Does the real-time UPS shipping calculator distinguish between a business address and a residential address when the shipping toal is calculated? Residential addresses incur additional surcharges from the shipper.

Not currently but we have this as a sponsored project in programming now and it should be released in about a week.

I'd be interested in an update on this as well. My client asked me for it this morning.

This feature has been released and is available in v3.99 now. In the buynow settings there is a new setting titled "Address Type" that will control this. The shipping costs returned from the real time shipping calculator are different based on the “ship to” address being residential or commercial. The “Address Type” setting allows you to configure Automatic, Residential or Commercial when communicating with the real time shipping calculator API to provide a more exact shipping cost. The following "Address Type" option are available:

  • Auto - Shipping Calculator API determines address type (Residentual/Commercial) automatically.
  • Residential - Sends residential flag to shipping calculator and calculates rates based on “ship to” residential address.
  • Commercial - Sends commercial flag to shipping calculator and calculates rates based on “ship to” commercial address.
