CanadaPost shipping plugin problem

-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : There is a mismatch between the endpoints and the authorization. Please ensure production keys are used with production endpoints and development keys are used with development endpoints.

Hi there,

I've configured my CanadaPost shipping plugin as per the instructions here: www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/3...dapost-adv-form.html

As far as I can tell, your plugin requires the postal code to be XXXXXX, but the format for Canadian postal codes is actually XXX XXX.

There's a space in the middle.

Is this what is causing the problem, and if so, how can I change it? People will enter their postal codes with the space most of the time.

I also found this, which indicates that this might be a coding error with the plugin? github.com/verbb/postie/issues/25

Please advise how to fix the postal code field (if required) to accept postal codes with spaces where they're supposed to be OR no space, and how to resolve the endpoint issue.

I changed that and tested again. Got this. Seems like the space is a problem?

Thanks, that fixed it.

However, it looks like there isn't any option for oversized letter mail.

When you're shipping smaller items, like books, very often, they will fit into oversized letter mail, which is much more cost-effective. In fact, anything that is under 500 grams and fits the dimensions specified would be shipped with this method inside Canada

Is there any way to add that option to the list of options for the CanadaPost plugin? It is limited to certain sizes and dimensions if that is a factor.

I considered putting in a flat rate for that option and using minimum weights and sizes to restrict the Canada Post option to anything larger than that, but you only have a total volume option, so I can't override the individual dimensions. I'd need to be able to specify the length, width and thickness of each item to do that.

Here's a link to that page in case you need more information to update the plugin: www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/su...ze-requirements.page ?

Hi,

The Library Books service is only for actual libraries. This is not a library. What I need is oversized letter mail.

Failing that, I need to have the option to exclude it based on the dimensions of the items - length, breadth, and thickness. Currently, your plugin only has volume, which won't work because if ANY of the dimensions exceed the Canada Post parameters (as per the link), it changes the shipping options.

So, I need you to enable oversized letter mail or change the volume parameters to individual dimensions rather than a single number.

Your plugin is built for people who ship larger items, but many online sellers ship small items, and currently, it does not offer the functionality required for shipping those small items cost-effectively.

I don't know how this helps, but this is how the WooCommerce platform integrates the oversized letter mail option in their CanadaPost plugin. www.pluginhive.com/canada-post-letter-ma...r-woocommerce-users/

Hi,

I actually already did that exact thing.

I have to manually assign the warehouse to the products that meet all the parameters, but it does work for now.

I'll contact CanadaPost and find out if they can add letter mail to their API. It's silly that it's not there already.

It would be really good if the shipping configuration included length, breadth and width rather than just volume. A lot of shippers have specific criteria for that. Even if you want to use flat rate options from them, you need to be able to fit them into a specific box, so you need to be able to configure that.
