I received an email today from webtools@usps.gov with the following:

Is there anything that I need to do?

Thanks,

Ecommerce PlusASP v7.7.4 (but I'm updating to 7.8.4 today )

Hi Kelley
Both v7.7.4 and the latest versions use the secure form of the URL so it's possible this was sent in error. But it's a good idea to update anyway.

Hi Vince,

I figured you were on top of it!

I just updated to the lastest version of the software (ASP 7.8.4).


Thanks,
Kelley

Vince, for some reason we're still getting repeated warning emails from USPS with the subject line:

"USPS Web Tools Notice – MIGRATE NOW to USPS APIs to Avoid Service Disruption"

Here’s their documentation link:

https://www.usps.com/business/web-tools-apis/documentation-updates.htm

We're currently running v7.7.9, and knowing USPS I suspect these emails might be going out indiscriminately—without verifying whether a domain is already in compliance.

That said, I wanted to flag it just in case there’s anything that needs attention on our end.

Thanks as always for your help.

Hi Paul
This will be to do with the new API that USPS have that is now fully integrated into the current Advanced Release of the cart. However it has to be noted that it's not possible to rate more than one package at a time so the "pack separately" option isn't available. Also, they say the current API is ok till next year so I wouldn't rush to update.

Will the current PHP 7.8.7 take care of that USPS Web Tools API update?

Hi Tim
It will indeed.
