UPS Shipping API - ShipmentConfirmRequest Error

Question

Hello I am creating a wordpress website for a client using WooCommerce. The site is complete but the client wants the ability to create shipments from the shop_order page. I have most of this figured out, the problem is my XML request to the UPS API. I have checked and recheck, and I cant seem to find the error:

<ShipmentConfirmResponse><Response><ResponseStatusCode>0</ResponseStatusCode><ResponseStatusDescription>Failure</ResponseStatusDescription><Error><ErrorSeverity>Hard</ErrorSeverity><ErrorCode>10002</ErrorCode><ErrorDescription>The XML document is well formed but the document is not valid</ErrorDescription></Error></Response></ShipmentConfirmResponse>

Below is my xml mark up with sensitive info hidden.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<AccessRequest xml:lang='en-US'>
    <AccessLicenseNumber>******</AccessLicenseNumber>
    <UserId>********</UserId>

    </LabelImageFormat>

</ShipConfirmRequest>

I am almost there on this, but I am stuck at this road block. If anyone can shed some light into this it would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

It was the service code container it must be included in the package container. I had it before it. Took me quite a while to figure out this dumb mistake on my part.

Before:

...
<Service>
    <Code>03</Code>
</Service>
<Package>
    ...

After:

...
<Package>
    <Service>
        <Code>03</Code>
    </Service>
    ...

Thanks for the help, and yes UPS requires a strange XML format.
