Set Up UPS Paperless Invoice (EDI)

Overview

AfterShip Shipping helps you send UPS Paperless Invoice (UPS Electronic Data Interchange or EDI), eliminating the need to print invoices for international shipments. Please note that paperless trade is only supported in select countries, and UPS regularly updates the list of eligible locations.

In order to enable Paperless Invoice function, you need to login to your UPS account to enable this feature.
