I have a client who sells car parts and wants to be able to conduct sales on line, including credit card processing. That means we're going to have to calculate shipping costs, I think, so that his site knows the entire price of the order at the time of placing it.
Up until now, he's been able to get away with processing the order, then personally working out the best way to ship the goods, calling the courier or shipping company, then calling his customer back with the total value of the order then processing the credit card transaction manually. This was a workaround a couple of years ago when we first built the site, but it is too cumbersome now and we need to automate it. How are the rest of you handling shipping costs? The goods, being car parts, are sometimes really bulky, like a racing seat, sometimes small, like a set of spark plugs, sometimes heavy like a Diff assembly or a gearbox or an alloy racing wheel hub. Is there any shipping company handling all-around-Australia shipping that would have an API that I could use to work out the value of the shipping costs? UPS and FEDEX do this in the USA, and presumably are possibilities for us here too, Is there anyone else I should consider? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion Enterprise, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
