U-PIC Insurance

Contents of this Topic: ShowHide

Overview

U-PIC is discounted package insurance for shipments sent by major carriers such as UPS, U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, etc.
The package is delivered by the shipping carrier but it is insured by U-PIC, saving the merchant hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars every year. For information, please go to www.U-PIC.com.

Set system parameter UPICClientID with the client ID value provided by U-PIC. No other setup is required. Refer to Knowledge Base topic, Set System Parameters for instructions.
Once this parameter contains a value, a U-PIC link in the Shipping Functions tab of the Stone Edge Settings screen. It may also be added to the Quick Clicks which are accessed at the Main Menu.
Click this function once per month to send a report to U-PIC with information about the previous month's shipments.
U-PIC fees are based on the Declared Value of the shipment. If a shipment has no declared value, the shipment information will not be sent to U-PIC.
If you have previously elected to use the insurance provided by an integrated shipping carrier, you must reverse those settings or you will be double-billed for insurance.
- for Endicia DAZzle, set system parameter DAZzleDefaultInsurance=UPIC
- for UPS Online Tools, go to the UPS Default Settings page (fifth page of wizard) and clear the check mark from Default Insure Shipment
