Konfigurieren Sie die UPS Live-Raten für Ihren Shop

This guide covers the steps to configure basic settings for UPS Live Rates in your store. It is intended for store administrators who need to set up and manage shipping rates using UPS services.

Zugriff auf die UPS Live-Raten-App

Log in to your store’s admin dashboard and navigate to the UPS Live Rates app. Open the app to access its settings panel.

Ensure you have the necessary permissions to access the app settings. If you cannot find the app, verify that it is installed and enabled in your store's admin panel.

Verbinden Sie Ihr UPS-Konto

Connect your UPS account to enable live rate calculations. Enter your UPS credentials, including your UPS account number, username, password, and UPS Access Key.

These credentials are necessary for the app to retrieve real-time shipping rates from UPS. Ensure that your UPS account is active and that you have the correct access key, which can be obtained from the UPS website.

Legen Sie Ihren Versandursprung fest

Specify your shipping origin address in the app settings. This address is used as the starting point for rate calculations.

Ensure that the shipping origin address is accurate and corresponds to the location from which your orders are dispatched. Incorrect origin information can lead to inaccurate rate calculations.

Konfigurieren Sie die Paket-Einstellungen

Define your default package dimensions and weight. UPS uses these values to estimate shipping costs.

If you use multiple box sizes, consider adding different package profiles or setting rules for specific products. This ensures that the shipping costs are accurately calculated based on the actual package used.

Wählen Sie die UPS-Dienste aus, die Sie anbieten möchten

Choose which UPS shipping services to display at checkout, such as UPS Ground or UPS Next Day Air.

You can enable or disable specific services based on your shipping strategy and customer needs. Consider factors like delivery speed and cost when selecting services to offer.

Legen Sie Bearbeitungsgebühren fest (optional)

Add a handling fee to UPS rates if desired. Configure a flat fee or a percentage markup.

Handling fees can help cover additional costs associated with processing orders. Decide whether to apply a flat fee or a percentage based on your business model and cost structure.

Passen Sie die Anzeigeoptionen für die Preise an

Decide how rates are displayed to customers. You can show the exact UPS service names or customize the labels.

Customizing labels can make the checkout experience more user-friendly. Consider using simple, clear names that customers can easily understand.

Testen Sie Ihre Konfiguration

Test the checkout process to ensure UPS rates appear correctly. Enter different shipping addresses and cart contents to verify rate updates.

Testing is crucial to ensure that the rates are calculated accurately and displayed as expected. Use a variety of scenarios to test the robustness of your configuration.

Änderungen speichern und anwenden

Once satisfied with your configuration, save your settings. The app will now display live UPS rates during checkout.

Ensure that all changes are saved properly to avoid losing your configuration. Regularly review and update your settings to reflect any changes in your shipping strategy or UPS services.
