Software Manual
Realtime Shipping Management
There are several functions under the Shipping Settings menu that are related to realtime shipping. This program is set up to allow realtime shipping using four different methods:
  1. UPS OnLineŽ Tools
  2. UPS Web API
  3. USPS WebTools
  4. FedEx DirectConnect
  5. InterShipper
Of the methods listed above, all but UPS Web API have to be activated using the Administrator Utility. Below you will find details on the functions available for activating those methods.

UPS OnLineŽ Tools Connection

Setting up your UPS OnLineŽ Tools connection is a multi-step process. Use the UPS OnLineŽ Tools Connection function to ensure your connection is set up properly. The function will provide a connection to UPS for registration for UPS OnLineŽ Tools. Completion of the steps provided by the function will ensure correct registration and activation.

UPS OnLineŽ Tools are only available in certain countries. A listing of available countries is available at http://www.ec.ups.com/ecommerce/solutions/global_redirect.html.

You will be presented with a license agreement, which you must accept to continue. Your registration information will also be collected and sent to UPS for validation. If your information is validated by UPS, your registration will be complete and your UPS OnLineŽ Tools connection will be activated.

Note: Because UPS OnLineŽ Tools uses SSL to accept and return information, using UPS OnLineŽ Tools requires the installation of non-standard Perl modules. The modules that need to be installed by the administrator of the webserver are: Crypt::SSLeay, HTML::Parser, HTML::Tagset, IO::Socket::SSL, libnet, libwww-perl, MIME::Base64, Net_SSLeay and URI. If you attempt to set up a connection with or otherwise use UPS OnLineŽ Tools and these modules are not installed, an error message will be presented.

USPS WebTools Connection

Setting up your USPS WebTools connection is a multi-step process. Use the USPS WebTools Connection function to ensure your connection is set up properly. The following steps are necessary to obtain a USPS WebTools username and password:

Visit the USPS web site at http://www.uspswebtools.com/ and click the registration link that's presented.

Complete all of the information requested on the registration page, be sure to agree to the USPS WebTools terms and conditions and submit the form.

After submitting the form you will recieve a username and password along with a development URL via email. Save the username and password and disregard the development URL.

The representative will send you an email with the production server URL.

Once you receive the production server URL via email from USPS, your account is production-ready. Enter in your username and password in the USPS WebTools Connection function to activate your connection.
