USPS "tesing" vs. "live" server

[LaniS]

This cart works fine for plain jane things. I bought this as part of an introductory package and I have been trying since November (at least) to get my international shipping by USPS set up since then.

Every time I try and get it set up to configure it, I get an error message that says, “

Authorization Error connecting to United States Postal Service Server: http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll.†I just spoke with someone at the USPS that says I need to connect to the “active†server, not the “testing server,†as indicated above. I have no clue on how to do this.

I am afraid that I am going to get overseas orders and will be tied to my $4.95 flat rate rather than what it really should be.

I also need to set up my by weight shipping domestically, but am trying to solve problems one at a time.

Thanks for any help that anyone can give me.

Make sure you are activated on the active server.
