Active Shipping

This is a Spree extension that wraps the popular active_shipping plugin.

UPS

You will need a UPS developer account to get rate quotes (even in development and test mode.) The UPS calculators also require that you set the following configuration properties.

Spree::ActiveShipping::Config[:origin_country]
Spree::ActiveShipping::Config[:origin_city]
Spree::ActiveShipping::Config[:origin_state]
Spree::ActiveShipping::Config[:origin_zip]
Spree::ActiveShipping::Config[:ups_login]
Spree::ActiveShipping::Config[:ups_password]
Spree::ActiveShipping::Config[:ups_key]

It will soon be possible to set these properties through a new admin configuration screen (even sooner if someone else writes the patch!)

Global Handling Fee

Spree::ActiveShipping::Config[:handling_fee]

This property allows you to set a global handling fee that will be added to all calculated shipping rates. Specify the number of cents, not dollars.

Using Migrations

If you'd like to set your shipping configuration as part of a migration you could add something like this to your site extension.

class AddUpsConfiguration < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    Spree::ActiveShipping::Config.set(:ups_login => "dpbrowning")
    Spree::ActiveShipping::Config.set(:ups_password => "doublewide")
    Spree::ActiveShipping::Config.set(:ups_key => "5B8DDE509EFDA5D6")
  end

  def self.down
  end
end
