On the other hand, the USPS API offers more advanced features for complex shipping solutions, including bulk shipping, custom logistics, and enterprise-level integration. While both APIs are used for interacting with USPS services, the Web Tools API is simpler, while the USPS API is better suited for larger operations needing a more comprehensive shipping and logistics system.

We are WHY2 in the Market Place and have been using the latest USPS API for cart versions starting with 1.4.0 and forward.

Can you please explain what you are referring to "suited for larger operations needing a more comprehensive shipping and logistics system."  What do you think is missing?

has there EVER been a solution to this??  USPS has disabled the extension at this point and it's no longer usable as it sits.  Any help in getting it working again?

Yes, there is progress on this.

The USPS extension is currently in development and has already been updated in the 1.4.4 branch. You can try the latest version here:
https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/tree/1.4.4/public_html/extensions/usps

An official release is coming soon, so this issue is actively being worked on.

This discussion highlights a common challenge when working with detailed permission settings in platforms like AbanteCart. Clear documentation would definitely make things easier for users managing roles and access. Just like custom gift boxes with logo simplify branding, well organized guides can greatly improve usability and understanding for developers and store owners

The USPS Web Tools API provides basic functionalities like tracking, rate calculations, address validation, and label generation, making it ideal for small businesses or e-commerce websites needing simple integration. It requires a USPS Web Tools account and is easy to set up. On the other hand, the USPS API offers more advanced features for complex shipping solutions, including bulk shipping, custom logistics, and enterprise-level integration. While both APIs are used for interacting with USPS services, the Web Tools API is simpler, while the USPS API is better suited for larger operations needing a more comprehensive shipping and logistics system.

Hello.
No, you cannot use 1.3.4 database directly with 1.4.3

If you want to move to 1.4.3, the safer option is to export your products from 1.3.x and then import them back into a fresh 1.4.3 installation.

If you still have your 1.3.4 files and database, another option is to hire professionals to perform the upgrade for you. In that case, they may be able to migrate the store properly and preserve most of your existing data and setup.

Hello.
Thank you for sharing this fix. This will definitely help others running into the same issue.

Quick question: Did you update using Softaculous or the native AbanteCart updater? It would be useful to know which method left the permissions at 0777.

Fast Checkout uses a different layout, so normal blocks break due to CSS conflicts. I recommend using supported positions and simplify or override the block's CSS.

General Support / Migration from older Abante ca...

Last post by AsatruAlliance - March 29, 2026, 03:23:00 PM

after having months of issues, and being unable to update (because c-panel/Installatron hates me?), and manual updates failing - I'm installing an entirely new version of Abante Cart - however, my old version/DBs are 1.3.2. While I did a full DB backup (the old site is still installed), I'm not certain that the old database will import into 1.4.3.
I would really love to not lose all my history (or have to re-load hundreds of products and options manually) - is there anything I can do, or am I just SOL?
I searched the forums, but can't locate anything that quite addresses my issue here.
Thanks so much for help in advance.
