[Split from Royal Mail Advanced thread]
Does this push the shipping information to the company? Or does it have to be manually sent?

Bit of confusion on what you mean here...jonathan2 wrote:Does this push the shipping information to the company? Or does it have to be manually sent?
If you're referring to the pricing data, it's based on a file local to the Interspire cart installation so there's no push/pull involved.
The process for updating postal rates currently requires the cart owner to download the latest revision but I intend to make that a pull based system in the future, although it will check for current support/subscription.
If, however you meant the shipping information for actual dispatch, then Royal Mail doesn't work this way as it's not a courier...
If you can clarify what you meant I can provide a better answer.
Re: [Module] Royal Mail Advanced
Can we invoke shipping module functions when we checkout(ie aftre the payments are made and order is confirmed)
or is there any event handlers for that?

Ah... tbh, not sure...jonathan2 wrote:Can we invoke shipping module functions when we checkout(ie aftre the payments are made and order is confirmed)

If you are going to find anything along those lines it'll be in the fedex, UPS and possible Canadapost shipping modules as they seem to be using the API... I have my doubts though...
You'd probably have to create an extended class of your own to provide the hooks.. Have you looked into the API documentation to see if that offers any help?
Re: [Module] Royal Mail Advanced
Yes have looked and it does not look like it is anywhere to be found.
Do those automatically send the info once the order is placed?
It does not look like any of those send the info.
did you get the file of the module?
If not let me know and I will send it along.

In all honesty, no I don't think they do...jonathan2 wrote:Yes have looked and it does not look like it is anywhere to be found.

I suspect you would have to write your own API to handle that side of things but if your shipper has an API system then it's really a case of writing something that opens a socket or uses CURL/SOAP to interact. Fair bit of work though.
Yeah, I got it... had a long day sorting out a DOA server so unlikely I'll get a chance to look at it for a few days.. Lot to get done.did you get the file of the module?

Re: Shipping Modules
I/we got this to work and are open to selling it to others.
