How USPS Module Works?

[Trihimbulus]

Hello,

I just installed the USPS module, received the email from USPS with my Web Tools ID and password, and everything is setup on this end. What I am confused about is the following:

1) Can this be linked to a business USPS account? It seems that the only thing this is associated with is my Webtools ID and Password- no USPS account and no bank account. - If so, how do I go about doing this?

2) If this can be linked to a biz USPS account, how does this withdraw from my bank account, or does it? - How do you guys go about printing labels and pay for shipping costs? I would think this would be done through an online interface!

3) The other USPS Web Tools API's on their site such as Address Information, Delivery Information, Rate Calculator, and Shipping Label API's. Can these be installed in Zen Cart as well? - I would like to give my customers the ability to login to my site, and find their order status info from USPS or atleast a tracking number. I dont want to have to update this manually.

4) Does the customer receive an automated email from Zen-Cart with their tracking numbers once the order has been dropped off at USPS?

5) Lastly, what exactly does the shipping module (in Zen Cart) do?

So many questions- I know! - please help clarify this for me!

It only pulls rates from the USPS server.

Thank you for the simple answer as I was curious also how this "USPS Module" works or what is actually for.

Now i just need to find a way to make tracking numbers appear.

Have a great day.
