How to connect UPS with easySales: a complete setup guide

Connect UPS to easySales: Login with UPS, the account number and service, the sender details, pickups, creating labels and reauthenticating when the sign-in lapses.

What connecting UPS gives you

With UPS connected, easySales creates UPS shipments for your orders: it sends the sender and the recipient to UPS, receives the label as a PDF, puts the AWB on the order and follows the parcel's delivery status from UPS tracking.

Three things to know before you begin:

  • There is no API key to copy. You connect by signing in to UPS from easySales with Login with UPS. The access keys from the UPS developer kit are not used any more.
  • Connecting takes two trips. After you sign in, UPS sends you back to Couriers. Open the UPS connection again, then fill in your account number, the service and the sender details, and save.
  • One connection uses one UPS service. Every label from a connection goes out with its Service. For a second service, add a second connection.

Step 1 — Sign in to UPS from easySales

Step 3 — Sender details

The sender details: Country Romania, County Cluj, City name Cluj-Napoca, Address, Postal code, Contact phone, Contact email, Contact company name Demo Shop SRL and Contact name Andrei Popescu.
Where UPS collects the parcels.

Fill in Country, County, City name, Address, Postal code, Contact phone, Contact email, Contact company name and Contact name of the address UPS collects from.

Step 4 — Pickup, printing and advanced options

Auto call courier No, the printing settings with Paper size and Scale type, and the advanced options with the number of packages and Send customs clearance.
Pickup, printing and advanced options.
  • Auto call courier: Yes books a UPS pickup for every new label, on the next working day, between Start time interval and End time interval. Leave it on No if UPS collects from you on a schedule.
  • Show printing settings: the paper size and scale of the label, when you print through the easySales Printer connection.
  • Generate packages based on the number of packages of the product: one parcel per package of each product, for products packed in several boxes.

Press Save.

For a second service or pickup address, choose Connect another courier account in the card's ⋮ menu, or open the connection and press Clone.

Creating labels

  • Quick create: in the orders list, choose Quick Create → UPS in the AWB column. The label is created with the connection's Service and the order's weight — 1 kg when the products have none.
  • From the order: in the order's Awbs section, press Create AWB and choose UPS. You can change the recipient, set several parcels or envelopes, and write the observations.

For an order paid on delivery, the order total is sent to UPS as cash on delivery. The label arrives as a PDF on the order, and easySales updates the order's delivery status from UPS. Deleting the AWB on the order cancels the shipment at UPS.

When UPS refuses a label

The reason is shown on the order:

Message What to do
