UPS Shipping (Advanced) add-on for CS-Cart

Live UPS rates, labels, and tracking — domestic and worldwide, from CS-Cart

CartModules: UPS Shipping is a full UPS carrier add-on for CS-Cart: live shipping rates at checkout, create shipments, download labels, track packages, and cancel shipments — all without leaving your CS-Cart admin panel. It covers domestic shipping in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Poland, Germany, and other European countries, plus international and cross-border services, all through a secure connection to UPS.

Once set up, live UPS rates show up at checkout on their own, worked out from weight, dimensions, and the destination address — no manual price tables. Optional negotiated (contract) rates and an admin markup give you control over what customers pay. The add-on works standalone; paired with the CartModules: Advanced Shipping System foundation add-on you also get per-vendor credentials (Multi-Vendor editions only), multi-box shipment support, and centralized carrier status mapping across every installed carrier add-on.

Key Features

• Live UPS Rates — real rates shown at checkout
• 63 Services — covering domestic, cross-border, and international shipping
• Negotiated Rates — optionally show the contract rate tied to your UPS account
• Admin Markup — optional flat or percentage markup on top of the carrier rate
• Per-Vendor Accounts — vendors can use their own UPS login details
• On-Demand Tracking — pull the latest status whenever you need it
• Cancel In-Place — void a shipment without leaving CS-Cart
• Label Downloads — UPS labels as PDF or image, from the order page
• Multiple Boxes — multiple shipment boxes within one order (with the Advanced Shipping System)

Supported Services

63 UPS services in total, grouped by where the shipment ships from. A few examples:

Each service shows up as its own shipping method, so you can price them differently, assign them to different vendors, and use different login details.

How It Works

1. Install the add-on and enter your UPS Client ID, Client Secret, and Shipper Number
2. Create a shipping method in CS-Cart and pick the UPS service you want to offer
3. At checkout, customers see live UPS rates based on their address and cart contents
4. When an order is placed, the add-on books the shipment with UPS and saves the tracking number
5. Download the UPS label from the order page and attach it to your package
6. Click Update Tracking any time to pull the latest status, or Cancel Shipment to void it
