The latest version was released Jan 2024. It is said it is compatible with 2.0-alpha. You can probably try it and see if it still works with 2.1.0.

Re: Canada Post module
I have updated my website https://www.touskki.ca with Zen Cart 2.1.0. I rely solely on Canada Post for shipping so I grit my teeth and installed this suggested version. It "sort-of" works. Initially, it broke crashed the site completely. Then I noticed that just copying includes\modules\shipping\canadapost.php, my site did not crash and shipping rates were displayed in the shipping estimator. Yeah! Originally Posted by njcyx
Well, however, checking my error logs, I get the following errors every time I access the shipping estimator...

Re: Canada Post module
Hi everyone,
I have recently upgraded my Zen Cart to v2.1.0. All went correctly. Then I installed the suggested module above as I require Canada Post as it is my only shipping option. The entire zen cart crashed and burned. Then I notices if you just all includes\modules\shipping\canadapost.php, customers do get rates in the shipping estimator. However, I do get these errors every time I access the shipping estimator:

Re: Canada Post module
The Canada Post Sell Online tool will be decommissioned by the end of September 2025. Does anyone have any plans to support the new Canada Post Developer Program for Zencart?

Re: Canada Post module
The old module let you configure your specific shipping box sizes in the CP website, and then when CP quoted prices it was based on those box sizes, fitting all the shipment items into that many boxes. Originally Posted by grizak
Their new approach abandoned that feature, meaning it will need to rely on Zen Cart's max box weight for calculating how many boxes, regardless of dimensions. This will throw off the CP quoting a bit, because it might quote on too few or too many boxes, of wrong dimensions.
This is what has always interfered with building an updated module for CP.
Questions for you:
- do you normally use only a certain CP-provided packaging for your shipments?
- what regular box sizes do you normally use?
- how often do you vary from a single box size?
- how often do you use a bag instead of a box? (bags can be random sizes, which is harder to anticipate)
- how often do you combine multiple items into a single package?
- were there any pain-points to using the old CP module? (packaging, quoted prices, etc)
These are just some questions that will help anticipate what's needed for a rebuild. I know they'll be specific to your own business, but the feedback helps..

Re: Canada Post module
You could try changing lines 228-230 of canadapost.php to the following: Originally Posted by ServicesinfoSL

$product['dim_units'] ?? $product['dim_type'] ?? 'cm',
$product['weight_units'] ?? $product['weight_type'] ?? 'kgs'

Re: Canada Post module
Thanks for the response - see my comments below:
Questions for you:
- do you normally use only a certain CP-provided packaging for your shipments? No - we never use any CP Provided packaging - we use a fixed set of boxes (all pre-defined) - currently each box is defined on the Canada Post Sellonline website.
- what regular box sizes do you normally use? We have a bunch of different boxes from small (6x4x4inches to large 36x24x12inches) - probably 10 - 12 box sizes.
- how often do you vary from a single box size? All of the boxes we used are pre-defined
- how often do you use a bag instead of a box? (bags can be random sizes, which is harder to anticipate) Never - no bags
- how often do you combine multiple items into a single package? - often, most shipments are multiple items into a single box.
- were there any pain-points to using the old CP module? (packaging, quoted prices, etc) The old module worked well in the past, over the last couple of years it has become a bit unreliable with availability problems (server unreachable), and issues with displaying all shipping options (sometimes it returns all shipping options/rates - sometimes it doesn't). At this point, we've disabled it in our store. I've talked with Canada Post, they have minimized all support for Sellonline and it will be fully decommissioned by the end of this month (Sept 2025).
I spoke with a developer who is familiar with the new Canada Post Developer Program, and the old Canada Post Sellonline service (but he is not familiar with Zencart) - he said that platforms/sites transitioning from Sellonline to the new Developer program have to add a local box library/database to their platform/site and use a cartonization algorithm to compare items to be shipped vs. boxes in the local box library/database to determine which boxes/weights are to be shipped, and pass that off to new Canada Post API.

Re: Canada Post module
Attached is a v2.0.0 beta module for testing. Originally Posted by buffdcosmetics

Go back to that page again after logging in, and Join the developer program.
If the menu is not clear, then: Navigate the menu: to Business > Ecommerce > Developer Program
Join to get keys.
Use the Production keys in this module. (username and password) (You won't need the Developer keys, just the Production keys).
Customer number, if you need it, is next to your company name in the dropdown menu on the CP website.
You'll need to double-check that the rates it's giving you are suitable for your parcels, because it no longer tries to fit packages into SellOnline-style boxes.
This module is designed for ZC v2.0.0 and newer. It can be put onto v1.5.8a if you've previously installed the Twitch v1.7 module for v158a for SellOnline.
Also, requires minimum PHP 7.4..
