Summary: Shipstore authorizes your UPS account through UPS.com so it can use the UPS API. It does not use UPS WorldShip. Logging in at UPS.com only authorizes the account; the shipping itself runs through the UPS API.

Answer

  1. When you add or re-register your UPS account in Shipstore, authorize it by logging in at UPS.com. This gives Shipstore API access to the account.
  2. After that, shipping runs through the UPS API, which is separate from both UPS.com and UPS WorldShip.
  3. You do not need UPS WorldShip. It is UPS's separate desktop shipping program and is not part of the Shipstore UPS connection.

What you should see

After the UPS.com authorization, your UPS account rates and ships in Shipstore with no WorldShip setup.
