UPS Worldship integration with BC

eric_413 Nov 5, 2012 8:30 AM

Hey Everyone,

I need some help integrating UPS Worldship with a Business Catalyst site. I have no experience working with the BC API or any other for that matter.

Is this something that BC makes easy enough that I could do it following a tutorial or am I best to get someone else to do it for me?

If I need to hire it out, where should I start that search and how much should I expect to pay?

Hi,

Unfortunately, at this stage it is not possible connecting UPS Worldship into BC.

The only option is to use integrated shipping that we current have with UPS.

You can set it up following the steps of this document: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/833/cpsid_83320.html#main_Setting_up_Integrated_Shipping_ options

Kind regards,
-Sidney

How about going the other way?

Is there a way to export the shipping information from an order placed on a BC site in a way that can be imported by UPS Worldship & stamps.com? I'm not sure if "export" is the right word here.

Doing this would eliminate the need to manually type in the name, address, email, order number, etc. into the two programs.

We have had this done in the past with Wordship and a previous eCommerce provider. I would assume that BC's API can send this information but don't know where to start.

Any help would be amazing!

I think so, but we haven't implemented it yet.

We came across ShipWorks and think it will do everything we need and more. Looking for a developer to help with the setup.

Here's a link with more info. http://www.interapptive.com/ups/

I am curious how this worked out. I am 98% sure I can write something that will import order information into Worldship, Ship Manager, and DAZzle/Endicia. But I don't want to reinvent the wheel if there is already something out there to do this.
