Re: UPS Shipping Returns $0.00 (Continued ... No Solution)
Check to make sure that the entry in the shipping.asc for the shipping
type matches the name of the _database_ in which the UPS data is stored.
UPS uses two files. One is a table that looks up the appropriate zone for
your zip code. Normally, it is named YYY.csv where YYY are the first
three digits of your zip code. Check in the catalog.cfg file for the
following line:
UpsZoneFile products/940.csv
I had an error for several days where the file on disk was named 940.csv,
but I had 940.ASC in the catalog.cfg entry. Ooops. If you see an error
when bringing up Minivend that says "... error finding zone file..." or
something about zone files, it usually means that it can't find the zone
file it expects.
My UPS price table is called Ground.csv. It is in the products
directory as well. The line that calls it is:
upsg UPS Ground 0 150 u Ground [default zip 940] round
The "Ground" after the "u" in the above line must be the same as the name
of the _database_ entry in catalog.cfg:
Database Ground Ground.csv CSV
If any one of these things does not match, you won't get any shipping
calculations. The system is a little, er, fragile.
Due to the error messages you seem to have, I suspect that the country
selection is working. It is trying to call UPS shipping.
In all the above, change "940" to be the first three digits of your
zipcode.
Best,
Kyle
