Hello Adam,

Everything seemed to be fine with the USPS Avanced shipping app. I was using the original "web tools API Username" from my working site. It was working and everything but then this e-mail arrived :-

---------

You are receiving this message because you have been identified as an integrator that is still utilizing a non-secure Web Tools endpoint (http://production.shippingapis.com/). Please use the Web Tools Secure Production endpoint (https://production.shippingapis.com/) to avoid any possible service disruptions

(By the way the links are odd being the same and also don't work just show a rather odd xml file).

---------

So I went to USPS  https://developers.usps.com/  and logging in under my original info. went though the steps and ended up with a Consumer Key and a Consumer Secret key from the Credentials section. Also called client ID and a client secret, respectively. No sign or mention of a "web tools API Username" anywhere.

I replaced the "old" API username with both the Consumer key and aslo tried the Secret key neither worked. Thinking perhaps the name had been changed from the old j2store. So then I placed the old key back in there and of course it worked. So not wanting to be a "bad integrator" I wondered what I missed.

(Been called a lot of things but "bad intergrator" seems rather ominous, will that give me cred if I go to a tec show?)

Hi Adam,

That would be great, thank you.

Hi Adam,

I looked in my extentions update and found this message.

Update: Could not open update site #10 "J2Commerce USPS Advanced Shipping", URL: https://updates.j2commerce.com/j2store/plg_j2store_shipping_uspsadvanced.xml

I can not tell when it was sent as I don't see a date anywhere. But I guess this is why my shipping app has not updated as yet.

Tried seeing if it worked in my browser but I got a 404. So again I assume it is a problem in the path or something.

Thanks

Hi Adam,

No I'm not worried about you forgetting, one just has to look at the other tickets to imagine your work load, plus I know you have other work to keep the wolves from the door anyway. Its not a panic problem, and its not like I don't have a few other things on the site to keep me busy.

Hi Adam,

I am very close to making my site live, unfortunately I am still getting the

==> Update: Could not open update site #10 "J2Commerce USPS Advanced Shipping", URL: https://updates.j2commerce.com/j2store/plg_j2store_shipping_uspsadvanced.xml

showing up quite often. Just wondered how thing were progressing?.

Thanks James

Hi Oliver,

The USPS Advanced app has updated, thanks for enabling that to work. Just wondering if I need to get or purchase a License key to complete the job.

James  

Ok Oliver, Just let me know, happy to cough up some cash for you. 

I have some more questions of course but I will open another Ticket for those.

James
