We are having issues getting the shipping working all together. I cannot get the flat rate shipping to work, we have tried all other options and thought the flat rate might be an option but nothing, the only thing we can get to work is UPS and the rates are very high and we know people will not pay the fees.
Please advise steps to get the shipping working, it is holding up the launch of the site.
I have had no issues setting up flat rate shipping. There should be an option for that which is there by default when you install Nopcommerce - all you have to do is mark it as active and set the rate in Shipping Rate Computation Methods.
You may have other shipping options (like UPS or USPS) enabled - sounds like USPS to me. You need to mark all the ones that you're not using as not active (uncheck the active box) or just delete them if you don't plan to ever use them.
Just tried it, says SHIPPING OPTIONS COULD NOT BE LOADED. And i can't go any further, i turned them all to not active except the flat rate and still says that
