Beginning June 3, 2024, access keys will no longer be supported for authentication to any UPS APIs. UPS has deprecated access key authentication in favor of an OAuth 2.0 security model. You can read more about this update on the UPS website.

To comply with this new standard, you’ll need to enter the Bold callback URL in your UPS account in order to connect your custom rates in Bold Checkout.

Alert: This article is for those who are connecting their UPS account for the first time. If you have already have an existing UPS custom-carrier account connected in Bold Checkout, you must migrate to the new UPS version instead. For step-by-step instructions, please visit our UPS V2 Migration Guide.
