UPS has announced that the company is offering free plug-ins to make UPS tools and services seamlessly available within four popular e-commerce platforms; WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart, and Magento. Headquartered in Atlanta, US, UPS is a global leader in logistics, offering a broad range of solutions including transporting packages and freight.

The offering is part of the recently announced UPS Digital Access Programme, which natively integrates UPS’s services into popular e-commerce platforms and provides highly competitive shipping rates to users. By offering these plug-ins, UPS helps merchants quickly and easily open a UPS account and manage multiple aspects of shipping and fulfilment inside their existing e-commerce platform.

The UPS e-commerce software plug-ins allow merchants with UPS accounts to access their negotiated rates and easily integrate a wide range of UPS delivery services into their favourite platform. Additionally, SMBs can open a UPS account within the plug-ins and get access to discounts of up to 55 per cent off Daily rates, according to UPS.

Plug-ins featured of the software includes label printing within the e-commerce platforms, including for multi-order batches; full control over shipping rates displayed to e-shoppers; presentation of accurate, scheduled delivery times to e-shoppers during checkout; and access to real-time tracking information.

“As the retail industry rapidly transforms, UPS continues to find new ways to make its industry-leading services more accessible. With UPS’s Digital Access Programme, we’re levelling the e-commerce playing field for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) worldwide, allowing them to offer many of the same services offered by the world’s largest brands,” Kevin Warren, UPS chief marketing officer said.
