Check access data for UPS

For your UPS configuration you need the following data:

  • Username/password

  • UPS Account-Nummer

  • (UPS Billing Account Number)

Username and password are the access data for your "My UPS" account. You will receive your account number from UPS upon contract conclusion. The billing account number only needs to be entered if the UPS account number of the invoice recipient is different from the account number of the shipper.

šŸ“Œ Please note that you cannot use UPS Campusship or Worldship Accounts in connection with Shipcloud.

Store access data for UPS in the Shipcloud account

You can easily store your UPS contract data in your Shipcloud account and thus ship at your individually agreed rates and conditions with the carrier.

Based on the time of your registration at Shipcloud, we provide you below with further information on how to store your UPS access data in the Shipcloud webUI.



Registration from August 2, 2022

How to store your contract data for UPS

Log in to your Shipcloud account resp. to the Shipcloud webUI and select the menu item "Carriers" in the navigation bar on the left.

Under "Active carriers", click on the blue contract icon on the left next to UPS to store the access data from your UPS account in your Shipcloud configuration and, if necessary, to make further settings.



Click on the green "Save & activate" button on the right so that your changes are applied and your own business rates are applied when you are creating your shipping labels.

šŸ“Œ Please note that previously saved data will be overwritten and you will ship using your own business rates after successful activation. The Shipcloud shipping business rates for UPS will then no longer be available to you.

Registration before August 2, 2022

How to store your contract data for UPS

If you have registered with Shipcloud before August 2, 2022, please contact our support team first and we will activate your own configuration for UPS.

After activation, you will receive a confirmation email from us and you will then find your configuration in your Shipcloud account under "Configurations" >> "Carriers" >> "UPS". Deposit and save your access data for UPS there.

šŸ“Œ Please note that once you have activated your own UPS configuration, you no longer have access to the Shipcloud business rates for UPS.



UPS shipping with own contract in connection with Shipcloud

Shipping conditions and billing

After successful configuration, you automatically ship at your own UPS business rates. Your individual agreements will then apply with regard to, among other things:

  • transport insurance

  • the (regular) collection / drop-off at UPS Access Points,

  • worldwide / international shipping, also outside the EU.

šŸ“Œ Please note that you will then no longer have access to the Shipcloud business rates for UPS and Shipcloud will then no longer be able to show you any prices (for UPS), as our system does not have access to this part of your contract. You can view your shipping conditions in your UPS account or request them from your account manager.

You will be billed directly by UPS for your shipping labels. You will only receive a monthly invoice from Shipcloud for the use of our service (basic and transaction fees) and for the shipping labels created at Shipcloud business rates with other carriers.
