Stamps.com getting error while importing

I am trying to use Stamps.com, but where the heck is the batch file??? I can't find it anywhere.

Hello,

If there is anything else you need help with, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks!

Stamps.com

I just got done upgrading to 1.5.3, and stamps.com will no longer import orders. It appears to be a compatibility issue, but I have no clue what to edit, so that it will work again. I tested, and it can access the database by doing this:

https:// my site admin /stamps.php?shipping_access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&cmd=ping

I have already tried the latest stamps.com integration software, and they claim it has only been tested to work up to 1.5.0

Can't help with the Stamps.com issue other than to offer a suggestion.

ShipStation.com has a better interface, has the capability of applying rules and filters that you build to orders imported and has the ability to use both Stamps.com (or Endicia) and Express1 rates for printing USPS postage. Will also print UPS and Fedex labels if you have accounts with them. When shipping Priority and Express mail, Express 1 rates are better than Stamps.com

OH, and Stamps.com recently bought ShipStation.

If you are not subscribed to receive zencart notices, the zencart USPS plugin will be updated next week so that it will work with the USPS updates that go into effect on Sept 7, 2014.

I may have to do that. I just don't like how ship station is double the price of stamps.com

That was my thought too, initially. It doesn't take much shipping per month to offset the expense with timesavings and reduced frustration by not beating my head against the wall every time I had a Stamps.com problem and the months it took for them to address the problems.

I started the free trial of ship station, and I really like how it works, but it is going to cost me $65 a month, because I also import orders from Ebay, and Paypal.

Instead of upgrading from bronze to gold,

Try Changing your subscription plan and instead of clicking the upgrade button for silver or gold, look in the upper right of that window and try Increasing the number of selling channels by 2 which appears to keep the features of bronze but allowing 3 channels @ $10/channel instead of $20/channel.

Apparently they won't let me do that until the trial is over.


Does anybody have any suggestion on how to add logon credentials to ShippingZSettings.php, or another workaround to make this work again? I can always just use the sales record form Paypal to ship from, but it doesn't post back to zencart.

I recently upgraded to the new stamps.com software, and you now install it in the admin folder, and it goes straight to the database. It is working flawlessly, except it sets an error in the log folder every time.

I had to edit out the admin folder name, and login credentials on this:
