Shopify UPS App or UPS API

[Chimevault]

Hi there,

Just getting setup with UPS,

Any recommend the app or should we go with UPS API?

Thanks!

Hey there!

Looking to get UPS up and running? I’d kick things off with a handy app like Plugin Hive's UPS Shipping & Label Printing or Shippo. You will get real-time rates at checkout, the ability to buy and print labels right in Shopify, plus tracking emails all set up in minutes with zero coding.

If you’ve got a dev team on standby and crave total control, diving into the UPS API can be rewarding but it does mean more build and maintenance work.

My two cents? Roll out with an app today so you can start shipping ASAP, then explore a custom API down the road if you need extra flexibility.

Happy shipping!
