Cart.)
