UPS Developer Kit is a set of APIs used to communicate with UPS, to automate rate lookups, shipment and label creation, tracking, and more.
Squirrelcart has been certified by UPS via their UPS Ready program. For more information regarding our implementation of the UPS Developer Kit, see this URL: http://www.squirrelcart.com/ups_developer_kit.php
Squirrelcart supports Real Time Rates, Shipments, Returns, and Tracking via UPS.
During the registration process, you will have an opportunity to enter a UPS Shipper Number (your account number). While this is optional, it is recommend. To receive negotiated rates (rates specific to your account), you will need to authenticate your account. To do so, you will need a copy of a recent UPS invoice handy. If you do not yet have one, you can still register and authenticate your account at a later date using the Shipping > UPS Developer Kit > Authenticate Account menu option.
