Hi,

I received a login/pass from USPS to use their test server prior to getting their API. However, I'm not sure how to set up Virtuemart 2.0.6 to test for shipping. I don't see anything to configure in VM2's payment method for this.I have the API test dll but have no idea where it goes in the script or how it is called out. Can someone offer any help because the Virtuemart forum certainly is not helpful.

Thank you!!

Hi Joomlad,

Are you using the USPS Plugin with Virtuemart? If so, which version are you using?

Hi Tessa,

I'm using Joomla 2.5.6, VM2 2.0.8a.

Hi Joomlad, :-)

You can find the directions on configuring your USPS API here:
extensions.virtuemart.net/all-tutorials/...onfiguration-of-usps

It gives step by step on what to do with your API account and how to use it within your component.

Thanks, Tessa!!

Hi Joomlad,

You are very welcome. I'm glad we were able to be helpful. :-)

Hi Tessa,
I also learned that one had to purchase the VirtuMart plugin for $60 to use USPS services.

Hi joomlad,

It's good you found somthing that works. There are other modules that are free or cost less, but sometimes it pays to get one that you are sure of and has good support.

Hopefully the one you bought will support you through the process if you have questions. We'd be interested to know your thoughts or evaluation of any thing you use if you feel like sharing it with the community.


Good luck.
