Configure UPS shipping for Magento
Has anyone successfully configured the ship UPS under sales/orders/ship. We are trying to pass the Certification process for UPS which you have to create 5 shipments one of which produces a High Value Report?
Void any four of the UPS-defined “VOID” cases.
If you are producing GIF images, please e-mail the following 39 files along with your UPS User ID and Access key to [email protected]:
- The requests and responses of the ShipConfirm and ShipAccept XML documents from all five shipments (20 files).
- The resulting GIF images of the label from all five shipments (5 files).
- The resulting images of the High Value Report for at least one shipment (1 file).
- The HTML pages containing the scaling information for the label from all five shipments (5 files).
- The requests and responses of all the Void XML documents (8 files).
If you are printing labels via a Thermal Printer, the labels must be sent to UPS. Please send an email with your pickup address to [email protected] requesting a label via a provided label from the UPS Developer APIs support group. Include a High Value Report for at least one shipment with the thermal labels. Email the following 28 files along with your UPS User ID and Access Key to [email protected]:
- The requests and responses of the ShipConfirm and ShipAccept XML documents from all five shipments (20 files).
- The requests and responses of all the Void XML documents (8 files).
UPS will contact you via email within 2 business days to inform you of your approval status. Once granted, point your software to the following Production URL’s,
https:// pre-seeds the following links
onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/ShipConfirm
onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/ShipAccept
onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Void
onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/LabelRecovery
This obviously is not very user friendly, but UPS says they have to have this in order to proceed. Can anyone please help?
Answer
It sounds like you are trying to generate shipping labels via the UPS shipping module in Magneto. You should know the UPS shipping module that comes with Magento only does shipping rate quotes. It does not allow the creation of labels.
If you do somehow have an extension that allows you to create labels, you are going to have to create the orders that fit the scenarios that UPS is looking for so you can get approved to create usable labels (get rid of the word SAMPLE across the barcode).
Alternatively (and UPS probably would disagree with me on this), you can just use the libraries to generate the labels that will fulfill UPS's requirements. Just know that by doing that you are circumventing the reason why they want you to do the testing in the first place.
