Secure Your Shipments: What UPS’s OAuth 2.0 Compliance Means for Your Business

A Critical Update

In the ever-evolving world of logistics and shipping technology, staying ahead of technological advancements is not just an option—it’s a necessity. At WM Synergy, we’re committed to ensuring our systems and services remain at the forefront of industry standards, which is why we are proactively addressing the upcoming transition of UPS APIs to OAuth 2.0 compliance.

Understanding the Transition

United Parcel Service (UPS) has announced a significant update to its API technology. By June 3, 2024, all UPS APIs will require OAuth 2.0 compliance to maintain connectivity. This change is set to enhance the security and efficiency of API interactions, ensuring safer data handling and smoother operations for all users.

The Risks of Staying Behind

The shift to OAuth 2.0 compliance is an essential upgrade that impacts numerous aspects of shipping operations. Functions like rate fetching, shipment creation, and tracking will be affected if not updated. Notably, some TMS providers have opted out of upgrading their systems to meet these new standards, potentially leaving their clients disconnected from these critical UPS services.

In partnership with RateLinx, a leader in shipping technology solutions, we are prepared to offer an advanced, compliant service that ensures uninterrupted access to all UPS functionalities.
