UPS Integration

The UPS (United Parcel Services) shipping method calculates shipping in real time as customers check out through the shopping cart. These shipping fees are determined by customer location, delivery type, and current UPS rates. You can include several different UPS options with different levels of pricing (e.g. Next Day, Ground). The customer chooses their preference based on price and urgency.

You can only use this option if you have a shipping account with UPS or register for a new account. After you create the My UPS account, you'll need to create a UPS Shipping Account.

Weight Restrictions. Make sure your products fall within the 150 lb / 70 kg UPS weight restrictions. Read more here.
