dashCommerce

Has anyone been able to incorporate the UPS Shipping rates into the DashCommerce 3.0

Yes. :)

 I have FedEx and USPS queued as well too.

Do you have any specific questions?

I am not a programmer. However, I would like to be able to use UPS and Fedx for shipping providers. I would like for the customer to be to click and choose the shipping method and for the site to calculate and charge the shipping cost. I don't know what to do to implement that.

Given the situation, you can either wait until someone provides it on the dashCommerce.com website for sale, gives it to the project (why when you can make money?), or hire a programmer to do it for you.

Here are some of my general shipping provider implementation notes:

It is actually really straight forward to implement. If you have a programmer familiar with the dashCommerce solution, well under a day.

 Good luck.

Would you be willing to share some of your code and instructions for implementing fedx and ups?

I am always willing to answer questions or provide direction (as I have earlier in this thread) - however, my efforts for these providers was work I performed under contract with potential intent for resale on dashCommerce.com (just as Chris sells his Tax Provider.) I am unable to share the source as I do not own it, but the company that hired me to perform the customization.

But we all have a desire to improve our knowledge and work collectively.

If we try to make money off each other than open source fails.

However, if we continue to freely and willingly assist each other for free and make our living off the “customer”, than we will succeed.

Noble and ideal. But the core of the solution is open source, not the providers. The providers are opportunities (just as Chris does on dashCommerce.com) for him to generate some revenue from the effort.

Improving knowledge, sharing experience (which I have done) is consistent with the spirit of the project.

Giving you my work (which I do not own) is something completely different. There is a precedent, created by the authors of this open source project.

Don't give me grief, I didn't create the model - though I wholeheartedly support it.

The version 2.2 has the ability to use UPS which was created by open source. Does anyone have any guidance as to how to use the 2.2 UPS shipping code and upgrade it to work with version 3.0.

Share the wealth

I think it is a good idea to encourage member developers to create awesome codes for sale at very reasonable price. Otherwise dashCommerce could be gone one day in the name of open source. some people wants give away their code free but some don't have to. We don't need to blame one another. 

Thank you very much for the UPS Shipping Provider information. It works great. Thank you again.

Just wanted to take a moment to tell everyone of the great help Rob Bickel has been. If anyone is need of assitance for a fair price and quality work, I highly recommend Rob Bickel.
