SUMMARY

This extension provides a Shipping Calculator for use with Australia Post's eParcel Service.

Currently only tested against Spree 2-1 stable branch.

INSTALLATION

1. This gem requires xml parsing and several support gems. Use bundler to install. Add the following to your Gemfile

   gem 'spree_aus_post_shipping', github: 'mrmikemon/spree_aus_post_shipping'

2. Run bundler

   bundle install

CONFIGURATION

In your Spree Initialiser add the following lines

Spree::AusPostShipping::Config = Spree::AusPostShippingConfiguration.new
Spree::AusPostShipping::Config[ :origin_postcode ] =  < shipping origin postcode >
Spree::AusPostShipping::Config[ :default_width ] = < default width (cms) >
Spree::AusPostShipping::Config[ :default_height ] = < default height (cms)>
Spree::AusPostShipping::Config[ :default_length ] = < default length (cms) >
Spree::AusPostShipping::Config[ :default_weight ] = < default weight (cms) >
Spree::AusPostShipping::Config[ :api_key ] = < your API key from australia post >
Spree::AusPostShipping::Config[ :service_types ] = ['aus_parcel_regular']	# change for other shipping types

The Calculator will sum up any dimensions or weight information from order line items. If these aren't available then the shipping fees will be calculated with the default settings. The origin_postcode needs to the set to calculate the correct delivery fees. The service_type will select the type of shipping.

SEED DATA

  begin
    australia = Spree::Zone.find_by_name!("Australia")
    puts "found it"
  rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
    puts "Couldn't find 'Australia' zone."
    exit
  end

  shipping_category = Spree::ShippingCategory.find_or_create_by_name!('Default')

  shipping_methods = [
    {
      :name => "Australia Post eParcel",
      :zones => [australia],
      :calculator => Spree::Calculator::Shipping::AusPostShipping.create!,
      :shipping_categories => [shipping_category]
    },
  ]

  shipping_methods.each do |shipping_method_attrs|
    ship_method = Spree::ShippingMethod.create!(shipping_method_attrs )
    ship_method.save!
  end
