UPS Real Time setup VP-ASP 5.00
Jan 11, 2004

Summary
This code interfaces to the UPS to obtain real time shipping rates
It is based On Version 1.2 of UPS Online Tools 
 
UPSReal time requires Microsoft's XML DLL to be on your server.
Because of recent problems with XML this version can also use
ASPTEAR or DYNUHTTP

1. Copy all these these files to the VP-ASP install directory
   upsrealtime.asp      - New
   upsrealtransport.asp - New
   upsrealconfig.asp    - New
   upsrealinterface.asp - New


2. Change VP-ASP Shop Configuration values

xShippingCalc="Other"   
' You merchant zip code
xMerchantShipZip="33313"      

3. Add 1 additional selection to your current shipmethods table
   It can be any name you want. In the Filename field (shiproutine) add the value
   upsrealtime.asp. 
   

How it Works

VP-ASP will display the normal shipping forms. If UPS is selected as the shipping
method the file upsrealtime.asp will be called before shopcreateorder.asp
It will determine the UPS rates based on the weight being shipping and
display a new dropdown list with different UPS options
Customer then selects appropriate shipping method.

If an error occurs connecting to UPS, an error is displayed and customer can either
retry or select a non UPS shipping method.

Using Different Transport Methods
Your server may or may not have the XML DLL required for this file.
Supported methods are XML3, XML4, ASPTEAR and DUNHTTP
ASPTEAR and DUNUHTTP can be supplied on request

In upsrealconfig.asp you can determine te transport method by
this line
Const Interface= "XML2"

A quote makes the line a comment. So to use XML4 it would look like

'Const Interface= "XML3"
Const Interface= "XML4"
'Const Interface= "ASPTEAR"
'Const Interface= "DYNUHTTP"
'Const Interface= "XML2"

For more information on Microsoft XML DLLS please see
