Migration

FedEx has launched its RESTful APIs to provide a modernized customer experience. FedEx Web Services (SOAP-based) is now in development containment, meaning all new features and enhancements will only be available in RESTful APIs. For more information please see our FedEx Migration FAQ page.

To find information on the old FedEx XML API integration follow this link.

Preferences

In order to create a Preference for Fedex V2 in the Multi-carrier application you need to use the shipping/billing addresses linked to that account, as well as a recent invoice or a PIN.

IMPORTANT: When using the PIN option make sure to identify the contact phone number/email under the FedEx account and to have access to this phone number/email, or ask the person it belongs to assist you.

How to reauthenticate the account

If you start receiving authorization errors or just want to reauthenticate the account you can do that by going to the shipping preference > edit > and reauthenticate the account by reentering the FedEx invoice details or PIN.

FedEx Signature and Letterhead

Electronic Signature and Letterhead are required by FedEx for international shipping and will be applied to the commercial invoice. You need the set this up on the Preference. Go to Shipping Preferences and select your FedEx preference.

Click on the arrow and select FedEx Setup Signature and Letter Head.

Test Account

We provide a FedEx test account in the application, so you can test some functionalities without a live carrier account.

However, for best test results we always recommend using your own FedEx account. Your account won't be charged for shipments unless the label is scanned by the courier.

Express services have two options: hazardous_materials, limited_quantity
Ground services have three options: hazardous_materials, battery, excepted_quantity

If needed, you can also add the regulation set: adr, dot, iata, ormd

Now it is time to fill in the dangerous goods details. Depending on the service type and dangerous goods type the available fields change. You can view all available fields in the wizard by clicking on the four-way arrow or by searching "dangerous goods" in the searchbox in the Packages section and the specific carrier fields section of the CAS.

You can also specify the HazMat detail if you want to but this is not required. If you want to specify this, then you first need to go to the Dangerous Goods tab.
If you are migrating from the old FedEx API you can continue using your existing Dangerous Goods Details, otherwise you need create a new one.
