Start using your UPS rates
Now that you have your UPS account connected, you will need to do the following to begin using your live UPS rates for shipping quotes:
Create shipping zones - Shipping zones allow you to have different service levels, rules, and shipping rates for different countries or groups of countries.
Enable UPS service levels - Enabling service levels in the zones that you want to use them in allows you to offer different service levels to different zones.
Test your shipping - Test your shipping to make sure everything is working properly and being displayed as intended before being used in production or going live on your website.
Warning
You must have item weights set for each item in your shopping cart platform in order to get accurate shipping quotes. If you have items or boxes larger than 11” on any side, your items may need to be calculated with dimensional weight to get accurate quotes.
If you have a UPS Campus Ship account, you will need to do the following in order to use the new UPS OAuth 2.0 registration. If you run into any issues with this process, please reach out to your UPS account executive.
You will need to use a different email address from the email that was previously used with your UPS Campus Ship account.
Once account is created and you are signed in, select Accounts and Payment.
From the Add a Payment Method dropdown, select Add Existing Account and it will request that you add your UPS Account Number, nickname, and postal code.
You will need either Invoice Data or a PIN to verify your account. This should have been sent to the original email address used at account creation.
Once UPS successfully validates your Invoice Data or PIN, the registration process on UPS.com is now complete.

Enable negotiated rates for your new user ID
In order to ensure that negotiated rates are displayed to your customers, you need to ensure that your new user ID has permission to view the negotiated rates.
Reach out to your UPS account executive to have them turn on negotiated rates for your user ID.
Once this is confirmed, you will then be able to follow the steps outlined at the top of this document to complete the registration process with Zonos.
