Here's what I hoped to accomplish with my Zen Cart. I would like customers to be able to click through the shopping cart and then be presented with a list of shipping options, either USPS/FEDEX/UPS or even just USPS/FEDEX. I would like to have real-time rate quotes displayed next to each option.
I would also like to be able to print labels for each service so that I can have the packages picked-up.
Sounds simple, but for some reason I can't get it to happen. Every shipping module I try seems to have some sort of built-in limitation.
I've tried the Numinix Fedex Web Services module but CAN NOT for the life of me, get it working. I've tried every single solution I've seen online, quadruple-checked all of my configuration info, tried 3-4 different production URLs including the one sent to me via email, and nothing works. I'm guessing the problem must be on their end, but I haven't gotten around calling FedEx Developer Network yet.
I installed ShipStation, thinking that would solve my problems because they appeared to cover all 3 services, but after installing, I found out that there's hardly any Zen Cart integration at all. It just skims the order info as it come in, then feeds it into a completely cloud-based (online) management suite. It doesn't feed rates back to the cart pages or anything like that, unless I'm missing something.
I signed up for USPS Web Tools, but need to call in and get my Production URLs before knowing of any of it actually works.
So...I was wondering....what does everyone else use? Which combination of services or modules should I duct-tape together to get the results I am aiming for?
Thanks!
