Shopping Cart Shipping Methods are Unavailable

Question

I have to set shipping method to shopping cart , and i am able to display all the available shipping methods , and I have given valid shipping method as the input parameter to SOAP web service method "shoppingCartShippingMethod" so for this, Is there any need to change configuration at the Magento Admin Panel?

<?php
$proxy = new SoapClient('http://127.0.0.1/magento/index.php/api/v2_soap/?wsdl');

$sessionId = $proxy->login('cats', 'sudhir123');
echo "\nSession Id = ";
var_dump($sessionId);

$cartId = $proxy->shoppingCartCreate($sessionId, '3');
echo "\nCart Id = ";
var_dump($cartId);

$customerData = array(
"firstname" => "testFirstname",
"lastname" => "testLastName",
"email" => "[email protected]",
"mode" => "guest",
"website_id" => "0"
  );
$resultCustomerSet = $proxy->shoppingCartCustomerSet($sessionId, $cartId, $customerData);
echo "\nCustomer Set to Shopping Cart = ";
var_dump($resultCustomerSet);

$customeraddress = $proxy->shoppingCartCustomerAddresses($sessionId,     $cartId, array(array(
'mode' => 'billing',
'firstname' => 'Sudhir',
'lastname' => 'Belagali',
'street' => 'street address',
'city' => 'city',
'region' => 'region',
'postcode' => 'postcode',
'country_id' => 'US',
'telephone' => '123456789',
'is_default_billing' => 1
)));   
echo "\nCustomer Address Set to Shopping Cart = ";
var_dump($customeraddress);

$shoppingcartproduct = $proxy->shoppingCartProductAdd($sessionId,    $cartId, array(array(
'product_id' => '917',
'sku' => 'cricketbat',
'qty' => '5',
'options' => null,
'bundle_option' => null,
'bundle_option_qty' => null,
'links' => null
)));   
echo "\nProduct has been added to cart = ";
var_dump($shoppingcartproduct);


$cartInfo = $proxy->shoppingCartInfo($sessionId, $cartId);
echo "\nCart Information for this Cart Id is ( ".$cartId." )";
var_dump($cartInfo);


$result = $proxy->shoppingCartShippingList($sessionId, $cartId);   
echo "\nAvailable Shipping methods = ";
var_dump($result);
?>

Try to set the System > Configuration > Shipping Methods > "Show Method if Not Applicable" to Yes from the default "No" in the Magento Admin Panel.

Yes even I used to face this problem... Try doing this, it worked in my case:

SOAP REFERENCE - CART.CREATE From create cart, to add product to cart, to set customer to cart, adding address to cart everything, include a paramater named "store_id".. I know it is not properly shown for SOAP v2 for many of the SOAP calls.. But you can take reference from SOAP v1 and add this parameter like this below for all cases:

First of all to get store-id: do the following on the top of your code, I think you might be using this file out of magento environment keeping it in the root directory of magento..

require_once ("app/Mage.php");

umask(0);

Mage::app();

$url = Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_WEB);

session_start();

Mage::getSingleton("core/session", array("name" => "frontend"));

$storeid = Mage::app()->getStore()->getStoreId();

Now use this store-id to in following calls like this:

$result = $proxy->shoppingCartCreate($sessionId,$storeid);

$result = $proxy->shoppingCartProductAdd($sessionId, $quote_id, array(array( 'product_id' => $product_id, 'sku' => $sku, 'qty' => $qty, 'options' => null, )),$storeid);

$resultCustomerSet = $proxy->shoppingCartCustomerSet($sessionId, $result, $customerData,$storeid);

$result = $client->shoppingCartCustomerAddresses($session, $cart_id, $address,$storeid);

Now try to make this call :

$result = $client->shoppingCartShippingList($session, $cart_id,$storeid);

I am sure it will return you the shipping addresses.

Also, make sure you give same country in your address for which you have kept the shipping method enabled.

Try this

// get list of shipping methods

$resultShippingMethods = $proxy->shoppingCartShippingList($sessionId, array($shoppingCartId))

// set shipping method

$randShippingMethodIndex = rand(0, count($resultShippingMethods)-1 );
$shippingMethod = $resultShippingMethods[$randShippingMethodIndex]["code"];

$resultShippingMethod = $proxy->shoppingCartShippingMethod($sessionId,  array($shoppingCartId), $shippingMethod);
