Hello Nate Gilmore,
We have partnered with Shipwire to sell our products from Website jjcrafts.com. The site has been designed on yahoo small business. As per the instructions given on shipwire, we enabled Real time link on Yahoo store expecting that we can have real time interface with shipwire on order / inventory / Shipping rates.
Configurations mentioned in Shipwire have been done in yahoo store. We are unable to provide real time access to the shipping rate from shipwire. We are ready to launch the site but are struck at this point.
Please advise if there are any other APIs, CGI or any other scripts that needs to be used to succesfully enable all the real time links.
Following is the real time link that has been included in the yahoo store for now .

Any assistance in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Make sure you are on the right yahoo plan first. Make sure their API is activated.
Our support team reached out to you to help troubleshoot and resolve this.
