Setting up UPS integration

To start using UPS integration in ShopCtrl we need to get the following data about your UPS account:

  • User name
  • Password
  • Access license number
  • Shipper account number

User name and Password are the credentials you use for UPS.com and the shipper account number is your UPS account number. The access license number is provided by UPS when you request an access key.

To request Access Key, go to UPS Developer Kit page, login under your UPS account and click Request an access key.
You wil be asked to fill in several questions and choose an account number that will be connected to this access key.

  • I need an access key because: "I was informed by a software vendor that I need an access key"
  • Software/Vendor name: "ShopCtrl"
  • Choose an account to associate with this access key: account you would like to connect to this integration
