The Carrier-Based Shipping Components<br />

In order for your <strong>StoreFront</strong> web to calculate shipping using the Carrier-Based Shipping Rates,<br />

your host must install some software on the server where your site is hosted. The UPS and<br />

FedEx shipping methods require the installation of the <strong>StoreFront</strong> Server Component on the<br />

server where the site is hosted. This component can be obtained by your host at our Web<br />

Host <strong>Support</strong> Site on www.<strong>StoreFront</strong>.net.<br />

In order to use the USPS shipping methods, you must first establish an account with USPS<br />

and your host must install the USPS shipping components (httpcom.dll and httpclient.dll) on<br />

the server where your site is hosted. Your host can obtain these components from USPS.<br />

Methods.<br />

Additional USPS Shipping Configuration Requirements<br />

<strong>StoreFront</strong> supports three different types of Carrier-Based Shipping, which calculate the<br />

shipping cost of an order based on the total weight and dimensions of the items ordered.<br />

These are UPS, FedEx, and USPS. UPS and FedEx rate calculations are provided by the<br />

<strong>StoreFront</strong> Server Component, which can be downloaded from our Web Host <strong>Support</strong> Site. In<br />

order to support USPS rate calculation, there are some additional configuration tasks you<br />

must perform. Follow the instructions below to configure your site to use USPS shipping<br />

rates.<br />

Note: UPS and FedEx rates can be supported through the use of the <strong>StoreFront</strong> Server<br />

Component without the configuration of USPS, and vice versa.<br />

1. Contact your host. Determine whether the USPS server components (httpCom.dll and<br />

httpClient.dll) have already been installed on the server where your site is hosted. If<br />

the answer is no, then ensure that the host is amenable to installing these components<br />

on the server where your site is hosted.<br />

2. Register with USPS online at http://www.uspsprioritymail.com/et_regcert.html. After<br />

registration, you will be provided with a username and password via email.<br />

3. If your host has not already installed the USPS server components on the server<br />

where your site is hosted, use the information provided in the email to obtain these<br />

components. USPS will require you to read, sign, and submit a license agreement via<br />
