Onboarding Requirements

Before configuring UPS (REST) in techSHIP, gather the required credentials and verify the required account settings.

Information to be Provided

The following credentials and data points must be available before starting the setup:

Settings to be Verified

The following account configurations must be validated to prevent errors during the connection setup:

Any missing, non-validated, incorrect setup or information will delay the setup process.

UPS no longer provides the connection keys used by the legacy SOAP integration. UPS stopped providing connection keys on June 1, 2023 as the carrier migrated its connection functionality to REST.

Setup Articles

Use the setup articles below to complete the setup in order. Start with onboarding requirements, then configure the Baseline Account and Client (Billing) Account.

Carrier Specifications and Constraints

This section outlines confirmed operational behaviors, label support, and limitations specific to UPS (REST).

Labels

The following label format is confirmed by the legacy UPS Baseline configuration:

Operational Details

• The UPS (REST) registration process authorizes the carrier connection and applies the resulting connection information to the Baseline Account.
• When UPS Mail Innovations rates are required, additional Mail Innovations customer information is used for rating.
• If UPS Mail Innovations requires a packaging option that is not compatible with regular UPS service packaging, configure a separate Client (Billing) Account profile using a package type valid for the service.

Next Steps

After reviewing the onboarding requirements, continue with the Reference Data: UPS (REST) Baseline Account Fields [Guide] article to configure the carrier connection in techSHIP.
