This is a new version that I was working on a long while back. I can't recall whether it was fully tested to work with the latest version of USPS. Anyone care to install it on their cart and find out?
USPS.com Auto-fill-v1.7.zip
WARNING: use caution and don't try this on a production site, it is not tested thoroughly.
I just look and the version I am still using is 1.6, this was the last version I knew anything about. The only thing that is working on ver 1.6 is clicking on the "USPS button" will take you to the correct USPS page to manually type in billing and shipping information. This does save a little time.
I will load this into my 1.54 testing version this weekend and see what happens and report back.
I am also one that would be very happy to pay into a pot to get this mod working again.
I did not install it after looking it appeared to be about the same. Now since the USPS rate change you can use one of the shippers that charges a monthly charge and save money due to getting commercial rates. Since I don't have that many packages to ship per day Pitney Bowles is $15.99/mo. I wished someone would write an app to tie ZenCart into their PB/Smart software.
Can someone try installing and testing it? With some valid feedback, we can confirm whether it is working, or make a fix if needed.
I forgot to say why I did not install and test the software.
The USPS as many know has change the pricing structure. What this means is that if Click-N-Ship did work it is too costly to use. Example if you shipped 300 items per month by Priority Mail padded envelope it will cost $6.80/package to any zone in US. If you sign up with Stamps.com pay them $15.99/month the same package would cost $6.10/package. Stamps.com gives the wholesale price. So $0.70 difference times 300 package = $210.00 - $15.99 = $194.00 savings to use Stamps.com or someone else. Stamps.com just bought the other one Endiac or ?. Or use Ship More (? sp) I think is $24.00/month.
I just found another company called EasyPost that may be the answer and they provides the API"s and installation manuals for all shipping company's. They provide the same features as Stamps.com like tracking etc. They charge $.05 per package no monthly charge. They give the wholesale commercial base price and commercial base Price+. Using the same example above the 300 packages would only cost $10.00 plus the wholesale commercial base price.
Someone knowing PHP should be able to take AutoFil Click in Ship and delete parts that does not work and merge EasyPost USPS API. The part of AutoFill Click-n-Ship that still work is when you click on the USPS button it will go to the USPS login page and change it to go to EasyPost API.
If someone out there that knows php should be able to plug in the API's and we have a much better program than before since they also have the API for UPS, FedEx, and several other shippers.
From their web for USPS API: If you're new to EasyPost, our Getting Started guide will help you get up and shipping quickly.
The samples on this page are available for cURL and all of our client libraries.
Any person getting this to work would be our long awaited hero or is it too good to be true.
Yep, click-n-ship now pays retail pricing.
Stamps.com account within ShipStation uses Comm Plus Pricing for $5.90 small flat rate box & much easier interface than the Stamps.com interface. Stamps now owns shipstation.
