Automatic shipping options and prices 

With the Rhythm + UPS integration, it’s easier than ever to create predictable shipping experiences for both your staff and members. Once connected, you can offer accurate shipping options and prices at checkout, eliminating guesswork and ensuring precise charges.

For your staff, this integration removes the manual work from the shipping process. No more guessing about shipping costs or losing money on merchandise sales due to inaccurate fees.

Flexible setup options

At Rhythm, we know that no single solution fits every association’s needs. That’s why we create flexible setup options, allowing you to choose what makes the most sense for your shipping needs. 

• Default Shipping Address: Set a default address for automatic cost calculations, which can be overridden as needed.
• Shipping Zones: Define rules based on shipping destinations, apply price markups, and set specific shipping options available to purchasers.
• Streamlined Member Experience: Limit shipping options to create predictable, manageable workflows, preventing issues with last-minute or urgent shipping requests.

Shipping zones allow you to tailor shipping options based on member locations, setting different rules and criteria at the state, country, or postal code level. This ensures a more streamlined and predictable experience for your members and staff.

Seamless order processing and label creation 

When orders come in, your staff can process shipments by order, item, or in bulk, making it easy to manage stock levels and fulfill orders efficiently. Select your orders, and the integration takes care of the rest—creating shipments, generating labels, and providing tracking numbers.

By integrating UPS with Rhythm AMS, associations can transform shipping from a headache into a streamlined, efficient process. No more undercharging or overcharging, no more manual entry—just smooth, predictable shipping operations that allow you to focus on what truly matters: engaging and serving your members.
