| Step 1. |
XML - Your web server must be able to communicate with the
USPS servers via Microsoft's XML components. Checking for XML
components -->
<%
on error resume next
set xmlTest = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
if err.number = 0 then
set xmlTest = server.Createobject(MSXMLprogID)
if err.number = 0 then
Response.Write "COMPONENTS INSTALLED"
else
Response.Write "MSXML NOT FOUND"
end if
else
Response.Write "XMLDOM NOT FOUND"
end if
set xmlTest = nothing
on error goto 0

| Step 2. |
IIS 5.0 - You will need to have IIS 5.0 (or later) to use the
shipping routine. You currently have
<%=Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_SOFTWARE")%>
installed.
|
| Step 3. |
SHIPMENT WEIGHT - The weight of your products must be entered
into your database as Pounds. Ounces must be entered as
fractions of a Pound (1oz = 0.0625Lbs, 1Lbs 8oz = 1.5Lbs, etc.).
|
| Step 4. |
LOCAL SHIPPING - Check that the Country Code for the United
States is "US", and Puerto Rico is "PR", using the Locations
function. This is the default value.
|
| Step 5. |
COUNTRY NAMES - USPS uses the country name to determine the
shipping rates for non-US destinations. The country name in the
Locations file must therefore match the country name USPS
expects to receive. The full list can be found
HERE.
|
| Step 6. |
USPS ACCOUNT - Before proceeding to the next step, you must
REGISTER
with USPS. You will initially
receive a test account, but you can go ahead and request a
live account as the routines have already been tested.
|
| Step 7. |
CONFIGURE - Complete the form below to configure your store
for USPS Online Rates.
