If you have a UPS Shipping Account, you can generate and print a
UPS label from inside your 123 eCart Admin Panel.
While we have endeavored to make our software as friendly as possible, you will need 4 items of information from UPS in order to use the UPS Label Maker:
A UPS User ID
A UPS Password
A UPS Account Number
A UPS XML Key which has been enabled for UPS
The first three items (username, password and account number) will be provided to you by UPS when you sign up for a shippers account.
The last item - the UPS XML Key - is also provided to you by UPS, but the process is not explained very well on the UPS website. For your convenience, we have documented the required steps HERE.
Once you have the required UPS account number, password, xml key, etc. - you may use the UPS Label Maker.
To use the label maker, simply view your Completed Orders in the Manage Menu, select an order you wish to ship, and click on the UPS icon next to that order.
The first screen will ask you for the previously mentioned items, your shipping address, etc. 123 eCart will remember all of this information next time you use the Label Maker, so you only need fill it in this time. Enter your package dimensions, insured value, weight, and go to the next screen.
The second screen will show you the submitted data, and give you any error messages returned from UPS.
If there are no errors, and the data is correct, Go to the next screen.
You should now see a printable UPS Label.
To print the label, right click on the label, and print.
