getpaid.ups 0.3

0.4 (unreleased)

0.3 (2008-08-29)

• Added buildout files and general text documents to project root.

Usage

First we need to create an instance of a UPS rating utility and configure it with our UPS Account Information. In order to run the unit tests in this package the values for UPS_USERNAME, UPS_PASSWORD, UPS_ACCESS_KEY need to be setup in the shell/process environment.

Also note that rates.py currently returns FakeResponse( ) to these requests. To get a real response from the server, simply comment that line (#66) out.

>>> from getpaid.ups import interfaces
>>> from getpaid.ups.rates import UPSRateService
>>> ups = UPSRateService()
>>> ups.username = UPS_USERNAME
>>> ups.password = UPS_PASSWORD
>>> ups.access_key = UPS_ACCESS_KEY
>>> ups.pickup_type = '01'

We need to explicitly specify which ups services we’re allowing for a store.

>>> ups.services = interfaces.UPS_SERVICES.by_value.keys()

Origin Information

We also need to configure our store to setup a default origin location for packages to originate from. for brevity, we’ve done configured the store settings in the test setup with a san francisco address.

Creating an Order to Ship

Let’s create an order with some items we’d like to have shipped.

>>> from getpaid.core import order, item, cart
>>> myorder = order.Order()
>>> myorder.shopping_cart = mycart = cart.ShoppingCart()
>>> mycart
<getpaid.core.cart.ShoppingCart object at ...>

>>> line_item = item.ShippableLineItem()
>>> line_item.item_id = "sku-code-1"
>>> line_item.quantity = 2
>>> line_item.weight = 5.5
>>> mycart[ line_item.item_id ] = line_item

Destination Information

We need some additional information for an order to successfully process it, first some contact information:

>>> from getpaid.core import payment
>>> user_contact = payment.ContactInformation()
>>> user_contact.name = "John Smith"
>>> user_contact.email = "js@example.org"
>>> user_contact.phone_number = '7033291513'
>>> myorder.contact_information = user_contact

and of course a place to ship to:

>>> ship_address = payment.ShippingAddress()
>>> ship_address.ship_same_billing = False
>>> ship_address.ship_first_line = '2702 Occidental Dr'
>>> ship_address.ship_city = 'Vienna'
>>> ship_address.ship_state = "VA"
>>> ship_address.ship_country = "US"
>>> ship_address.ship_postal_code = '22180'
>>> myorder.shipping_address = ship_address

Getting Shipping Options

Now we can query UPS to find out the various services, delivery windows, and

prices that UPS can offer for transit.

>>> results = ups.getRates( myorder )
>>> results.shipments.sort( lambda x,y:cmp(x.cost,y.cost) )
>>> methods = results.shipments
>>> len(methods)
6

Prices will vary over time, for testing purposes, we sort and compare the expected serices types by cost (low to high)

>>> methods[0].service
u'UPS Ground'
>>> methods[1].service
u'UPS Three Day Select'
>>> methods[2].service
u'UPS 2nd Day Air'
>>> methods[3].service
u'UPS Next Day Air Saver'

Failure Modes

if the store shipping information isn’t setup correctly we get a type error asking to look at the store settings.

>>> from zope.component import getUtility
>>> from getpaid.core.interfaces import IStoreSettings
>>> settings = getUtility( IStoreSettings )
>>> settings.contact_state = ""
>>> ups.getRates( myorder )
