I want to calculate shipping rate using UPS api in magento.

I will pass lenght, width, height and zipcode the UPS api will return shipping rate for that product.

I got the UPS rating API that will calculate the shipping rate from the below url after you login.

https://www.ups.com/upsdeveloperkit/downloadresource?loc=en_US

The development guide shows we can implement this using xml or SOAP call.

Can anyone tell me how exactly can I implement this in magento if possible explain it at coding level.

You dont need to code your own api access. Just use the ootb UPS core extension.

  1. Goto class Mage_Usa_Model_Shipping_Carrier_Ups
  2. Goto line 907 (something like that) and change the part from
<Package>
  <PackagingType><Code>{$params['48_container']}</Code></PackagingType>
  <PackageWeight>
     <UnitOfMeasurement><Code>{$r->getUnitMeasure()}</Code></UnitOfMeasurement>
    <Weight>{$params['23_weight']}</Weight>
  </PackageWeight>
</Package>

to

<Package>
  <PackagingType><Code>{$params['48_container']}</Code></PackagingType>
    <Dimensions>
              <UnitOfMeasurement>
                  <Code>CM</Code>
              </UnitOfMeasurement>
              <Length>30</Length>
              <Width>30</Width>
              <Height>30</Height>
  </Dimensions>
  <PackageWeight>
     <UnitOfMeasurement><Code>{$r->getUnitMeasure()}</Code></UnitOfMeasurement>
    <Weight>{$params['23_weight']}</Weight>
  </PackageWeight>
</Package>

Just use some variables to change 30 to whatever you want. It works, i tried it!

Good luck!
