Customers can choose from the available rates returned by the lookup and checkout. This ensures they are paying the correct amount.
When using Individual Package mode, CP will return the recommended box size for combined item shipping and it will be stored in the order comments.

Your host must allow php curl or fsock connections
Your host must unblock port 30000 (outbound)
You must have a Sellonline API account (will NOT work with the new Canadapost API accounts)

To test if port 30000 is unblocked, use the included "canada_post_test.php" file by uploading it to your site root and opening that file from a browser.
You need to have the vQmod Engine installed from http://vqmod.com for the box sizes to be written to the order comments.
