When an order is placed there are a range of fixed price shipping options.
Is there a way to pull in actual shipping costs from a carrier, for example based on weight? Thanks James |
if the shipper has a interface to get this info, yes.
this is done with USPS, UPS, and FEDEX now. ========================= BJ Freeman Strategic Power Office with Supplier Automation <http://www.businessesnetwork.com/automation/viewforum.php?f=52> Specialtymarket.com <http://www.specialtymarket.com/> Systems Integrator-- Glad to Assist Chat Y! messenger: bjfr33man James Lawton sent the following on 11/9/2010 8:31 AM: > When an order is placed there are a range of fixed price shipping options. > Is there a way to pull in actual shipping costs from a carrier, for example > based on weight? > > > > Thanks > > James > > |
Thanks
I assume I configure those interfaces through the Facilities / Shipping Gateway config page However when a user is creating an order and is filling in the shipping information, how does he invoke that interface? There is an option under SHipment Method which says "No Shipping - calculated offline" and that is the only one which does not have a fixed rate associated with it...is that the option to be used?

when an order is getting shipping info it comes from the shipping
estimates. you have to customize to get realtime shipping from for the order. the problem comes because you basically have used part of the shipping, so if the order is changed or canceled you have to cancel the shipping with the shipper, in some cases. ========================= BJ Freeman Strategic Power Office with Supplier Automation <http://www.businessesnetwork.com/automation/viewforum.php?f=52> Specialtymarket.com <http://www.specialtymarket.com/> Systems Integrator-- Glad to Assist Chat Y! messenger: bjfr33man James Lawton sent the following on 11/9/2010 10:06 AM: > Thanks > > I assume I configure those interfaces through the Facilities / Shipping > Gateway config page > > However when a user is creating an order and is filling in the shipping > information, how does he invoke that interface?
