How do I customize the shipping rates returned by the UPS online services in OrderCentral?


In OrderCentral there are a couple of  web.config fields that can be used to alter the price returned by the UPS web services.

  • If you know your discount %, we can simply reverse this to get retail:
      In the orderCentral web.config file
    :
      <!--Def:CustomUPSAppliedDiscountRate: if set, then the system will reverse what ever discount rate is applied, to get back to retail.
      <!--ex: to reverse a 40% discount put in .40 in the key below-->
      <add key="CustomUPSAppliedDiscountRate" value=".40" />
  •  You can also perform another step/alteration if you needed:
      In the orderCentral web.config file:
      <!--Def:CustomUPSDiscountRate: if set, then the system will reverse what ever discount rate is applied, to get back to retail.
      <!--ex: to add a 10% discount put in .10 in the key below-->
      <add key="CustomUPSDiscountRate" value=".10" />
      
     Note: CustomUPSAppliedDiscountRate is applied first but is optional.
     CustomUPSDiscountRate is applied AFTER the rate calculated using CustomUPSAppliedDiscountRate.  If CustomUPSAppliedDiscountRate is not set, then it is applied to the rate returned by UPS.
