You can can request an authentication key by logging into Worldwide Express’s online shipping system ( speedship.wwex.com ) and navigating to Services > Web Services. An authentication key will be emailed to you, usually within the hour.
How do I get a license key for this Magento extension?
You must register your installation of the extension, regardless of whether you are taking advantage of the trial period or purchased a license outright. At the conclusion of the registration process an email will be sent to you that will include the license key. You can also login to eniture.com using the username and password you created during the registration process and retrieve the license key from the My Licenses tab.
How do I change my license from the trial version to one of the paid subscriptions?
Login to eniture.com and navigate to the My Licenses tab. There you will be able to manage the licensing of all of your Eniture Technology extensions.
How do I install the extension on another website?
The extension has a single site license. To use it on another website you will need to purchase an additional license. If you want to change the website with which the extension is registered, login to eniture.com and navigate to the My Licenses tab. There you will be able to change the domain name that is associated with the license key.
Do I have to purchase a second license for my staging or development site?
No. Each license allows you to identify one domain for your production environment and one domain for your staging or development environment. The rate estimates returned in the staging environment will have the word “Sandbox” appended to them.
Why isn’t the extension working on my other website?
If you can successfully test your credentials using the Test Connection button (System > Configuration > Shipping Methods > Worldwide Express Small Packages) then you have one or more of the following licensing issues: 1) You are using the license key on more than one domain. The licenses are for single sites. You will need to purchase an additional license. 2) Your trial period has expired. 3) Your current license has expired and we have been unable to process your form of payment to renew it. Login to eniture.com and go to the My Licenses tab to resolve any of these issues.
Why were the shipment charges I received on the invoice from Worldwide Express different than what was quoted by the application?
The rates will be the same if the shipment parameters used to obtain the quote are exactly the same as those that were used for the invoice. Compare the shipment parameters in the application with those on the invoice. Pay close attention to product weight, dimensions and various accessorial fees like residential delivery. Consider making changes as needed. Remember that the weight of packaging materials is included in the weight of the shipment and that your use of box size may also have an impact on the shipment’s billable weight. If you are unable to reconcile the differences call your local Worldwide Express office for assistance.
Why do I sometimes get a message that a shipping rate estimate couldn’t be provided?
There are several possibilities:
UPS has restrictions on a shipment’s maximum weight, length and girth which your shipment may have exceeded.
There wasn’t enough information about the weight or dimensions for the products in the shopping cart to retrieve a shipping rate estimate.
The Worldwide Express web service isn’t operational.
Your Worldwide Express account has been suspended or cancelled.
Your subscription to the application has expired because payment could not be processed.
There is an issue with the Eniture Technology servers.
There is an issue with the server that hosts your installation of Magento.

8. Identify your warehouse and dropship locations |
Return to top. |
Click the Add button in the appropriate sections to add warehouse and drop ship locations.
If you ship products from only one location, add the location as a warehouse and proceed to the next step.
If you ship from more than one location, then you need to understand the distinction the programming makes between warehouses and drop ship locations.
Warehouses are understood to have a complete inventory of all products not otherwise assigned to a drop ship location. If you have more than one warehouse defined, the warehouse closest to the shopper will be used to retrieve the shipping rate estimates. When you have more than one warehouse defined, the relationship between a product (that is not assigned to a drop ship location) and warehouses is one-to-many.
Drop ship locations usually represent vendors that supply items that you don’t inventory. These items are shipped directly to your customer on your behalf. Items that ship from a drop ship location are assigned to the drop ship location in the product settings. The item is understood to only ship from that location. The relationship between a product assigned to a drop ship location and the drop ship location is one-to-one.
If you have only drop ship locations (no warehouses), a recommended best practice is to define the drop ship location that sources most of your orders as a warehouse instead of a drop ship location. This insures that quotes will be returned in the event you forget to assign a product to a drop ship location.
When an order includes drop shipped items the shopping cart will display a single figure for the shipping rate estimate that is equal to the sum of the cheapest option for each shipment required to fulfill the order.
Warehouses versus Drop Ship Locations
Street Address | Optional. Enter the street address for the location. This will be displayed along with the city, state, and postal code when the setting for in-store pick up is enabled. |

10. Identify your standard box sizes |
Return to top. |
If your operation uses standard box sizes for fulfillment, you can achieve hyper-accurate shipping rate estimates by utilizing the Standard Box Sizes add-on module.
The plugin will identify the best box(es) to use for the order and include the packaging solution when requesting rates from the carrier. The packaging solution is saved as a step-by-step graphical illustration which you can access from the Order View page. Use the step-by-step instructions to pack the order exactly as it was quoted.
If you have the Standard Box Sizes module installed, Standard Box Sizes will appear as an option in the module’s navigation menu. If it doesn’t and you want to use this feature, go to the Standard Box Sizes product page and download the installation file.
If you elect not to use the Standard Box Sizes module, or it is disabled, the app will identify a packaging solution for the order using a free built in algorithm that calculates virtual box sizes that are within the carrier’s service guidelines. The built in algorithm will be sufficient for some merchants, particularly those whose shipping charges are not affected by dimensional weight rules.
Dimensional weight is an extremely important factor when calculating rates for parcel services. Have a clear understanding of the topic when deciding whether or not to use the Standard Box Sizes module. (Learn more about dimensional weight)
To identify your boxes and manage your box related settings, click on Standard Box Sizes in the module’s navigation menu.
Below is an excerpt from the Standard Box Sizes User’s Guide to assist you with populating the associated settings.
Auto-renew | Choose a plan that best meets your needs. The credit card associated with Small Package Quotes module license will be billed immediately and the plan will become your current plan.

To add a box, click the Add Box button. A popup will display prompting you for the following information about the box:
Nickname | Enter a nickname for the box. The nickname will be used to identify the box in the graphical illustration of the packaging solution. |
Box Type | Choose a box type from the drop-down list. Choose Merchant defined box for boxes you purchase from a supplier like Uline. If the box came from a carrier (e.g., FedEx, UPS, USPS), choose the entry that most accurately describes it.
