To set up shipping cost calculation through USPS real-time shipping calculator, follow these steps:
| 1. | If you haven't yet done so, provide your own company address in the 'General settings->Company options' section. Make sure you provide this address correctly - it will be submitted to the real-time shipping calculator as the origin address for all shipments from your store and thus will affect the shipping rates. |
| 3. | Enable your store to use the real-time shipping calculator provided by USPS: |
| a) | In your store's administration back-end, go to the 'General settings->Shipping options' section. |
| b) | On the 'General settings->Shipping options' page, select the check box 'Real-time shipping calculation'. Unselect the check box 'If selected, use Intershipper calculation services...'. |
| c) | Use the 'U.S.P.S account details' subsection of 'General settings->Shipping options' page to provide the required information. |
| a) | Go to the 'Shipping methods' section of your store's administration back-end (Management menu->Shipping methods). |
| b) | Find USPS in the list of real-time shipping methods and click the Options >> link opposite it. A dialog box with USPS options opens. |
| c) | Adjust the options according to your preferences. |
That is all. Now you can test whether your store can receive real-time shipping rates correctly. For details, see the chapter 'Testing your store's ability to receive real-time shipping rates' further in this manual.
