Are you using the USPS module that comes with Zen Cart or the USPS XML add-on shipping module?

[eddie1973]

I am using the USPS that came with the Zen Cart. After I signed up for the webtools on the USPS site I was sent a XML file.

We do not use the XML ... not sure what they may have sent you ...

1 make sure your 5 digit Zip Code is configured

2 make sure you are on Production not Test as the Test Server with USPS rarely works

3 make sure you have emailed or called USPS to activate your account for the Production server

4 if you are using an upgraded version of Zen Cart, remove/install/configure USPS Shipping module again ...

5 make sure if using Sort Orders on the Shipping Modules that you have no duplicates

I noticed in the admin for the USPS MOD, it doesnt give me an option to add the USPS server url. Which USPS gave me a server url

This is what USPS uses with Zen Cart ... again, this is NOT the XML version ...

    switch (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_SERVER) {
      case 'production':
      $usps_server = 'production.shippingapis.com';
      $api_dll = 'shippingapi.dll';
      break;
      case 'test':
      default:
      $usps_server = 'testing.shippingapis.com';
      $api_dll = 'ShippingAPITest.dll';
      break;
    }
