Sales: Call 877.832.5289 (N America)Second release of Australia module
I’ve updated the version of the Australia module, which now includes Direct Deposit and BPAY payment methods. The install process for this version is a little more involved than the last one - instructions are again included on the release page. I’m not sure if there’s a better way to handle the changes to the template files so if anyone know a better wya please let me know.
Also, I’m pretty confident Direct Deposit is done and finished (it’s pretty simple after all) but I’ve never used BPAY before so I’m not sure if there’s anything else I need to add. Currently it takes a biller code and calculates an appropriate ref code from the customer number. I used the existing osCommerce BPAY module for the development of this.
If you’d like to follow along with the development of the Australia module, I try to post updates on my personal blog regularly.

Hi Chris.
Thanks for your great job for the Australia module. I have tried to install and use the Australia Post modules. However, if i set a weight of a product let say 3 kg, the shipping cost from Sydney to Melbourne should be $10.7 but it only showed me $4.00 (under 250gram). But if i set the weight to 30 kg, the correct rate $10.7 was showed. I am really confused with the setting for the weight because I don’t know the default unit for the weight ( is lbs or kg or something etc). Could you let me know how to setup the weight correctly?
Thanks a lot

Hi None,
You have just stumbled across a bug in my code. I had set it up to allow the admin to list weights in kilograms and have the shipping model convert it to grams. Unfortunately I left off a 0 in that calculation so the weight is actually being multiplied by 100 instead of 1000.
To fix this this you can change line 73 in file Australia/Model/Shipping/Carrier/Australiapost.php and change to “100” to “1000”. Or you could leave it off entirely and enter all the weights in grams. I will apply this fix for the next version of the module.
Hope that helps.

Hey Chris,
Any further additions to the Australia Module since we chatted. A client just asked about Paymate today and I mentioned it was under review by yourself.
Cheers

There are improvements to the BPAY and Direct Deposit methods for the next version, which was submitted to Magento Connect a while ago and is awaiting approval.
