I can't determine if there is a FedEx option for Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Any info on that?
not at this time
I'm not sure I understand why it is failing for v1.3.8 ...
neither do I,
and I dont have any fedex credentials to test with anymore.
all I have been told is that it dosnt display
I'm having the same problem. A client can see Fedex quotes when using "Estimate Shipping" from their shopping cart but they don't show on the shipping page when checking out.
This is a result of what may be a quirk in the FedEx module, reported a couple months ago.
The following may help ...
You can change your site's template operation by editing your custom tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php file:
line 64:Move the // from the 2nd line to the 3rd line, like this:Code:// allows FedEx to work comment comment out Standard and Uncomment FedEx
// if ($quotes[$i]['id'] != '' || $quotes[$i]['module'] != '') { // FedEx
if ($quotes[$i]['module'] != '') { // Standard
I've only done very basic research on this, as I have no way to test the module.Code:// allows FedEx to work comment comment out Standard and Uncomment FedEx
if ($quotes[$i]['id'] != '' || $quotes[$i]['module'] != '') { // FedEx
// if ($quotes[$i]['module'] != '') { // Standard
Does this cause Fedex to work in ZC1.3.8? I am not sure what you mean by "change your site's template operation ".
Thanks, I made the file change and I'm still having the same problem, is there something else that I may have overlooked?
Well, that's the only thing in the v1.3.8 code that has any reference to FedEx.
And, since I have no way to test FedEx, I'm not able to offer any help.
I understand.
At least I also offer USPS and UPS which are working fine so this isn't going to keep me from going live.
Thank you!
my solution is to use ZC1.3.7 until Fedex and Google checkout get sorted out for 1.3.8.
I'm new to ZC. Are you saying use only the checkout page code from 1.3.7 to get back to a working FedEx, or retro install the whole thing? I run 1.3.8a now. I'm a little confused. Dr Byte, you refer to a FedEx reference and Merlinpa1969 appears to be answering my post saying the FedEx shipping process is not available for ZC at this time? Could you clarify? I have a double problem --- using a drop shipper and no FedEx mod. Thanks!
Something in the 1.3.8 code changed and fedex no longer works on the checkout page,
you could try using the tpl_checkout_shiping_default.php from 1.3.7 but no guarantees,
remember to put this in your custom templates folder
Jack,
BTW, I am new to ZC also. I wanted a store that worked with Fedex and also with Google Checkout. That has been a surprising hard set of requirments to meet as neither are core parts of any of the Open Source carts I have found. I have tried OSCommerce, OSMax, and Zen Cart 1.3.8 and ZC 1.3.7.
I have achived my goal with ZC1.3.7. but once you get away from the core modules built into the code, things get risky. Fedex actually seems to work just fine. Google checkout works also with 1.3.7 but there is an issue with shipping info timeouts. Seems the problem is more on the Google side but who knows.
To be clear, I am using the entire 1.3.7 version, not part of it mixed with 1.3.8.
Bottome line: Unless you can successfully hack 1.3.8 (noone seems to have done so yet), use ZC 1.3.7 if you want or need Fedex.
Thanks very much for your follow-up reply. this whole deal is more than a little daunting for me. I am a web designer and ad guy who has decided clients and projects are a way of life I'd like to change. So, I believe the future of commerce as we know it, is online.
I have a poster and print art site. I have not even gotten as far a Google checkout. I'm wondering if I should, sooner than later. This may be a topic for another post, but my vendor just told me they spent weeks just working out the shipping on their end and they have been in business for 25+ yrs.
OMG. I gotta get this online, so I may have to limit it to what I have for starters. Do you happen to know if the Paypal Web Payments Pro will handle most of this for me? That's the only payment/shipping mod I'm using initially.
So the old addage "you get what you pay for" probably applies. Zen Cart is free so one can't expect the features and support of a higher end commercial product. Also, the stuff that comes integrated with ZC is more relaible than the addons.
here is some input about Google Checkout. Its much easier to install if its the very first addon you install. Otherwise you have to hand edit a bunch of files. Of course, you find out with ZC that you have to hand edit many files anyway.
So on Saturday, i started with a new install of ZC1.3.7, then I installed Google Checkout, then I installed Fedex. Then I started playing with the template, colors, and little bits of text here and there. Its basically working except for the shipping issues with GC.
I am on Godaddy and if there EZ cart had support for Fedex and Google, I probably never would have messed with any of the open source carts. I decided at the begining i wanted those two features.
You say you started with 1.3.7, then upped to .8 then back to .7?
Wondering if a.) I can retro install 1.3.7 easily enough and b.) what I would be giving up. A little scary.
well it didn't really go like that. Actually I started with OSCommerce and gave up on that for a number of reasons. I did get Fedex to work after hunting through the forums and finding a Godaddy specific issue. But then there were other things that didn't work right when I started filling in products.Quote:
"You say you started with 1.3.7, then upped to .8 then back to .7?

I was about to give up on open source carts but I decided to give ZC one last try. I played around with it some a few months ago. So last week, naturally i started with the latest version 1.3.8. Then i discovered that Fedex does not work with 1.3.8 at all so I started again from the beginning with 1.3.7. I did some other things first before I installed ZC1.3.7. My domain was a subdomain and you can't have an SSL on a subdomain. Google require an SSL. So I started a new account with my store as the primary domain, added an SSL cert before uploaded any software and then installed 1.3.7 from the start. I added GC first and the Fedex. So thats how it really went.
I can confirm that this fix did work on my site running 1.3.8a. Thanks to DrByte for his work on this.Quote:

Works for me in 1.3.8a with DrByte's fix.
Thanks Dr
I think I found the fix that does not require the change in tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php.
In both fedexexpress.php & fedexground.php you will see multiple references toreplace that withPHP Code:$this->title1
(i.e. remove the 1 after the variable title)PHP Code:$this->title
THANK YOU!!! It seems to be working. All I did was the remove the "1" as you said. Didn't need to use DrByte's fix, but will keep in mind if something comes up.
I am glad that worked for more than just me :) Thanks for the update!Quote:

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread. It's a lifesaver.
It appears as if different installations works differently on this issue. In my case, each of the fixes worked individually, and they both worked together. I kept ParsonsMT's "title" fix as it seemed cleaner to me, and returned DrByte's version back to the Standard line. The shipping estimator works, and the FedEx shipping options appear on the checkout_shipping page (which it didn't at first until I applied either fix). And while down for maintenance as well!
i'm using ver. 1.3.8 and i've installed your module. the estimates are working but now i cant get past step 1 of the check out process.
here a link to my site hiquatec.com i create a test customer if you want to take a look user name is [email protected] and the password is 12345
Neither of these fixes worked for me. FedEx Ground DOES return rates but FedEx Express does NOT return rates. Any ideas?
Hey guys I uncommented the line as described above and it now works perfect.
I dont know how or I would add it to the install instructions for the fedx mod.
Maybe someone else knows how to get that done.
But thanks a bunch for the help you solved my problem.
I did the file change and it now works good. But wont give me anything but fedx ground any one with an idea how to get the fedx express to show up as well?
I did the fixes above and still could not get fedx express to work. It turned out to be I forgot to enter a shipfrom phone number in the fedx express mod. Now that I have it works very well.
Thanks to every one who has posted here your posts helped me a lot.
We had to roll-back to 1.3.7, but now can't get FedEx to return any rates for heavy shipments. It will return lightweight packages, but nothing too heavy. We need to ship a lot in the 100+ weights. Any suggestions?
I'm new to Zen Cart and want to say thanks to everyone for posting. Installed the latest 1.3.8a, and the latest FEDEX module 1.3.7 which seems to be working OK.
I followed the notes in this post thread and also made the changes per thread:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...t=fedex&page=2
and thread:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90218
I can't say if the prices are correct as I have not done any comparison. Can't say about heavy packages either. But I can say it seems to work on estimator and checkout screens. PayPal Express Checkout is not automatically selecting cheapest method. I think I need to add the "add cost per weight" somehow as that above thread discuss. Right now I just have 0:0 setting for both Configure -> Shipping/Packaging rows.
Thanks everyone. I called the FEDEX people as well and they told me about the management policy changes that occurred 1 month ago:
New system is "Web services" - old system is "Web Integrated Solutions". The old system has stopped accepting new customers. It's possible the FEDEX guy on phone did something to enable ... but I don' think so. Think he just watched as I configured the ZenCart FEDEX module. He didn't tell me he did anything special.
For initial setup, FDEX Express, I just used the "NONE" for Fedex Meter ID field (I alreadey had a FEDEX Account number) and then after doing my first shipping estimation I went back to admin module and the Meter ID number magically appeared! Then I used that number for Fedex Ground. This was really my big confusion and all seemed to go smoothly. Thanks again everyone.
Hope someone makes a newer FEDEX module that uses the newer "Web Services" technology. And perhaps a new module that does the printing of package label with bar code, etc. For now I will use the generic FEDEX stickers and book and do that by hand. I'm very low volume anyway.
I just finished the module today actually.Quote:

Numinix,
You freaking rock!
Looking forward to it!
this worked for me. thanks
Numinix,
Is your updated FedEx module from March 19 available for download? Where can I find it? The one on the Zen Cart site is the Jan. 27 version, and I don't see it on your site either.
Thanks,
Alan
I take it from what I read that you wrote this MOD.
I also have to say you rock.
I set the ship from zip to match my warehouse local and the prices are within a few cents. and it took a little doing because I missed stuff but now that every thing is correct it works great on all sides fedx ground and express. Thank for the great contrib.
No, I didn't write the mod, just added a couple of small updates which aren't included in the latest version released by the Zen Cart Development team.
Hi Gang ---
I thought of posting this here too (sorry for my other post).
Both Modules (Express & Ground) are working fine in my Zen Cart v1.3.7.1. But for some reason if I have mire than aprox 80 or so Lbs on my cart (total weight of multiple products added together), the FedEx Ground shows no rates...
I have all my meters fine, etc. Any clues what can be wrong?
thanks a TON!
gabstero
This worked for me as well!

Thanks. Looks like the Jan. 27 mod is the latest Fedex shipping mod. We're having some problems with mod's not working together in 1.3.8a, mostly having to do with Google Checkout. So we've decided to stay with 1.3.7 for now, which is working for us. There's nothing pushing us anyway.Quote:

I may take a quick look at the FedEx labels contrib, but we probably won't have a place for it. We import all our orders into Stone Edge Order Manager, along with orders from another non-Zen site, and print all our labels from there.
Once again, a big Thank You to all you contributors who help keep the "Zen" in Zen Cart.
Just wanted to thow in a confirmation that this fix worked for me too..Quote:

also, numinix I really like the sounds of your module, can it be used with this fedex module? or is it meant as a replacement
The Fedex module is used for returning rates to customers. My Fedex Automated Shipping Labels module, while it does work alone, it would be pointless unless your customers can select a Fedex shipping method. Once they've picked a method, you can select that method in your admin and create/print your labels and ship your boxes.
Worked for me too! thanks! if anyone else is having any trouble, make sure you have your cURL configured.Quote:

:clap:
I'm having this same issue (ZC 1.3.8a), I've found that SHIPPING_MAX_WEIGHT is set at 100lbs, and if it's more than that, classes/shipping.php splits it into multiple boxes, I'm thinking the fedex ground module is having issues w/ multiple boxes?Quote:

UPDATE: Ok, it has nothing to do with the zipcodes. Fedex Home Delivery, which is chosen by default when there is no "Company" specified, has a maximum weight of 70lbs. So, it appears that the bug is 70+lbs and no "Company" will yield an empty Ground return...I'm going to look into includes/modules/shipping/fedexground.php and see where it's sending the request, perhaps there is a "service type" component that needs to be automatically switched to "Ground" instead of "Home Delivery" based on the weight of the packages. I'll keep everyone postedQuote:

HOWEVER: You CAN ship a 150lbs package to a residence! It just has to ship via GROUND, not HOME DELIVERY.
So, the business rule SHOULD be: If the weight of the package is between 70lbs and 150lbs, and the address is "residential", ie; no $order->delivery['company'], then the requested service should be GROUND, not HOME DELIVERY
Zen Cart says:
Choose the maximum weight of the package your company will ship, if the total weight of your items exceeds this limit, divide by the maximum and ship that many separate boxes.
I suppose you could just set the max weight in Admin->Configuration->Shipping/Packaging to 70lbs, as this would ensure that you'd always get a rate returning for Home Delivery, however, this solution is less than ideal for merchants who ship heavy packages as their customers will see insanely high pricing for Home Delivery, when they could be seeing decent rates for GROUND.
I'm going to work on it for a little while longer and see if I can find a more robust solution that would encompass the business rules of Fedex.
I've been closely following your "exploits"(:laugh::laugh:) because I have a client in a similar business as yours. (http://www.kdezines.com) While it's not been an issue YET (their site JUST launched), I see that this shipping weight business and rates could very much become an issue for them..

I downloaded this fedex module http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=367
and followed post #23 on page 3....works perfect...except the shipping prices seem about 5 dollars high, but im going to try and find a fix for that and will post if i do..

David,

Thank you,

The purpose of this email is to try to have FedEx IT personnel design a module to integrate FEDEX SHIP MANAGER with ZenCart.
ZenCart is used by tens of thousands of small businesses in the U.S. and abroad.
There is no official "company" to go to for integration issues. It is user supported.
To integrate FedEx into ZenCart, the FedEx IT people should download and take a look at this program; It is the ZenCart E-Commerce program.
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/zen...or=superb-east
There is a module to integrate UPS WorldShip and it works flawlessly.
If FedEx IT can look at the UPSWS code of this module, I believe it would help them see an example of a working integration module, as it applies to ZenCart
It is here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...25&update_id=1
This module allows the UPS Shipping rates to be shown on the Checkout page of ZenCart and integrates them into the order process.
Here is a FedEx for ZenCart module, but it has many flaws:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...ducts_id=367##
To read what problems users are having, FedEx IT should read here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ighlight=fedex you may have to create an user account and log in.
I realize that to accept the task of creating an integration module may need "corporate approval". With so many businesses being prevented from using FedEx in their business, including ourselves, I believe that FedEx would see the value in creating such an integration module for ZenCart.
Please keep me updated on any and all progress concerning this matter,
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Did you ever hear back from them?
Thanks for sending this!
-- Kimball
As soon as I get any updates, I will post them.
Ok everyone,
-I have received a reply from FedEx IT.
-They state that they will only support "Certified" web developers. This means that a company offering an E-Commerce solution for sale, that incorporates (designs/generates) the FedEx integration code will then have to submit that entire e-commerce code to FedEx for "certification".
-This means that "open source" code, like ZCart, will not be supported.
-FedEx states that they do not have real code designers; they don't design the code, therefore they can not/will not take the Zcart code and generate the integration code.
-Solution:
FedEx states that FOR AN INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS they will supply code TO A CERTIFIED e-commerce designer/programmer for integration into/for that INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS'S e-commerce code.
-That means
1. all of us, individually would have to contact a FEDEX CERTIFIED code person/company
2. That Certified Co. would then get code from FedEx.
3. That Certified Co. would make a module specific to the user's zencart code and FedEx acct information.
FedEx does not have the desire / capability to design a module for open source program like ZCart.
RATS.
Here is a list of FedEx "Certified" programmers.

I ship exclusivily Fedex ground for all my packages..
they are all quite large and always go dimensional
weight.
Does this fedex module support dimensional
weight caculations per product?
I am trying to determine if I can use zencart for my store.
Thanks,
Mike

Which module works the best with FedEx Ship Manager 2009?
Now some stupid questions:
1. Will it show the shipping costs to the customer,
2. Will it be cost specific to our FedEx account rates,
3. Will it auto populate into FedEx Ship Manager,
Thank you,
Matt.
1 It shows the published rate to the customer
2 the rates displayed are the published rates that are set to your acount ( not your discounted rates )
3 No it dosnt integrate with the ship manager
However, you may be able to use another software package as an intermediary. For example, for a variety of reasons, we use Stone Edge Order Manager (SEOM) to combine orders from several web sites (ZC and non-ZC) in a Windows-based environment, and a by-product of that usage is that SEOM can be integrated with FedEx Ship Manager. Once we import orders into SEOM and approve them for shipment, the shipping department can bring up an approved order in Ship Manager, and the relevant fields from the order are already filled in. It takes some work with the Integration Manager within Ship Manager, linking to fields from a query in SEOM (MS Access based). When the label is created, the tracking info is recorded in SEOM. The end of day processing ("Prcoess Tracking Numbers" in SEOM) can relay the tracking data back to ZC and set the ZC order status accordingly. It requires some set up and monkeying with it, but it can be done. FedEx tech support were very helpful to us in guiding us through the integration steps between SEOM and Ship Manager. Stone Edge tech support is also very helpful with all aspects of SEOM. If you can justify the cost of SEOM for its range of functionality, this is one small area it can handle.
I have the fedex module installed and it will simply not show the rates on the page. In debug mode, you can clearly see that the rates are being returned, however they do not write onto the page. Is this the same problem everyone else is having or is there a simple fix to this isuue that I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ahh the FedX guru has spoken!:clap: I just want to make sure I am CRYSTAL CLEAR on the the highlight portion of your statement. The mod being discussed in this thread is the older FedEx module: FEDEXQuote:

I have tried both the original FEDEX module and the FEDEX XML module you mention above, and neither work for me. For some addresses I get rates, for some I get no rates, for some I get rates for some classes, but no rates (i.e., a rate of 0 shows up) for other classes.Quote:

I have never had an issue with the older FEDEX module.. When I get some time I will test the FEDEX XML module.. I was trying to get confirmation that this (FEDEX XML) was one of the modules Merlin was speaking of..Quote:

Warning; I am having an error with the FEDEx model with the shipping price, however it is only when you goto the checkout section. Please see the below for the example of what is happening;

I have an unreleased version of this module which supports dimensional shipping, but does not require it. I also plan to add the ability to choose shipping methods to offer without having to edit the code directly. This will be released when the new Numinix website goes live this week.
I'd like a copy of the New Fedex addon.
Nothing I do removed the errors that show up.
Data sent to Fedex for Rating....
Am trying to integrate FEDEX XML. we are running 1.3.7. Does anyone know if this mod supports 1.3.7. We are getting this error:
[Error] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[Code] => 64344
[Message] => Invalid value in element RequestHeader/MeterNumber
so it appears to be a meter num retreival problem . We have left it set to "NONE"
Thanks in advance
1.3.7 heavily modded.
I also have tried both versions of the Fedex module. The XML module didn't return any shipping rates, only $0.00 in each row.
The Fedex module returns shipping costs to the "estimate shipping" window, but returns nothing at all at the "checkout" window. The Fedex option doesn't show at all in the checkout.
Anyone care to give me a shove here to alert me to what I've overlooked? It sure would be nice to offer Fedex shipping too!
FWIW, the store is at www.flyboyaccessories.com

Best Regards,
We had another bug to fix which is now completed so we'll correct the SQL error for anyone not using the dimensional shipping in addition to renaming title1 to title and then release the new version tonight.
I am in the process of migrating from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8. Can not make the 1.4.1 Fedex module to work. The UPS and USPS are OK. As soon as I install Fedex while running shipping estimator I am getting this "1054 Unknown column 'products_length' in 'field list'
in:
[SELECT products_length, products_width, products_height, products_ready_to_ship, product_is_always_free_shipping FROM zen_products WHERE products_id = 47 LIMIT 1]"
Enable Dimensions? is set to False.
TIA
hi. i'm running 1.3.8a with fexed mod 1.4.1. i was having the problem of fedex not showing up on the checkout page. i did the table1->table fix but now i'm getting the error below. any ideas?
thank. paul.
1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ':8156325fdbe48dbd415939aa043c72ba LIMIT 1' at line 1

this is a comment to my problem posted above. i've figured out that the error only comes up when there's a item with an attribute in the shopping cart. still. any ideas how to fix this issue?
replace with:Code:WHERE products_id = " . $product['id']
Code:WHERE products_id = " . (int)$product['id']
I also just replaced:
withCode:$data .= '116,"' . $this->num_pieces . '"'; // Total number of pieces
I'm still not sure if it's working right because I'm having issues accessing my client's account on the FedEx site. But at least it's giving me rates now that are closer to reality. (Before I did that second replace, I got a quote of $238.25 for shipping a half-pound box that happened to have 25 small items in it.)Code:$data .= '116,"' . $shipping_num_boxes . '"'; // Total number of pieces
