Shipping Module – New Features – V2.03
New Features – Fedex, USPS, UPS shipping modules
The Shipping Module is fairly self explanatory, instructions are included in each section. If your are planning on using anything other then Flat Rate shipping you will need to setup accounts with the shippers you wish to use. A link is provided to the respective shipper(s) inside of each section.
Flat Rate – is for those who offer free shipping or charge a fixed rate for shipping, stetup is straight forward.
Shipping Module> Flat Rate>Edit
On the Flat Rate management page click on the edit button, on new page will open called “modify flat rate”
If you wish to enable a flat rate charge select “true”, if you wish to disable a flat rate charge select “false” if you are enabling a flat rate charge enter the amount you wish to charge in the “flat rate shipping charge” box then click submit.
The Shipping module now includes the ability to interface in real time with Federal Express, USPS and UPS’ shipping rates databases. In order to use these services you need to register for an account with each service then you will have the necessary information required by MemberSpeed to activate this part of the shipping module. I do not need to register with all three services if you only want to use one.
Once you have registered and have a active shipping account you are ready to setup your shipping service, be sure to select “:test” mode when doing the initial setup as you need to test the system.
click on the service you wish to use and fill out the form then click submit. Now you need to test the service by creating test purchases to verify the correct shipping option(s) and shipping charges are shown and recorded.
Tip: Be sure to fill out the forms completely and throughly test each shipper setup before turning it on live. This will save hours of frustration later.
