Hi,
We are really struggling with the lack of documentation for setting up UPS. Has anyone set up UPS and are you willing to help walk us through what each one is and where we can find the information needed.
We have been trying the trial and error method and seem to be missing the mark.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

I'm assuming you have already set up a developer account with UPS and have the documentation. If not, you'll need to visit https://www.ups.com/upsdeveloperkit/downloadresource?loc=en_US and sign up.
FriendlyName - is the name shown for the Gateway
CurrencyConversion - is unused - I would leave it at 1
Currency - should always be USD
AccessKey - is assigned to you by UPS when you sign up
Commercial - if set to true you get commercial rates; false you get residential rates. I would set to false unless you are strictly a B2B shop
MoreInfoURL - just points you to API information
PackageType - is the UPS code for the type of packaging you are going to use. Set to 02 or check UPS documentation for other valid values
Password - is from your developer account with UPS
PickupType - is the UPS code for the type of pickup you are going to use. Set to 01 or check UPS documentation for other valid values
ShopCountryCode - is the CountryCode where your store is shipping from ie US
ShopPostalCode - is the PostalCode where your store is shipping from
ShopRegionCodeCode - is unused
ShowDeliveryDays - is unused
UnitOfMeasurement - is the unit of measurement you are using for weights in your store. Should be lbs or kgs
URL - is the URL that the rate request will be posted to. Should be https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate
UserId - is assigned to you by UPS when you sign up
Status - should be ON. I didn't find TEST or FAKE to work
Quick tip... After you set up the Gateway under Configuration -> Payment and Shipping Gateways and have it turned on, you need to go and set up a ship method under Regional Setup -> Shipping. I originally thought turning the gateway on would cause it to show up, but it doesn't. You have to Create a Shipping Method, I called mine UPS. Then add a Zone. Then in rates for the Zone, type the name of your Shipping Gateway.
