Modules 505 shipping methods like UPS, USPS or DHL/Airborne.
To use the module, you need to have accounts with those shipping services for which you want to be able to get shipping labels. The account information is entered into X-Cart and is stored there permanently so the module can use it automatically. When you tell the module to generate a shipping label, the module uses your account information to contact the respective shipping service server or (in the case of UPS) to generate a CSV-formatted data file that can be imported into an external program that will contact the shipping label generating server of the shipping service provider company. The shipping service server processes the information received from X-Cart, generates the required shipping label and sends it back to the application that has submitted the request (X-Cart for USPS and DHL/Airborne; UPS WorldShip for
UPS). After that you can freely download the shipping label onto your computer and print it out.
Note: please remember that shipping labels can be generated only for real-time calculated shipping methods.

b) The account details need to be specified in your X-Cart:

§ UPS: Enable and configure X-Cart's UPS Online ® Tools module.
2. Enable Shipping Label Generator module (Administration menu->Modules).
After the module is enabled, a section titled Shipping Label Generator options will be added to
General settings/Modules options.
3. Adjust the module settings via General settings/Modules options->Shipping Label Generator options.
At present, you only need to adjust Shipping Label Generator options if you are going to generate shipping labels for USPS. Provide the following values:
§ U.S.P.S. UserID: User ID that you received from USPS as a result of completing USPS registration process (For instructions on completing USPS registration, read the help section available through the link 'USPS shipping labels help').
§ U.S.P.S. shipping label image type: Image type for your USPS shipping labels. Depending on your selection, the shipping labels generated by USPS Web Tools server will be either in TIF or PDF format.
§ U.S.P.S. sample mode: An option that sets the module to work either in test or live mode. If you need to generate sample USPS labels, set the drop-down box to Yes. If you need production quality labels, select No.
Click on Save.
