Merchants who are registered with UPS and who also have UPS negotiated account-based rates can choose which rates they wish to display to customers: their negotiated rates, or the UPS published rates. Merchants who'd like to entice customers to order by offering lowering shipping costs may wish to display their negotiated rates in checkout, while merchants who prefer to generate revenue by keeping the shipping cost difference may still choose to display the higher UPS published rates.

Note: Not all merchants registered with UPS are eligible for negotiated rates. Only merchants with negotiated rates, whose UPS Rate Code is recognized by UPS as being eligible for negotiated rates, will be able to display negotiated rates in checkout and in the UPS Ship Tool. Contact your UPS account manager and provide your UPS Rate Code from the UPS Shipping Settings section of the Settings page. The UPS Rate Code is case-sensitive, and must be provided exactly as it is displayed on the Settings page. After your UPS Account Manager has activated your UPS Rate Code, you'll be able to set your preferences in the new Rates Used in Checkout and Rates Shown in the UPS Ship Tool fields.

Negotiated rates not shown in checkout
