UPS certification – nShift

Before you can start creating shipments with UPS in nShift Delivery, you need to certify your customer number(s).

1. Create a UPS account

Create a UPS account following the steps in Getting Started with UPS APIs. When getting to the part where you add products you should activate all products. The generated details (customer number, user ID, password, client ID, client secret) should now be entered in nShift Delivery.

Go to Maintenance > Senders.
Click Search to find the sender you will use to create UPS shipments.
Click the Edit icon next to the sender.

Click the Add carrier button.

Click Save.

Reach out to your contact person at UPS.
- Ask them for the booking numbers.
- Provide them with the UPS customer number, user ID and password for the account you created at ups.com.
Send the booking numbers to nShift support.
nShift support will add them as number ranges in your Delivery account and will contact you when it's done.
