FedEx Shipping Settings

FedEx can be enabled for both domestic and international shipping rates.

If the FedEx is enabled, the application will query the FedEx rate server with the total order weight and return the available rates based on the order’s shipping address or alternate shipping address distance from the shipping origin, the pickup/drop-off type and packaging type specified on the shipping configuration screen in the web-based admin.

Returned rates from FedEx can be marked up to adjust from the returned rate(s) to the actual rate(s) that you will be paying to FedEx to ship the package. (Mark up value is dollar-amount not percentage. Contact Site Store Pro support if you required % based markup.)

To use the FedEx shipping rates API (real-time rate service), you must register for a “meter number” using your FedEx shipping account # and customer information. The easiest way to get you shipping meter number is through the following website: http://www.meternumber.com/  (You can also get a meter number from your FedEx account representative)

After you have received your FedEx meter number, you need to enter your FedEx Account Number and the meter number on the shipping configuration page in the FedEx configuration section.

After you have entered your FedEx account settings, select the rate types you want to offer to your customers on by going to ‘Store Setup’ > ‘Shipping Setup’ > FedEx Rates Configuration

Below is a screen shot of the FedEx delivery (service) types selection form. Service types checked “ON” will be displayed to the customer with their returned rate(s) on the /checkout/order_options.asp during the order checkout process.



Note: You cannot use flat-rate shipping options when using FedEx, UPS or USPS rates. You should uncheck all rate types and carriers that you are not using on the shipping configuration screen
