Client Onboarding Guide for UPS (EU/US)
Sorted are an approved UPS Ready provider. This means that we can provide our customers with the ability to ship products with UPS using SortedPRO without the need for any separate customer certification process.
This page explains how to configure UPS Ready functionality within PRO.
Configuring UPS Ready
In order to use UPS Ready functionality within PRO, you will need to register your UPS account number. This step must be completed by Sorted customers as part of the onboarding process, as each customer must accept the terms and conditions of the UPS Technology Agreement (UTA).
To register a new UPS account Number within PRO:
- Open the PRO v1 UI (Production or Sandbox) and log in. Select Settings to display the Settings page.
- Click Manage on the Carrier Services panel to display the Carrier Services page.
- Click Add Carrier Service to display the Select Carrier Service page.
- Click Register on the UPS panel to display the UTA.
- Read the agreement and then click I Agree to display the Contact Information page.
- Add a Contact Title and Website URL and click the Save button to display the Add Account page
- Add account and invoice details as necessary then click Add to complete the setup process.
Updating Your UPS Details
To update your UPS account or invoice details:
- Return to the Select Carrier Service page (Settings > Manage Carrier Services > Add Carrier Service) and click Manage on the UPS panel to display the Add Account page.
- Make the required changes and then click the Add button to save.
Configuring US Domestic EDI Tracking
US Domestic Services use an EDI tracking solution (as apposed to API). Therefore, you will need to take some additional steps in order to accept the UPS Technology Agreement (UTA) .
The quickest way to onboard UPS EDI services is to sign up for the UPS EDI Click Wrap process. To do so:
Contact your local UPS Account Manager, who should submit a request for the process via UPS.com. UPS will respond by sending you an email link.
Click the link, log into UPS.com, and approve the UTA by clicking the relevant check box.
Alternatively, you can approve the UTA via EDI questionnaire. This is a manual process involving UPS's legal teams, and will take much longer than the EDI Click Wrap process.
Once you have approve the UTA, UPS will set up a tracking account via Open Text, their 3rd party provider, and share the relevant SFTP tracking credentials with us.
