Hello All, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to understand the limitations of Paypal and UPS integration. I'd like to use UPS shipping costs within the cart/checkout in Paypal. Is this possible?

Our UPS service is only to create Shipping label per transaction received.

We do not offer UPS integration within the PayPal Shopping Cart. However, you can create your own shopping Cart and use the UPS module to integrate UPS into your shopping cart.

Here is the link for UPS Business Solutions. http://www.ups.com/conte...ship/business_tech.html

Once, you have UPS added into your shopping cart you can just Integrate PayPal into your Checkout button. Here is the link to learn how to the integration with PayPal https://www.paypal.com/e...f/integration_guide.pdf page 57

alc,

Another option is one of the several 3rd party carts that interface with UPS. I think all of those require a monthly fee because they are hosted on someone elses site.

There are more simple ideas, though, such as my free, client-side cart where the UPS shipping values are contained in internal tables. It requires you to set-up tables for you shipping zip, and maintain the charges, but it is free. But because it is client side, it cannot support an order of more than 15 different items at once. It may just give you an example of what is possible once you leave the default PayPal shopping cart...

Ron,

I've been trying to configure your cart, and I have to admit, it works absolute wonders. However, I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out the shipping and how it works. You mention putting the info into a table, but never mention what filename should be used for this table, nor do I see how to actually use the table with the shopping cart. The Javascript on the "table builder" page is not there. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

It is not a separate table - it is a table(s) within the cart.js code.

If you execute the basic order in the article, then you see it calculates shipping based on weight and zip code. Try it...

http://members.aol.com/paypalcart/index.html

Your task is now to replace my main page with yours (with your products and weights), and then modify the shipping dropdown (in cart.html, if necessary), modify the Shipper function within cart.js, and THEN create your own zone table(s) within cart.js.

I guess I should break things out to make them easier to find - I shall take your critism to heart, and rethink my methods. That will take a bit. In the meantime I hope I have helped you with a description of the interactions of the files. Good luck... In future, you might email me directly to save this forum the space....

We have recently added UPS shipping support into our shopping cart. It calculates UPS ground shipping rates based on your zip code (stored into the administrative profile), destination zip code and the total weight of the items in the cart. In addition, it calculated standard shipping rates for shipments to Canada, based on the Canadian postal code. Also it can calculate worldwide priority costs to the rest of the countries.
Shipping value is incorporated into the paypal payment.

This method does not require you to create shipping zones chart for each zip code and has no limitations as for the items number. The only thing you need is your zip code.

Hello, I have written an ASP.net webservice that will allow you to pull shipping rates from UPS,USPS, and FedEx at the same time...in real time. This service returns an XML string of Data that can be applied in several different ways. It also includeds a tracking module to easily obtain traking info from all the carriers as well.

The beauty of this is that it is cross platform. All it takes is an HTTP post which will generate the XML with the real time rates

You can try a demo here...

How do we create the shipping zone tables based on the "from" zip code?

I see in the code there is always a line such as:

// built from USPS 66062 zone chart

How does one "build" a zone chart from a specific zip? I am lost on this one...

I am building a shipping calculator with the UPS API. Having some trouble identifying local zip codes for tax purposes. I am also trying to include International calculations and I don’t have a formula for that. Can someone PLEASE direct me to a UPS technical resource that can assist my programmers?
