Setting up your Ecommerce Plus template to automatically
use the UPS Online® Tools Rates & Service Selection to
automatically calculate your shipping costs is a simple
matter. Just follow the steps below.Firstly, log in
to the admin section for your Ecommerce Plus template
and click on "main settings" using the menu on the left.
From the Shipping Type dropdown menu select UPS
Shipping.
On the same page you will see a setting "Shipping
Units" where you can define the weight units that are
used to define your product weights. Please note that
the shipping units are limited in some countries.
Notably, the United States is limited to specifying
product weights in lbs and ounces.
Now, go back to the admin home page by clicking on
"home" on the left menu. Click on the text link near the
bottom of the page which says "Register with UPS" and
follow the steps in the registration wizard.
You are now ready to test your system. Try adding a
product to your cart where you know the weight of the
product. Then in the checkout phase after filling out
your customer and shipping information, you should see
the available UPS shipping options along with the
associated costs. You should do a couple of tests to
make sure they match what you would expect from the UPS
online shipping calculator at
www.ups.com.

Ecommerce Plus admin section, "main settings" page to
change the Shipping units you are using from lbs and
