OilyPablo Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 What shipping method options can we use with Authorize.net? All we have now is Paypal, and we use USPS exclusively. Frankly it works very well. We love USPS (don't tell anyone). Our shipping rates are low and very well tuned in. We use ZONE RATES for world wide shipping, and after a few months of dead reckoning, the rates are spot on for our products, so obviously we want to stick with ZONE RATES. How the heck can we work this with Authorize.net? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilyPablo Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 BUMP - what do you Authorize.net users choose for shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natrium42 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 What does shipping have to do with your payment processor? Also, bumping is against board rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilyPablo Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 OOps sorry for the bump, won't happen again. To answer your question - we have been using Paypal, and shipping is very much integrated with the payment processor. With another payment processor such as Authorize.net, is it purely a manual process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natrium42 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) OK, so there are two separate and independent shipping parts in osCommerce: 1. shipping module: quotes prices to your customers 2. shipping labels module: lets you print labels from the admin backend You said that for 1. zone rates works well for you. Now as far as I understand you used to ship the orders from paypal.com? Because that's actually eBay shipping, none of the other payment processors have that. This is where 2. comes into play. There are two modules worth looking into for your case: usps shipping labels (should work out of the box) PayPal Automated Labels (would have to be adjusted to work with USPS) Once you install one of these mods, you'll be able to ship directly from admin.

OilyPablo Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Thank you SIR!! We have it working thanks to your initial advice. We did some slight mods (the USPS module is invisible to the customer for example), but overall it was as straightforward as entering our information. In some ways it is better than Paypal (FASTER!) - my only small complaint with USPS online: It doesn't do First Class mail (but Paypal does!)
