CEON Adv Shipper vs Amazon Checkout -- shipping method names

I'm using CEON's Advanced Shipper module for shipping and when using Checkout by Amazon it shows the internal name of the shipping method awkwardly... for example, on the email I get from Amazon it lists it as "ADVSHIPPER - USPS Mail - 6" which looks confusing to the customer, I think.

I just want it to say "USPS Mail"... how can I change it?

Also, how can I get Amazon Checkout to pick the cheapest method with the USPS module (different site) instead of defaulting to the MOST expensive method?

Probably best to ask ceon, since that's a commercial add-on.

But the thing is, when I use the ZC checkout, it shows up as USPS Mail... so I know it is already configured for that to be the displayed shipping method...

webcat

did you have to do anything special to the 'checkout by amazon' files to get it to work with advanced shipper? In my situation CBA is only recognizing rates from the USPS module. When I have advanced shipper turned on, checkout by amazon gives this error

We're sorry, but we're currently having problems retrieving order details from the merchant, and cannot process your order. Please return to the merchant's website and try placing your order again.

thanks for any info you can provide.

Re: CEON Adv Shipper vs Amazon Checkout -- shipping method names

thanks for responding webkat

I was looking at the file, checkout_by_amazon/checkout_by_amazon_constants.php

in this section

/* supported shipping carrier */
$shipping_carrier = array(
array('id'=>'0','text'=>'Select a Carrier'),
array('id'=>'USPS','text'=>'USPS'),
array('id'=>'UPS','text'=>'UPS'),
array('id'=>'FedEx','text'=>'FedEx'),
array('id'=>'DHL','text'=>'DHL'),
array('id'=>'NipponExpress','text'=>'NipponExpress')
);

I tried adding this line to the array, but that did not work. :-(

array('id'=>'ADVSHIPPER','text'=>'ADVSHIPPER'),

I'm hoping for a response from amazon support.
