Run ShipGear

Follow this procedure every time you want to open ShipGear and connect to your ERP system company. For UPS WorldShip® and FedEx Ship Manager®, you also need to connect to the shipping software. No additional steps are necessary for Endicia Professional -- you can just start shipping once ShipGear is running.

Important : For FedEx, please make sure that ShipGear is not running when you launch Ship Manager®.

UPS WorldShip®

1. Double-click the ShipGear Exchange shortcut on your desktop.
   
   You can also select ShipGear Client > Exchange from the Windows Program menu.
   
   
   
   
   The ShipGear icon (with a red dot in the center) displays in your system tray as ShipGear initializes.
   
   
   
   
   
   When ShipGear successfully connects to your company, the red dot in the center of the icon is now green. This means ShipGear is running and ready for you to ship.
   
   
   
   
   
   Once ShipGear has initialized, you can connect to UPS WorldShip.
   
   
   
2. Run UPS WorldShipâ.
