UPS Questions

[jw2]

When will the ability to print UPS shipping labels be implemented?
Does the dataport 7.0.3 support exporting to UPS World Ship?

Thanks

You don't need Dataport to export to WorldShip. It can all be set up in WorldShip to get the shipping info from your database.

This is currently and historically true for many hosting configurations. But it probably will not remain true for much longer. PCI DSS 1.3 prohibits direct routes between the internet (merchant running UPS WorldShip) and the cardholder data environment (SQL Server).

This will not apply if...

- If you do not store cardholder data in your database (for example, if you use Google Checkout exclusively), then SQL Server is not a "cardholder data environment".

- If you replicate the non-cardholder shipping data to a physically separate SQL Server in the DMZ and connect to that.

- If your UPS WorldShip is running *in* the cardholder data environment.

Assumming you want to be PCI certified at some point, you may want to consider the alternatives.

Shipper is compliant because the Shipping Agent runs in the application environment and only sends non-cardholder data to the desktop.
