If I enable free shipping in my eCommerce system, it doesn't work for UPS. You have to pay to use this carrier. How do I set up free shipping from a certain amount?

There is an option in the plugin where you can set a Flat rate as Free shipping. You can then set a certain value (for example 35) as the order value threshold and the delivery rates as 0. In this example, if your checkout cart has an order value of 40 then it will display as 0 as the shipping rate.

I use my own boxes to ship my products. Can I set up the UPS plugin in such a way that it considers my boxes while calculating the shipping cost and printing shipping labels?

Yes, you can use your own boxes to ship products. To learn how to set this up, please visit the installation guide here: https://ecommerce.help/service/shipping/ups-plugins/
