Integrated UPS Access Point™ for Drop-Offs
PostalMate version 12.9.1 includes integration to UPS Access Point™ for drop-offs! This means that once set up, you can scan your UPS drop-offs into PostalMate directly, and will no longer need to do the second scan into UPS Access Point.
Setup in PostalMate (Main station only)
Choose Tools > PostalMate Settings.
Select Drop-Off Settings on the left pane, and choose the Carrier-specific settings tab.
Next to Service, select UPS from the drop-down menu.
If entered, make note of your Access Point ID.
Check the box for Enable integrated UPS Access Point™, the screen will now change and include a new option to enter your Access Point ID.
Enter your 9-digit UPS Access Point ID (without the ending 01 from the previous screen).
Click Save.
Scanning drop-offs for UPS
Scan UPS drop-offs into PostalMate the same way as you have always done. The big difference is that you will no longer be prompted to scan a second time into UPS Access Point™ unless an error is returned from their server
It is advisable to keep a shortcut to UPS Access Point in your browser or on your computer in case of an outage: https://ap.ups.com/REAP/
Use UPS Access Point notifications (optional)
With Access Point notifications enabled (see above) your drop-off customer will receive and email from customer-notification@ups.com (UPS Technology Administration) when the drop-off is recorded, and another email notification when you perform your daily carrier pickup. Simply select (or add) a customer and include an email address.
