FedEx Web Services Shipping [Unofficial Discussion Thread]

[njcyx]

It looks like there is no much discussion nor support thread for the numinix FedEx shipping module. So I start this thread here.

The latest version (v1.8.1, updated on 1/22/2021) can be downloaded from numinix directly:
https://www.numinix.com/zen-cart-plu...vices-shipping

Compatible with: Zen Cart 1.3.8a, 1.3.9h, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.5.4, 1.5.5a, 1.5.5b, 1.5.5c, 1.5.5d, 1.5.5e, 1.5.5f, 1.5.6, 1.5.6a, 1.5.6b, 1.5.6c

By my test, it seems that it is working fine with the latest zen cart version 1.57d.

An old FedEx module version (v1.5.4, updated on 6/15/2016) can be downloaded from Zen Cart
https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1784

Compatible with: Zen Cart v1.3.8, v1.3.9, v1.5.0, v1.5.1, v1.5.2, v1.5.3, v1.5.4, v1.5.5

If you have a large volume of shipping, I would go with DrByte's mod at https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1324

It ties your site into ShipStation with UPS, USPS, and FedEx.

Unfortunately, our site use Shipworks for many years... Shipworks doesn't offer eCommerce plan any more and Shipstation is recommended for new users. (Shipworks and ShipStation are owned by the same company)

I tested the v1.8.1 plug-in from numinix with zen cart 1.5.8 dev and php 8.0.22. No surprisingly, I received a lot of warnings and errors from this plug-in. I spent some time to edit the code so now it is no more bugs showing on my testing site. If you like to try my code, please find the link below:

The link in the previous post sometimes may not work. Not sure how it happens. Anyway the following link should work then.

It is just a temporary solution. Hopefully Numinix will update this plug-in in a more professional way soon.

It might be a permanent solution and you might be the proud new owner of this plugin. :) Numinix is not that active on the Zen Cart forum these days.

[njcyx]

Hi @swguy, thanks but I don't think I'm capable to do that. I'm still under PHP learning process and I can only fix a few basic, non-critical warning/bugs. My site needs to use FedEx so I did some trial and error to make it work.

Actually Numinix shown up in the forum early this month, for a different thread.

[swguy]

Yes, all six of the posts they have made in 2022 are in the last month or so. I would call six posts in 10 months "not that active."

But we'll see what happens. Thanks for updating the plugin. Would you please submit your work to
https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1784
(just click the "Submit an updated version button" and call it something like 1.8.1-PHP8.

[njcyx]

Hi @swguy, thanks for your suggestion. Let's give it some time and see if any complaints from other users for this mod...Actually I posted the link here is because I would like other users to try and see how it works. I tested this mod on my test site without issues but maybe others may have different issues. Who knows.

Anyway, users who need this plug-in will search and find this thread here.

[njcyx]

Here is a good news.

@numinix just shown up in a different thread and they will updated this FedEx module for zc1.58 soon.
