Installation

UPS Setup

To use the UPS shipping extension, you will need to set up a UPS account. You can do this by visiting the UPS developer website and creating an account.

Once you have created an account, you will need to set up a UPS API key. You can do this by making a new app. Once your app is created you will add the following APIs to the app: Rating, Pickup, and Shipment.

Configuration

The UPS Shipping extension will automatically add shipping method options to your checkout. To display the shipping options inside your checkout tag, use the {field:shipping_method} variable. For more information, see the Checkout Tag Shipping Methods.
