To sell online, what kind of UPS shipping account is best to have?

This will be small volume (<20 units a month). I need this to hook up to my shopping cart checkout procedure either automatically or manually.

1. ~Probably an Occasional Account. What is an Occasional Account? An Occasional Account gives you the convenience of weekly billing even if you don't require daily pickup. UPS Retail rates will be billed to your UPS Account. More information about UPS Retail rates can be found in the UPS Rates section of the UPS Tariff/Terms and Conditions of Service under the Support tab. With an Occasional Account, you can ship all types of letters and packages using UPS Internet Shipping, which allows you to print shipping labels from your computer. You can also order Air Shipping Documents (ASDs) and Waybills online by selecting Get UPS Labels, Paks, and More from the Shipping home page. You must have a UPS Account number to order these supplies. With this account, you decide when and if you need to schedule a pickup or dropoff your shipments. Once you have prepared your shipment on UPS.com, you have the following options: Schedule an On-Call PickupSM to have your shipment picked up by a UPS driver for a nominal fee Hand your shipment to any UPS driver in your area Take your shipment to The UPS Store®, a UPS Customer Center or an Authorized Shipping Outlet Drop off your Air shipments at one of the 60,000 UPS locations http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/shipping/help/account/faq.html
