Stamps.com integration - Couple small bugs need addressing

it would seem fairly simple to modify the $shipping_method variable to match what stamps.com is expecting in ShippingZZencart.php, with a couple of statements so that the correct method is selected, so it will work correctly with a default install of ZenCart.

//get shipping method from order info
$shipping_method=$this->GetFieldString($zencart_orders_temp->info,"shipping_method");

for someone at stamps.com, I modified ShippingZZencart.php

Code:

---

// fix priority
if($shipping_method=="United States Postal Service (Priority Mail (2 - 3 days))")
$shipping_method="USPS Priority";

---

I now see in the XML being sent to your server:
<ShipMethod><![CDATA[USPS Priority]]></ShipMethod>
but the stamps.com application still shows these as First Class

Hi Henry,

We are currently investigating shipping method import issues and hope to resolve this in the near future.

Thanks!

Hi Chuck,
I just wanted to confirm that's the value your server is looking for. Maybe all the records I was looking at were imported to the stamps.com server before I made the change. I am assuming that once the records are imported they are not re-imported if I click refresh from the desktop app.
Thanks,
Henry

Hi Henry,

Currently, it seems that this functionality is not working as it should; all orders seem to be defaulting to First-Class Mail. Hopefully we'll have this sorted this out in the near future. Once everything is fixed on our end, I'll be sure to update here and provide any necessary instructions to make it easy to get it working for everyone.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may be causing.

Thanks!

If that is the case, it would appear to be a system wide issue, and not specific to Zen-Cart. The XML specs for direct import show:
<MailClass>priority</MailClass>
Maybe the class values you posted were not what the server is expecting ?

Is there a way to make the Hide Postage box and send email automatically get checked instead of having to open each order and check manually.

Not so bad when you have a few orders, but when you have several hundred, it's a pain as we found out.

Hide postage & send email automatically...

Have you verified the checkboxes in "Manage Profile" for your ecommerce site.

I wish that they would fix the 'scripting error' that started a few weeks ago related to the https://my.shiprush.com/javascript/jqdialog.min.js and the "Unsecure data" errors on an HTTPS page being delivered.

From the latest update, I see that Stamps.com is introducing code for different ecommerce applications before they correct the problems that exist with current applications.

Thanks RixStix,

I had missed that.

Just what I needed.....

If you do any International shipping using Stamps.com, you'll save yourself headaches if you go ahead and install the latest version.

International shipping has been disabled in all previous versions.

It took a call to the support group and a "special" file to clean the Windows XPsp3 registry because of something within the latest install file.
