The following enhancements were added to the software to improve the overall usability of the software. These options were also added to help you properly get your store ready to sell products online.

We have added information within the State Tax Manager to help you properly setup your tax rates for your state. A link has been added to the top of the State Tax Manager page which links to a new QuickGuide with more information.

Urchin 6 Removed

Urchin 6: On Demand Statistics is now Google Analytics. This free service is only available through Google and has been removed from the menu system of the Admin Panel to avoid confusion.

The MonsterCommerce Software comes free with Urchin 5 Web Statistics. To access your web statistics: log into the Admin Panel and go to Reports >> Site Statistics, from the "Administration Tasks" section.

UPS Registration Required

UPS Online Tools

UPS requires that all individual Merchants register for UPS. Registering with UPS will generate a UPS Key which will be stored on your site. Registration is FREE and can be done through the Admin Panel without leaving your site. You will not have to create an account with UPS or enter any information into your store.

Registration with UPS enables UPS OnLine® Tools, giving you and your customer's access to shipping rates based on your sites shipping specifications and the Time in Transit Tool.

To register with UPS: log in to your Admin Panel and go to Checkout >> Shipping >> UPS Online® Tools, from the Design Manager section. Click on the "Register UPS Online® Tools" button from the bottom of the page.

Note: If you are currently using UPS as a shipping option and you do not register these options will not be viewable on the storefront for your customers. You will be prompted to register when you click on the UPS tab within the Shipping Manager.
