Setting up a UPS Billing Account is essential for businesses seeking streamlined shipping and billing processes. Here’s our comprehensive guide to help you add and configure your UPS Billing Account:

 

What is the UPS Billing Center?

The UPS Billing Center is a one-stop shop for billing, allowing shippers to view invoices, manage payment methods and pay bills all in one place.

 

Setting up a UPS Billing Account

Step 1: Log In to Your UPS Account

Visit UPS.com and log in with your credentials. If you don’t have an account, click “Sign Up” to create one.

Step 2: Access the Billing and Payment Page

After logging in, click on your name in the top-right corner to open the dropdown menu. Select “View & Pay Bill” to navigate to the Billing and Payment page. 

Step 3: Enroll in the UPS BIlling Center

On the Billing and Payment page, click on “UPS Billing Center” located under the Tools and Resources menu.

Then, you’ll be directed to the Enrollment page. 

Step 4: Enter Your UPS Account Number

Locate your UPS account number on your most recent UPS invoice. Enter this number on the Enrollment page. If you have multiple account numbers, you’ll need to enroll each separately. 

Step 5: Authenticate Your Account

Provide the necessary details from your recent invoice, such as Invoice Number, Amount Due, Invoice Date, and Control ID. This information is crucial for verifying your account!

Step 6: Complete the Enrollment

After successful authentication, you’ll receive a confirmation message which means your account is now officially enrolled in the UPS Billing Center.

 

Additional Tips + Tricks

  • Managing Multiple Accounts: You can add and manage multiple UPS accounts within the Billing Center for consolidated billing.​
  • Payment Options: The Billing Center allows you to set up one-time or automatic payments, providing flexibility in managing your shipping expenses.​
  • Checking Charges: If you notice discrepancies or wish to dispute charges, the Billing Center offers tools to initiate and track disputes.
