With UPS One Balance, there is no need to open your own UPS account. Instead, you can start creating UPS labels as soon as you enter your billing details into ShipStation. Additionally, UPS One Balance offers discounted rates of up to 68% over the UPS retail rates.
UPS One Balance provides both domestic and international shipping services.
Connection Requirements:
-
Complete your One Balance account setup in ShipStation.
Label Requirements:
-
UPS requires a Ship From Company Name.
Other Requirements:
-
UPS uses dimensional weight (DIM) when calculating rates. Always include the dimensions of the shipment as well as weight so you are billed correctly when you create the label and can take advantage of discounted rates. Incorrect weight or dimensions may result in post-billing adjustments to your postage balance in ShipStation.
-
UPS may charge a fee to reroute or redirect a package.
Before you can create labels with a ShipStation One Balance™ carrier, you'll need to add your billing information. Once your billing information has been added, you can start creating labels and adding funds to your balance.

This billing method will apply funds to the balance used to purchase labels through ShipStation One Balance™. Charges to add funds to the balance will appear on your credit card reports with the description “STAMPS."
Enable Auto-Funding For a Seamless Experience
We recommend using auto-funding to ensure the balance never falls below a set threshold amount.
-
UPS One Balance does not support third-party billing.
-
You cannot void a UPS One Balance label once it has been scanned by UPS or if you do not use the label within 30 days. If you attempt to do so, ShipStation will give the error "The shipment was not voided."
-
UPS may charge a fee to reroute or redirect a package.
-
UPS One Balance does not currently provide free shipping supplies.
-
UPS End of Day forms (also known as PLD forms) are not available in ShipStation. As a Certified UPS Partner, ShipStation submits all shipment information electronically to UPS when labels are created, so no End of Day process or PLD form is necessary. If you require a manifest for record-keeping purposes, you can create a generic shipment manifest by going to Insights > Reports > Shipping Manifest and running the report for your UPS shipments.
-
Prohibited items, restrictions, and dangerous/hazardous goods:
UPS has set forth specific restrictions on goods shipped using UPS One Balance. It is the shipper's responsibility to ensure their shipments do not violate these UPS guidelines. Violation of these restrictions may result in your ShipStation account being banned from using UPS One Balance.
Review the Shipping Prohibitions & Restrictions section above for further details.
