Setting Up UPS Worldship

UPS Worldship is a program provided by UPS to allow its account holders to print carrier labels on their own printer.   You must have a UPS shipper account and be set up for scheduled pickup to be able to use UPS Worldship.   You can learn more on the UPS site.  Look for "Open a UPS Account" under the "Shipping" tab at www.ups.com.

Once you have downloaded and installed UPS Worldship, as instructed by UPS, there are a few things that must be set up to make it work with SixBit.  First, you must turn on automatic XML Imports from Worldship.   This will allow SixBit to communicate and send postage requests to Worldship.  Next, because of a bug in Worldship, you must perform a quick task so that SixBit can retrieve shipping costs from Worldship.  Finally, you must tell SixBit that you want to use UPS Worldship to print carrier labels.
