Managing UPS Shipping

Step 1: Installation

First things first, access the admin area of your website. Navigate to the "App Shop" or "Store" tabs and search for the UPS Shipping module (version 1.0.0).

Install the module and follow any on-screen prompts to complete the installation process. During installation, you can choose to apply the UPS Shipping module to specific sales channels or all channels at once.

Step 2: Accessing Module Settings

Once the module is installed, a success page will confirm its integration. To proceed, click on the "Check settings for the required platform" link.

Alternatively, you can find the module under the Modules, Shipping, and Online tabs. Locate the

Step 3: Customizing Restrictions

Tailor UPS Shipping to meet your specific needs by customizing restrictions. You can restrict UPS shipping to specific customer groups, countries, and website pages. Specify the shipping module name for both the backend and frontend in your desired language, and enable tracking to provide better shipment visibility to your customers.
