USPS config error

USPS config error

I noticed in my USPS.php file that its still on the testing address, I've also noticed that shipping from zip was wrong and fixed it, however the weight and the ship to zip are static, what should it be set at to pull the ship to zip and the weight of the cart to calculate the correct shipping costs?

Thanks,
Tim

function WA_eCart_USPS_GetRateQuote($USPS_eCart, $USPS_Parameters, $USPS_PackageArray) {
WA_eCart_USPS_SetSessionDefaults($USPS_eCart);
$USPS_PkCount = 0;
$transSuccess = false;
$USPS_RateType = "RateV3Request";
$USPS_RespType = "RateV3Response";
if (WA_eCart_USPS_IsTrueValue($USPS_Parameters["ShiptoCountry"]) && strtoupper($USPS_Parameters["ShiptoCountry"]) != "UNITED STATES" && strtoupper($USPS_Parameters["ShiptoCountry"]) != "US" && strtoupper($USPS_Parameters["ShiptoCountry"]) != "USA") {
$USPS_RateType = "IntlRateRequest";
$USPS_RespType = "IntlRateResponse";
}
else {
$USPS_Parameters["ShiptoCountry"] = "US";
}
for ($USPS_Counter = 0; $USPS_Counter < sizeof($USPS_PackageArray); $USPS_Counter++) {
if (strpos($USPS_Parameters["USPSServer"],"testing.shippingapis.com") > 0) {
$USPS_PackageArray[$USPS_Counter]["PackageWeight"] = 10.3;
$USPS_Parameters["ShipperZip"]="10022";
$USPS_Parameters["ShiptoZip"]="20008";
$USPS_Counter = sizeof($USPS_PackageArray)-1;

you do not want to change these settings in the WA_eCart/WA_eCart_USPS_PHP.php file, edit these settings in the USPS Shipping server behavior that is applied to the confirm.php page by the checkout wizard.

next to the ship to zip, click the lightning bolt and select the eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_postcode session variable.

for the weight, click the lightning bolt next to weight and select the total weight column from the ecart section of the bindings panel.

Thanks Jason,

The confirm page looks ok then but when something is added to the cart where does that shipping calculation come from? Does it come from the same function?

when the checkout page post to the confirm page, it should trigger the shipping rate lookup behavior on the confirm page.

For the shipping rate to be applied to the cart, there needs to be a shipping rule in the eCart object set to trigger if the USPS rate is greater than 0 and use the USP Rate returned.
