Adding shipping options

How do I add another shipping option? I'm using 3 options offered by USPS : Priority Mail, Express Mail, and International Mail. I need to add First-Class Mail.

Also, there is a typo in Priority Mail which I need to fix. Where can I find the different shipping methods so I can fix the typo? Tnx!

Re: Adding shipping options

Enable additional services in admin under Store > Shipping > Realtime Services

What is the typo in Priority Mail?

Re: Adding shipping options

The typo should be changed in each product manually. And the First-Class Mail is not showing in my products delivery option although I turned it to "true".

Under Delivery Method I have Product Based Shipping. And under Custom Shipping Method I have User Defined Calculation. Is this the reason First Class Mail is not showing in Store >Products?

Re: Adding shipping options

Turning on a shipping option where Dave said to do so will only work for realtime shipping choices or product that use "Realtime Carrier" and have the carrier selected for that shipping option. To use real time shipping you would need to enable the carrier(s) you want to use at System Dashboard > Store > Shipping, but you would first have to create an account with that carrier on there site.

Since your using product based shipping then the misspelling is in the products and not coming from the realtime shipping choices.

Re: Adding shipping options

This is so confusing... I tried to activate USPS as a realtime carrier and I can't. This is what I got in Store: Realtime Carriers:

"Connection Active Status

This indicates whether or not the connection is active for this realtime shipping carrier. If the connection is not active and you would like to activate it, choose to configure a connection for the carrier.

False (0)"

And then in Connection URL:


"Connection Rate URL*

This URL is used for rate inquiries.

http://production.shippingapis.com/...


Connection Tracking URL*

This URL is used for tracking inquiries.

http://production.shippingapis.com/... "


There are no actual activation instructions to follow.

Re: Adding shipping options

For product based shipping you just need to enter the information in the products Product Based: Method 1, 2, and 3, adding more than three would probably need a mod to the shipping scripts to get them to work (my guess).

Re: Adding shipping options

That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out all day... There are only 3 options (Method 1, 2, and 3), all 3 are defined, and for that reason I need to create a new one. How do I do that? How do I create Method 4?

Re: Adding shipping options

You don't.  If you need more than 3 a custom shipping method would be more appropriate.

Regarding the typos you mention in post 3, I do not see any in a default installation of V7.  I'll need a specific location in admin to be able to locate them and get them corrected.

I would like to have some items that are set to "Call for shipping quote" and or "Pickup / Will Call" but when i set it either as a custom script or as product based it shows up with the word "Free" in place of where the $ amount would or should be which is $0.00

I have to put in a number when setting up the shipping message option and when ever the 0.00 is used it automatically puts in the word "Free" and shipping is not free that is miss leading i need a way to just put my two options which are: "Call for shipping quote" and or "Pickup / Will Call" with the price part a $0.00 or TBD (To be determined) Any thoughts on how to go about doing that?
