Integrating your XPS Ship account with Zen Cart allows your customers’ orders to be directly transferred from Zen Cart to XPS Ship, providing quick and easy shipping. The steps below will guide you through the process of integrating your XPS Ship account with Zen Cart.
Note: Installing the plug-in file to your Zen Cart root folder is beyond the XPS scope of support. We recommend you contact your store developer or Zen Cart Support if you need assistance with the plug-in installation process, as the process can differ based on the unique Apache server configuration.
