You can ship your products to your customers using UPS as a shipping method/API. UPS is one of the most popular shipping methods and is known world-wide. In order to set up your shop using UPS you will need to follow the instructions below.

Sign Up for a UPS Account

Go through the whole process of registering and logging-in and so on (follow the steps seen the in the above screenshot). Please note that step 3 and 4 can be ignored. The “Ratings” API has already been installed into the plugin. After login, you can skip to step 5 which is “Request an access key“. Click the link, you’ll be redirected to a page where it shows your primary account info, allows you to submit secondary info, and if you haven’t registered yet, has links for you to register.
