ShipAccel Release Notes version 1.114.0 (October 1, 2025)
Products affected: ShipAccel
What's New
New UPS requirement for Recipient Billing
As part of UPS carrier compliance, a new requirement has been introduced for billing shipping costs, duties, and taxes to the recipient. If a Carrier Account Number is entered during shipment creation, users must also provide the recipient’s Payer Postal Code. This change ensures proper billing and aligns with UPS’s updated policies.
To support this, a Payer Postal Code input field has been added to the Shipping Label workflow. When shipping costs are billed to the recipient, the Carrier Account Number becomes mandatory, and so does the Payer Postal Code. For duties and taxes billed to the recipient, the Carrier Account Number is optional. However, if it is entered, the Payer Postal Code field will appear and must be filled in. If no Carrier Account Number is provided, the field will not appear.
New Order Filtering and Batch Creation Features
You can now filter orders by item properties such as color, size, hand orientation, condition, or pattern. Just enter the property labels and values to search and group orders more easily.
Additionally, you can create batches for specific picking stations, such as by SKU, brand, or product variant, without needing to print packing slips. This enables faster and more flexible order management.
Reopen Manually Fulfilled Orders
Users can now change manually fulfilled orders back to an unfulfilled status using the Void Label or Update Status options. This works for both individual and bulk orders, helping maintain consistency and flexibility in order management.
Latest Updates
UPS SurePost® replaced with UPS Ground Saver
UPS SurePost® has been replaced by a new service called UPS Ground Saver, designed specifically for domestic, low-priority shipments. This cost-effective option is ideal for packages under 10 lbs and offers delivery speeds similar to UPS Ground, with an additional 1–2 days.
UPS Ground Saver comes in two weight-based categories:
- Less than 1 lb
- 1 lb or greater
All packages are delivered by UPS and include free declared value coverage up to $20. Additionally, real-time photo confirmation is provided as proof of delivery.
Improved Auto-Refill Experience for USPS Postage
We’ve improved the Auto-Refill process to make it easier and more automatic. When your USPS postage balance drops below your set minimum, it will refill with your chosen amount, as long as your credit card or GFS account has sufficient funds.
You can choose to be notified before each refill by checking the box labeled Prompt me before auto postage refill is set to occur in your Shipping & Mailing Settings. If checked, you’ll get a pop-up to confirm, modify, or skip the refill. If unchecked, the refill happens automatically.
If your payment method doesn’t have enough funds or your credit card has expired, you’ll see an error message. These updates apply to all USPS shipments.
Improved Error Handling for Offline Printers
We've added smarter error handling when DeviceHub or selected printers are offline. Instead of failing silently or confusing users, the system now shows a clear warning and automatically switches to Print to PDF.
This means users can still generate and use shipping labels even if their printer isn’t available, helping avoid delays and preventing orders from being marked as fulfilled without a printed label.
