Partners helping partners – Mike Masin of ATStuff.com Helping

May 13th, 2011

I wanted to take the time to write about an experience YourHost.com had with Mike Maison of ATStuff.com. Yesterday, YourHost.com had a current 8year plus hosted customer that needed to update his UPS shipping code so they could perform live calculated and negotiated UPS rates for it’s customer. I contacted him and he called the next day which was awesome. We have an in-house programmer and before I turned it over to him, we were asking Mike if he could share some direction so our in-house API programmer Josh Duffy, had a solid proven starting point or direction to apply the API to our ShopSite Pro customer.

Behind the scenes – Mike was Referred the “Mr. Wonderful”,  Guy Pribyl of ShopSite. Mike graciously gave of his time to assist us with a direction to go so we could return a concise solution for our customer. In addition, Mike and would not take a compensation in exchange and has set the bar for coder ethics in a somewhat selfish “whats in it for me?” world.

YourHost.com looks forward to returning the favor and hopes this post will return new clients to Mikes business.

Thank you Mike, Look for him in the ShopSite partner

Shopping Cart International Shipping is Here and ShopSite Integration is Near

February 4th, 2011

So, you are getting more and more request for International Shipping right? I thought so.

We have joined forces with a company that will take 100% of the pain of calculation and shipping away from you without breaking the bank. In the meantime we have a small peek at the manual calculator that will get you in the ballpark for calculating International Shipping.

There are a few pieces of Information you will be required to know when filling this out and when adding them to your ShopSite database.

1. DDP – Prepaid fees prior to shipping which is typically the selection of Choice.

There is also DDU – Which duties and taxes are collected by the shipper.

2. Height , Width, Depth of the package.

3. Weight of the package and box.

That is it for now, the system will calculate the charges and get you in the ballpark.

Try it here -

When you do Integrate you will need to do the following -

1. Add all dimensions of Height, Weight, and Depth, along with Weight  per product into your database. You will need to add an HS code field to your Database and if you do not have one, do not worry as we can add it for you.

2. You will then send this database to us to get each product classified with an International HS code.

3. We will return this db with all your new HS code in them.

4. You will be given a login to your portal which will allow you to generate a Mail Box number, which will be your account id along with an API Key.

5. Once you have your portal setup with a Mailbox, you can login to the account area using the same login id for your portal, so you can submit your Company Information, along with On file, Credit Card information that will allow you to run manual International Shipping.

5. In the meantime, our programmers will work with your company to integrate the fully automated International Shipping code and solution into your ShopSite store.

How does it all work? Simple

1. The International Customer Shops on your site and checks out and selects an Inserted and Integrated International shipping button or link in the Check out process.

2. They enter all their shipping information and the system calculates ALL THE ASSOCIATED FEES.

3. You ship to a central location in the US and Your done

4. The Fulfillment company is responsible for the rest.

A – Yes

2. Q- Who is the Shipping Company?

A – DHL
