ATS Healthcare Shipping add-on for CS-Cart

Live rates, labels, and tracking for ATS Healthcare — Canada’s cold-chain carrier

The ATS Healthcare add-on connects your CS-Cart store to ATS Healthcare, a Canadian carrier focused on temperature-controlled and time-critical deliveries. It is a great fit for stores shipping pharmaceuticals, life-sciences products, medical devices, and other cold-chain or compliance-sensitive items.

Once it is set up, your team (and your vendors, if you run a marketplace) can quote live ATS rates at checkout, book real shipments, print labels, follow tracking updates, and cancel shipments — all from the regular CS-Cart shipment screens, with no copy-pasting between systems. The add-on works standalone; paired with the CartModules: Advanced Shipping System foundation add-on you also get per-vendor credentials (Multi-Vendor editions only), multi-box shipment support, and centralized carrier status mapping shared across every installed carrier add-on.

Key Features

• Secure ATS Connection — a secure link to ATS Healthcare’s servers
• 9 ATS Services — Ground and Air options, including timed-delivery variants
• Live Rate Quotes — customers see real ATS rates at checkout
• One-Click Booking — create the shipment straight from the order screen
• PDF Labels — downloadable shipping labels in 4x4 and 4x6 sizes
• Live Tracking — pull the latest status any time and keep shipments in sync
• Safe Cancellation — cancel with a confirmation prompt so it can’t happen by accident
• Per-Vendor Accounts — each Multi-Vendor vendor can ship from their own ATS account
• Works With or Without the Framework — standalone, or with the Advanced Shipping System for shared status names

Supported Services

How It Works

1. Create a shipping method in CS-Cart, pick ATS Healthcare as the carrier, and choose one of the 9 services
2. Enter your ATS Healthcare login details on the shipping method (or, in vendor mode, each vendor enters their own)
3. At checkout, customers see live ATS rates and pick the option they want
4. When you’re ready to ship, open the order and click Create shipment — the add-on books it with ATS and saves the tracking number
5. From the shipment screen, print the PDF label, refresh tracking, or cancel the shipment
6. As ATS moves the package, the shipment and order statuses update on their own

Requirements

• CS-Cart Store Builder or Multi-Vendor (single or multiple storefronts) 4.6.3 or higher
• PHP 7.4 or higher (tested up to PHP 8.3)
• An ATS Healthcare account (Client ID, Client Secret, and Docket Code)
• Recommended: CartModules: Smart Shipping & Fulfillment Manager (the per-vendor credentials feature requires CS-Cart Multi-Vendor)

Installation

1. Go to Add-ons > Manage add-ons, click Manual installation, and upload the addon zip file
2. Activate the addon and enter the license key
