Might be better as new module?

brockf commented 11 years ago

This should be integrated via this API: https://rocketship.it/products/ups

However, we need to find a client who can fund this development. It would be a serious undertaking. Likely quoted at $1000 to $2000.

We have integrated RocketShip in a couple sites now, and I've made basic modifications to Hero to support hooks for this. It works pretty good but could always be better, since it requires still editing their config files by hand, etc.

The initial thought was also that we might want to put out our own, since RocketShipIt is a paid product.

Awesome - glad to hear it's been integrated. Too much work to build something from scratch by ourselves.

How much work would it be to create a "RocketShip" module which works largely out of the box?

What kind of features were you thinking for that? We could take one of the current implementations and package it up pretty quickly, but I think that we'd hit a wall flexibility wise. Both of the implementations required some custom coding in the library for things like excluding certain items from air-shipping, restricting the type of shipping allowed, etc.

I know so little about it that I couldn't say. Is there a way, for each of our "shipping types", to just set some sort of ID or basic configuration that can be passed to RocketShip?

If you think this is too much work, I'm cool to kill it. Very few people use Hero for shippable products.
