The module does not control the rates.  FedEx controls the rates.

The rates shown are the rates for your specific account with FedEx.  Plus any handling fee you might have set in the module itself.

So what exactly do you mean by "list rates"?

[dsolutions]

Kym-

With the old fedex module, you could show list rates or your rates.  List rates are the rates that are given to the public that do not include the shippers discount set by fedex.

Hope that helps clarify.

I did read in the developer manual that by default Fedex shows the price including discounts so i was just wondering if there was a setting that did not include discounts.

Thanks.

[flying_kites]

There is no flag to control what rates are offered in this module.

Someone would have to program it to do that assuming that the new API does in fact allow it.

You can always add on a handling fee.

However given shipping charges is one of the top #3 reasons for abandoned carts, I'd recommend you pass on any savings you can.

People have asked about soap problems.

We loaded a program to check soap with this Add On

You can see proper results here

If you have problems then show the results of this test to your hosting company and they can probably sort it out.

After trying almost everything I can think of,

Im still recieveing:
Fatal error: Class 'SoapClient' not found in /hermes/bosweb25b/b600/ipg.theholydivercom/includes/modules/shipping/fedexwebservices.php on line 67

My host told me it has to be a script error somewhere, b/c they are compatible with SOAP. I use ipage

any ideas?????

[FlyingKites]

Did you run the test script?  What did it say?

I tried to email it to you but the email bounced. So download it from the Add On and try it.

[FlyingKites]

They are saying "their" php is not compatible with SOAP?  

Maybe you should consider moving hosting then because that is pretty odd.

That's what they are saying, but every time i talked to them, I get 10 different answers, to me it sounds like a lot of people not knowing much of anything.
Reena Lawson: Unfortunately, we do not support PHP SOAP  on our servers.

I guess its time to move hosts.

[FlyingKites]

Sounds like it.

Just read I cannot recommend hosting companies ...  although they can recommend osCommerce.

So I will just flag with you that some well known ones don't support osCOmmerce very well so verify before you buy.

Does this module work with Fedex SmartPost if you have it added to your Fedex account?

[FlyingKites]

It has some code in it that refers to Smart Post

$this->types[] = 'SMART_POST';

So I am assuming it does but you've have to test it .

I don't dispute your abandoned cart comment but this module should have the option to not show the discounted rates. The API allows it therefore the web services should SO I hope whoever developed this module will make the modifications. In our case we offer flat rates up to 15 pounds but any more than that we would like the listed rates to show, being that we pay our vendors for shipping and many other fees we like having our discounts on the expedited shipping options. There are additional reasons we would like the listed rates to show instead so it would be really great if this could get integrated before May next year.

[FlyingKites]

Should, would, could. It's a free module.  Maybe your programmer can change it?

I have installed the Fedex...
but i don't know what should i fill in...
FedEx Web Services Key
FedEx Web Services Password
is it just my login to myFedex?
FedEx Account Number (I know this one)
FedEx Meter Number (this one, I don't get it   )

I tried to make a test on it...but it didn't work...it will turn blank...
when I checkout...

[Druid6900]

Well, you people are doing better than I am with this.

I have all the codes and passwords and meter numbers and account numbers I need thanks to some nice Texan at FedEx, but, when I install and active the module, I get a 500 error from the server.

I did the soap test, and, it's not enabled but this is what I get from the tech support where I host;

Preston Sanders: We do not SOAP modules on our servers. However, we provide PEAR SOAP. You can use it.
Richard: Will that work with PHP code?
Preston Sanders: Yes.
Richard: OK, let's give it a shot
Preston Sanders: Sure.
Richard: How long will it take to install?
Preston Sanders: Please hold on, Richard. I will be back with more information shortly.
Richard: OK
Preston Sanders: Thank you for holding.
Preston Sanders: You need to use SOAP as Pear modules Eg: require_once ‘SOAP/Client.php’; /Server.php
Richard: My pleasure

Wonderful, but, I have no idea how or where to install this "require_once" statement.

Any ideas?

follow the link in the module in Admin to the FedEx page that explains to get your key, password and meter number.

so based on that you are looking to add it to the .wsdl file

but I don't understand their acutal statement.
