Overview

UPS can be integrated as a source within Flxpoint to automatically import shipping and tracking data. By connecting UPS, you can streamline the process of managing shipments, ensuring that tracking information is synced with your orders in real-time. This integration supports automatic updates of shipment status, tracking numbers, and delivery confirmations, helping you efficiently manage logistics and improve order fulfillment accuracy. 
 

How to Connect

To connect to UPS, you need to follow these key steps:

• Access the 'Sources' Section: Navigate to the 'Sources' section by clicking on the building icon on the left side of the dashboard. 
   
• Add a New Source: Click on the plus button to add a new source. You can choose any primary source for most operations and configure it accordingly. 
   
• Add UPS for 'Get Shipments' Only: After configuring the primary source, head to the Integrations section. In the 'Get Shipments' section, choose UPS to handle your shipment tracking operations. 
   
• Set Up UPS API Credentials: To connect UPS for shipment tracking, enter the Client ID and Client Secret that you generated from the UPS Developer Portal. UPS Developer Portal will allow you to create an application, from which you will receive the necessary credentials. 
   
• OAuth 2.0 Setup for UPS: You’ll need to authenticate UPS with OAuth 2.0. This process involves generating an authorization code and exchanging it for a token. Once authenticated, the refresh token will be saved automatically in the system for ongoing updates. 
   
• Test and Validate: After entering all the necessary details, test the setup by importing shipment data from UPS.  Make sure that only the shipment data is pulled from UPS, while all other operations like inventory management are handled by the primary source.
