Connect the application to the FedEx Freight API.
Click on the name of the integration in the app’s navigation menu to access the shipping provider settings. The Connection Settings page is used to establish the app’s connection to FedEx Freight’s web services. Enter the information prompted for, then click Save Settings. After the settings have been saved, click the Test Connection button. You’ll see a success message if the app was able to establish a connection with the carrier’s servers. If the test failed, something about your connection settings information is incorrect. Make the necessary corrections and try again.
After you have established a successful connection, return to the User’s Guide for the app.
| Which API Will You Connect To? | Select REST API from the dropdown. This is the only connection currently supported by FedEx Freight. |
| Shipper Account Number | Enter the FedEx Freight Shipper Account Number. This account number is the one associated with your physical location. |
| Billing Address | The billing address on record for the main billing account. |
| Physical Address | The physical address associated with the Shipper Account Number. |
| Third Party Account Number | Enter the FedEx Freight Third Party Account Number. This account number is used for shipments when neither the ship-to or ship-from address is the address associated with the Shipper Account Number. You may need to contact FedEx Freight to obtain one if you will have these kinds of shipments. |
Once you enter the connection settings, click the Save Settings button. Afterward, click the Test Connection button. You’ll receive an alert informing you if the connection to the carrier’s API was successful or not. If not, correct the connection settings as needed until the connection is successful. Use the radio buttons for Test Shipper Account Number and Test Third Party Account Number to specify which account number you are testing. If you’re having difficulty getting a successful connection, look over the document about the carrier’s freight account numbers in our Knowledge Base.
