I don't know when or why but suddenly I cannot select any other shipping except for standard parcel. Just returns a blank page when continuing to step2 of Delivery Information.
Zencart version 2.0.1 module version 2.5.6 PHP version 8.3.11

Please use v 2.5.6d from the GitHub https://github.com/OldNGreyBMR/aupost
That strlen(search) error was fixed in V2.5.6.c

Also please insure that handling fees are not blank or a space.

[VacuumDog]

MAGIC!!
Thanks for such a quick response....awesome...fixed.

I am using module version 1.5.6.d and I have an issue with tax on shipping when paid through paypal.
I only ship from Australia to Australia.
I have taxable goods set in the AP module.
I have Basis of shipping tax set to shipping.
At checkout it shows the correct amount for shipping, $11.45, however when continuing to pay with paypal (my only payment method apart from walk-in) it becomes $10.41 which is the price before GST.
Not sure where the problem lies......

[VacuumDog]

That should read 2.5.6.d....

[OldNGrey]

I don't use Paypal and don't have way to test it. I think you have to be using "PayPal RESTful" not the built in Paypal payments - check on the "PayPal RESTful" forum.

I use Dirbank AU and SecurePay for credit cards and neither has this problem.

A search shows similar problems in the past where the Localization > Currencies was not set to 1 https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....46#post1232046. What is your setting?

[VacuumDog]

Yeah, its set to 1.
The correct item prices are being sent to paypal, it's just the postage that's dropping the GST off the postage total including handling fees.
I'll check out the other plugin and see what happens.

[OldNGrey]

If you use Store Pickup and set the cost to $10 ; set tax to GST; Tax basis to shipping:
so the cost inc is $11.00 does it still do it?
